Patricia Kaliati questions why officials meet with young people after the State of the Nation Address instead of before it. She believes these chats with youth should happen earlier to include their ideas directly in the President's speech. Meeting with them later makes their feedback less useful since the government has already set its plans. Young citizens deserve a chance to shape national policies from the start rather than react to finished documents.
Kaliati pointed out how President Lazarus Chakwera recently faced awkward moments during his talk with youth at the State House. Several young attendees asked him directly whether he truly leads the nation or if they should expect someone else to take charge. According to Kaliati...

U.S. Vice President JD Vance has sparked controversy with his comments about a potential peacekeeping force in Ukraine. Opposition politicians in the U.K. accused him of disrespecting British forces. Vance said that a U.S. stake in Ukraine's economy would be a better security guarantee than troops from a country that hasn't fought a war in decades.
However, he did not specify which country or countries he was referring to. The U.K. and France have said they would be willing to send troops to Ukraine as part of a peace deal. Vance later insisted that he did not mention the U.K. or France, adding that both had fought bravely alongside the U.S. over the last 20 years and beyond.
In a social media post, Vance added that many countries are...
