Some fighters called M23 have taken over a big city named Bukavu in Africa. These fighters control an important road where people go between two countries, Congo and Rwanda. They came into the city on Friday night and stayed there.
The fighters moved away for a short time on Saturday night. Many people thought they left the city because other countries told them to go. But they came back quickly. The fighters say they want to keep people safe because the army of Congo ran away with soldiers from another country called Burundi.
The M23 fighters went into important buildings like where the city leader lives. The city leader had to run away. The fighters took pictures of themselves in the middle of the city to show everyone they were...
Kenya wanted their leader, Raila Odinga, to become the head of a big African group called the African Union. Many people thought he would win, but he lost to someone from a small country called Djibouti. The winner was named Mahamoud Ali Youssouf.
Odinga stayed happy even after he lost. He thanked Kenya's President Ruto for helping him try to win. At first, Odinga was winning in the early votes. But later, more people started voting for Youssouf instead. They had to vote seven times before Youssouf won.
Some people say Kenya made mistakes that made other African countries unhappy. Kenya helped some fighters in Sudan, which made Sudan angry. Kenya also made Ethiopia upset because of some choices they made. These countries decided to...
The government of Uganda says people should not worry about Dr. Besigye, who is in prison. He visited a doctor at a clinic on Sunday and then returned to prison.
The president's representative, Mr. Kirunda, told everyone that Dr. Besigye was safe. He said the family can visit him in prison whenever they want. Mr. Kirunda asked the family to help Dr. Besigye eat his food because he had stopped eating.
Dr. Besigye was in a military court before, but the highest court in Uganda said people who are not soldiers should not be tried in military courts. The government promises to move his case to a normal court. They say they are working on it but have not said when it will happen.
Dr. Besigye's wife, Mrs. Byanyima, does not believe what...
The doctors sent Dr. Kizza Besigye back to Luzira prison after checking him at a special clinic. The police keep him in jail because they say he had guns he wasn't supposed to have. The doctors said he was very weak and needed help to feel better.
The doctors only saw him for a short time before the police drove him back to prison in an ambulance. Many police officers watched him the entire time. Someone went to look at the clinic late at night and found it empty and closed. This showed that Dr. Besigye's visit was very quick.
His wife, Winnie, feels very angry about this. She thinks the government isn't letting her husband have the medical care he needs. The family believes President Museveni put Dr. Besigye in jail unfairly. They...
Dr. Kizza Besigye has moved from Luzira prison to a special clinic because he is very sick. The police put him in jail because they said he had guns and bullets he wasn't allowed to have. He went to court on Friday, and everyone saw that he didn't look well at all.
The people who run the prison called Dr. Besigye's family late one night. They asked the family to bring his own doctor to check on him. This was strange because before this, they never let his doctor see him. His family became very worried when they heard this news.
The doctors at The Clinic say Dr. Besigye is weak and needs lots of help to feel better. Many police officers stand guard outside the mall where the clinic is. They want to make sure everything stays calm.

A man who lives in Kabale hurt his wife very badly on Valentine's Day. He thought she was seeing someone else, which made him angry. The police caught him and put him in jail.
The police officer, Mr. Maate, said the man's name was Nestor Natukunda. He attacked his wife, Shilla Ainembabazi, near their home on Friday evening. He used a big knife called a panga to hurt her, and then he left the knife in his father's garden.
In early January, Shilla went to Kampala because she wanted to buy things for a new shop. When she came back home, her husband became very upset. He hurt her the first time, and her father-in-law took her to the hospital. The doctors helped her feel better.
On Friday, after hurting his wife again, Nestor called his...
A military leader named Felix Kulayigye talked about two important things. People asked him why Dr Besigye stayed in prison. He said his army follows what the big court told them. He wants people to ask the prison workers and lawyers why Dr Besigye remains there.
Someone asked him about people from a group called NUP. These people did special moves like soldiers. They marched and saluted with their hands. Kulayigye said this looked just like what real soldiers do. He warned that acting like a soldier makes someone face the army court.
He made his point very clear: Anyone who pretends to be a soldier must follow the army rules. The army leader thinks people should be careful about copying what soldiers do because it might cause them...
