A group called Kina Events wants to make music shows under the moon every month. These shows will bring people together to listen to good music. They named it 'Moonlight Session'.
They did their first show on February 14 at Atelier du Vin. Two singers, Platini P, and Nel Ngabo, sang for people celebrating Valentine's Day. Everyone loved the music, and many people came to watch.
Clement Ishimwe came up with this idea. He wants to create special music shows where people can listen to singers from Rwanda and other parts of Africa. He thinks these shows will help people enjoy music under the stars. He plans to bring the best singers and make the show sound and look amazing.
The first show made Ishimwe very happy because lots of people...
Countries in East Africa will grow very fast in the next few years. A big bank in Africa said these countries will make more money than other places in Africa. They think East Africa will grow by 5.3 percent next year and 6.1 percent the year after.
A smart person named Kevin Urama works at this bank. He said African countries are doing well even though they face many problems. Many countries have made new rules to help people buy food and other things they need. These rules will help make prices lower and help countries handle their money better.
Many countries in East Africa will do very well. South Sudan will grow the most because it can sell more oil through big pipes that go to the sea. Uganda will grow because it wants to make...
People in a country called Burundi are being mean to others who came from Congo. These people ran away from their homes because they were not safe there. They belong to a group called Banyamulenge.
The leaders in Burundi are doing this because they lost some fights. Their army went to help Congo fight against another group called M23, but they did not win. Instead of accepting they lost, they blame these people who left Congo to be safe in Burundi.
This makes many people worried. When countries treat people badly just because they come from somewhere else, it can make everyone angry and scared. The Burundi leaders should stop hurting these families who only want to live safely.
Many important people from different African countries...
Rwanda wants to build small factories in a place called Kanyinya. The city leaders are asking people to come and build their businesses there. Minister Prudence Sebahizi said they have already marked out the roads and spaces where factories can go.
This new factory area sits near a river called Nyabarongo. The place is big, covering 73 hectares of land. The people who own land there can build their factories or sell their land to others who want to build something. Some of the land will be used for roads and other things everyone needs.
The factories in this area must be clean and safe. People can build places to make food, bake bread, store building materials, make furniture, and fix cars. They can also build places to keep things...
A court in Rwanda said a man named Jean-Baptiste Mugimba must stay in prison for 25 years. He did bad things during a terrible time in Rwanda back in 1994. He helped hurt many people from a group called the Tutsi.
Mugimba worked for a group that hurt lots of Tutsi people. Two years ago, judges said he helped plan these bad things. They found out he made lists of people to hurt and set up places to catch them in parts of Kigali, a big city in Rwanda.
Mugimba told the court they had made a mistake. He said people lied about him because they wanted his things. The court listened but did not believe him. Many people saw him plan meetings at his house where they made plans to hurt others.
The people who wanted Mugimba punished asked the...
People from many African countries met in Ethiopia to talk about making life better for everyone in Africa. The meeting happened in a big building where leaders from 55 countries came together to share ideas.
Africa has lots of treasures under its ground. There are shiny metals like gold and helpful minerals that people use to make things. The land is perfect for growing food. But other countries take these treasures away, and Africa does not make much money from them.
The leaders want to change this. They said Africa needs fair treatment from banks and other countries. Right now, Africa makes very little of the world's things, and banks often think African countries cannot pay back loans. This makes it hard for African countries to...
Scientists in Russia have made a special new computer called a quantum computer. It uses tiny pieces of a metal named rubidium. These pieces are like building blocks, and the computer has 50 of them.
The computer works amazingly. The scientists catch single atoms and control them with laser beams. They make the atoms very cold and move them around with the lasers. This helps the computer think better than other computers.
The Russian computer is different from computers made in America and Europe. It runs better because it makes fewer mistakes and needs less power. This computer is much better than Russia's earlier computers. Last year, they had a computer with only 20 blocks, and the year before that, they showed President Putin one...

BlackRock owns the most shares after the main owners. They have bought land in many places where people...
The UNDP gave the people who run elections in The Gambia a new office building at a special meeting in Kanifing. The new office will help make voting better and fairer for everyone in the country.
Ms. Evelyn Edroma from the UNDP talked about how they want to help The Gambia have good elections. She said they will open another office this Saturday in Janjanbureh. The UNDP spent 4.3 million Gambian money to fix up the building and put in new equipment.
