The police took Ousainou's phone from his house. They gave it to an officer named Sowe, who told Ousainou to remove the lock on the phone. The police then reset Ousainou's phone, erasing information.

Walter Mzembi used to be an important person in the government of Zimbabwe. He was in charge of talking to other countries and attracting more tourists to the country. But some people say he is not telling the truth about his education.
They claim Walter Mzembi graduated from a school that does not even exist. The real school with the same name does not award the special degree he says he has. When he wrote about what he learned, it looked like he was writing about a different person. He finished this writing only a few days after he said he graduated, which is very fast.
Walter Mzembi likes to be called "Dr" because of this degree, but it might not be real. This is becoming a big problem. Lots of well-known people are being accused...

Some powerful countries decided they did not want Raila Odinga to win an important African election. Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia worked together against him. These are called Arab countries. France joined them and asked other countries to vote against Raila, too.
These countries used money and favors to make Raila lose. They wanted Ali Mohammed Youssouf from Djibouti to win instead. Djibouti is a small country, but it is an important place. Many strong countries care about what happens there.
On the day of the election, Youssouf got 33 votes, more than Raila. Youssouf had an easier time because he did not have to travel as much as Raila to ask for votes.
President William Ruto of Kenya and Raila both...

Many things combine to affect how people feel when they choose. They may feel scared of what they don't know, or they may feel happy about what they hope will happen. Things that happened in the past or people around them can also change their feelings.
Three stories show how people's feelings affected how they voted in elections. In one election in Uganda, a rich man wanted to keep his power. He knew the voters were very poor. The night before the election, he brought 50 cows to his house. He invited everyone to a party after they voted. He...
