Mnangagwa Won't Budge Vets Ready to Rumble on March 31
Zimbabwe faces growing trouble as President Mnangagwa seems to want more power after his second term ends in 2028. The country has clear laws against serving more than twice, yet many believe he plans to break these rules. This has sparked anger from various groups, including some inside his ruling ZANU-PF party. His Vice President, Chiwenga, feels betrayed since Mnangagwa promised him the top job when they teamed up to remove former leader, Mugabe, in 2017. War veterans who support Chiwenga have become very vocal critics. Their leader, Blessed Geza, plans to start protests against Mnangagwa on March 31. The government has cracked down hard, arresting journalist Blessed Mhlanga for sharing Geza's messages and denying him bail twice...
Docs Cry Betrayal as MPs Get a Fat Pay Rise
Kenya's doctors union, KMPDU, blasted the Salaries Commission for giving in to lawmakers who demanded fatter paychecks starting this April. The union leader, Dr. Davji Atellah, called this move a complete betrayal because health budgets face big cuts that endanger regular Kenyans. He wrote on social media that the government made its priorities crystal clear by handing billions more to politicians right when they reduce healthcare spending the most. The Health Ministry warned in February about a massive 68 billion shilling hole in next year's budget. This huge gap will affect the purchase of essential medical items like HIV medications, vaccines, and blood supplies. Officials said they need 30 billion to run basic public healthcare...

Ndidi Bumbles Golden Chance and Fans Roast Him Big Time
Nigerian soccer player Wilfred Ndidi has apologized to fans after he missed an easy shot during a recent game. The Super Eagles midfielder blew a chance to score during last Tuesday's World Cup qualifier match in Uyo.
