They pushed back Molly Katanga's court date again because nobody showed up to watch the trial. These official watchers help ensure fairness. The judge planned to hear from computer experts on Monday, but that plan fell apart quickly.
The court needs three regular people named Simon Atongo, Sharp Mutonyi, and Consolate Tabu to sit through everything. These folks listen to all the evidence and tell the judge what regular citizens might think about it. Their words matter even though they cannot force any decisions.
Everyone must wait until March 11 to hear what happens next. Molly stays locked up because the judge refused her freedom request for the third time about two weeks ago. Judge Rosette Comfort Kania believes the case against her...
The American government warned citizens to leave South Sudan immediately because another civil war might start soon. Officials sent out this warning on March 8, 2025, telling Americans not to visit the East African nation at all. The State Department ordered all non-emergency staff to pack up and leave the country immediately. They described many dangers, including crime, kidnapping, and active fighting.
Armed battles happen regularly between different political groups and tribes across South Sudan. Most people can easily find weapons throughout the country. Violent fights often break out when cattle raiders attack communities. These problems affect every part of the nation, even the capital city called Juba.

The Uganda National Bureau of Standards just struck a big deal worth $1.5 million with Trade Mark Africa, which equals about 5.5 billion Ugandan shillings. The partnership aims to help small businesses across Uganda meet quality standards for their farm products. This matters because improved standards open doors to selling goods beyond local markets.
Both organizations want Ugandan products to compete better worldwide. The agreement fits perfectly with what these groups already try to do—UNBS works to improve local product quality, and Trade Mark Africa focuses on making trade easier between countries. They signed papers at the UNBS main office in Bweyogerere.
Ms. Anna Nambooze from Trade Mark Africa pointed out some interesting...
Five women walked out of Buganda Road Court on Monday as free people. The judge let Deputy Mayor Doreen Nyanjura and her friends leave after they promised 500,000 shillings each if they missed court later. Their supporters also promised 1 million shillings if these women ran away. Police had grabbed these ladies from the streets on February 17 during their protest march.
Nyanjura marched with Ingrid Turinawe, Phiona Kyabayiza, Faridah Nangonzi, and Shadia Namubiru through Kampala streets. They demanded Dr. Kizza Besigye's freedom from prison. Police claimed these women blocked roads and caused problems. They felt angry because officials kept Besigye and his friend Hajj Obeid Lutale locked up even after the highest court ruled against...

Rwanda's UN ambassador, Ernest Rwamucyo, blasted Congo leaders during a recent speech. He accused them of massive corruption, bad management of natural wealth, and trying to blame others for their country's troubles. His harsh comments came as many countries started punishing Rwanda with sanctions. The United States, European Union, and other groups claim Rwanda helps M23 rebels steal minerals.
Western nations put economic limits on Rwanda because they believe Kigali supports these armed fighters who control mineral-rich areas. Ambassador Rwamucyo rejected these ideas completely. He said people make these claims to hide the real problems—corrupt officials, terrible leadership, and Western companies stealing Congo resources for years...
