Anthrax killed at least fifty hippos plus other big animals in Virunga, the oldest park across Africa. The park boss shared pictures showing dead animals floating down the Ishasha River. These animal bodies started showing up last week. Tests proved anthrax caused these deaths. Nobody knows exactly how the poison spread to all these creatures.
Emmanuel de Merode runs the park. He says his team works hard to collect dead animals for burial, which prevents more sickness from spreading. However, they face many problems because they lack machines to dig big holes. "We cannot reach many areas easily," he told news people. We must bury them with special chemicals to stop germs."

If you live near Nyali Bridge, plan to cross early next Wednesday. The bridge shuts down at 7:30 am on April 9, 2025. City workers need four hours to knock down a falling tower by Coast General. Anyone who must reach the island should travel before 7:00 am. The blocked area stretches 1.2 kilometers from the bad building.
Officials marked off Marikiti Market, all of Jomo Kenyatta Avenue to Sabasaba, and up Ronald Ngala to the bridge. All schools close that day in these areas. Car owners can park for free at Mama Ngina or RG Ngala Grounds. This helps keep your car glass safe from flying bits during a big crash. The county asks everyone to help by staying away.
Governor Abdulswamad Nassir said they must tear down this building for public...
Nigerian courts jailed a make-up artist for six months because he threw money at his wedding party last December. Abdullahi Musa Huseini, known as "Amuscap" by his fans, admitted guilt before the judge locked him up in Kano city. Many people toss cash at weddings in Nigeria to show happiness and success. The act, named "spraying," happens at most big parties. But the government views this as an insult to the naira, which stands as a key national symbol.
The ban against throwing money comes from rules created in 2007. Anyone who sprays, dances on, or steps across the naira faces jail for half a year. They might also pay a fine of 50,000 naira, equal to about $32 or £25. The crime group said Amuscap broke this law with 100,000 naira...

The Gambian Foreign Minister spoke at a meeting about computer brains in Morocco. He warned us that these smart machines might hurt peace if we use them wrong. He wants clear rules for how we handle these tools, plus better teamwork between business leaders and the government. We must help Africa keep up with new tech changes.

Our lawmakers face big changes from these smart systems. The machines help write laws, check facts during talks, and make work easier. Yet, we must ask how...
A group called the Coalition of Progressive Gambians wants better security across the country. They worry about recent armed holdups, strange killings, plus attacks where people were taken against their will. These events make regular citizens feel scared when they walk outside their homes. The team asked hard questions about plans to fix these problems and make streets safer for everyone. They believe the government must spend more money right away to help police and soldiers do their jobs better.
The group claims money meant for safety often goes to pay for trips and cars that have nothing to do with protecting people. They point fingers at the Finance Minister for moving cash away from important safety needs just to please certain...
KMC councilor M.C. Cham Jr. asked police leaders to bring Farm Minister Sabally in for questions. He thinks Sabally said strange things about recent market fires. The minister blamed trash problems during a garden talk before anyone knew the real causes, raising big questions about his inside knowledge.
How did Sabally learn what started these fires? Cham asks if someone shared secret findings with him early. The blazes destroyed many shops at Serekunda Market and Latrikunda areas, and small traders lost all their goods and savings. The police still search for answers about what sparked these flames.
Many market women cried after losing everything. Yet, Sabally seemed more interested in pointing fingers than helping them. Cham once...
