Rwanda President Paul Kagame spoke at the start of Kwibuka 31, telling everyone the 1994 genocide against Tutsi people will never happen again. He made this promise because Rwandans stand ready to defend themselves, not because threats have gone away. He talked to over 2,000 young people who joined the Walk to Remember from Gasabo District buildings to BK Arena. The President said bad people might try again, but Rwandans would fight back instead of becoming victims. He pointed out that fighting gives people a chance to survive rather than accepting certain death.
Kagame directly mentioned the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda militia group based in Congo. These fighters include former Rwandan army members who helped cause...
South Sudan says the United States mistakenly sent someone from Congo to their country. This mix-up caused America to cancel all visas for people with South Sudan passports. Officials in Juba explained that the person carried fake travel papers when he arrived at their airport.
Airport staff quickly discovered the traveler wasn't really Nimeri Garang, as his papers claimed. They discovered he actually came from Congo, and his real name was Makula Kinru. South Sudan sent him straight back to America because he wasn't their citizen. Their government stressed they always work closely with American officials about who belongs where.
South Sudan made clear that it accepts its true citizens home anytime, whether they return by choice or...
People wondered about the word chigananda since VP Chiwenga said it at a funeral back in January. Many thought it meant someone who became rich through shady ways. Zanu PF leader Machacha cleared things up during a meeting at Masvingo Polytechnic last Sunday. He shocked everyone by saying it means something completely different. The word actually describes honest business people who earn money through hard work.
Machacha told the crowd it meant the same as bourgeoisie in English. He explained that these are people with money, land, or machines who make more things than they need for themselves. They sell extra goods for profit instead of for personal use. The audience clapped when they heard this new meaning. This explanation changed...
Gospel star Dorcas Moyo spoke up about the online attacks against her lyrics. She made it clear she wants no part of internet fights. People started arguing after she posted the words "Ranganai Zvichakona" on March 31st. When translated, this phrase means, "Your plans will fail." Many fans read political messages into her simple post, turning her music into a country-wide debate.
Moyo told reporters at Zimpapers how deeply the harsh comments hurt her feelings. She chose peace instead of arguing back with angry keyboard warriors. Fighting online wastes creative energy she could use for making more music. The talented singer follows what she calls "quiet diplomacy"—she keeps making songs without responding to misunderstandings. She lets...

Zanu PF leader Munyaradzi Machacha recently clarified what Chigananda really means. Vice President Constantino Chiwenga first said this at the National Heroes Acre back in January. Many people thought it meant someone who became rich through shady deals. During a party meeting at Masvingo Polytechnic last Sunday, Machacha gave everyone a completely different meaning—one that made the crowd very happy.
He explained that Chigananda actually describes a proper businessperson or investor. He told the audience it equals the English word bourgeoisie. He described these people as having capital—money, land, or machinery—which lets them make more goods than they need. They sell extra items for profit. The crowd seemed pleased when he described...
Kenya will tear down a dangerous building in Mombasa tomorrow at 8 a.m. Defence chief Soipan Tuya sent soldiers to help with the controlled explosion. The nine-floor structure at Kilifi Corner started sinking last week because someone drilled into its foundation without permission. Floor columns have already dropped three meters.
Teams from many departments checked the building and agreed it must come down immediately. The county government moved 124 patients from the nearby hospital to safer locations. Eight of these patients needed special care in the ICU. As a safety step, they sent another 380 patients home early.
Everyone must leave areas within 1.2 kilometers of the blast site, including many streets and business areas around...
The government explained what happened with fertilizer Russia gave Kenya at an Africa meeting last August. Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua made accusations after he lost his job. He claimed officials sold 40,000 tons of free fertilizer instead of passing it directly to farmers at no cost.
Gachagua accused certain companies of taking these donations, changing labels, and selling everything back at high prices. He stated that these businesses earned billions through this scheme. Officials confirmed receiving 33,835 tons of fertilizer materials from Russia, equal to around 676,700 fifty-kilogram bags.
Officials explained that these materials came as Murate of Potash, Urea, and NPK compounds farmers could not apply directly to...
