DR Congo has stopped letting planes from Rwanda fly through its skies. This means RwandAir planes must take longer routes to reach places like London.
One RwandAir flight from Kigali to London had a big problem. The pilot told everyone they couldn't fly over DR Congo anymore. The plane didn't have enough fuel to take the longer way around, forcing them to land in Uganda at Entebbe airport. The passengers waited there for five hours before they could continue their journey. They arrived at London's Heathrow Airport eight and a half hours late. The flight crew worked very hard to help make things better for everyone.
Flying around DR Congo adds two extra hours to flights between Rwanda and London. This causes problems for many airlines...

He talked about how both countries work together to make each other better and stronger. Ambassador Popp brought another American soldier with him named Lt Col Christian Noumba. Ambassador Popp said nice things about how Uganda's army helps keep peace in Somalia by fighting bad people there.

Qatar and Rwanda made a new rule that their people can visit each other's countries without special papers. Both countries signed this friendly agreement when Rwanda's leader, President Kagame, went to Qatar to meet their leader, Sheikh Tamim.
People from Rwanda and Qatar can stay in each other's countries for 30 days without asking for permission first. This makes it much easier for families to travel and for business people to work together. Rwanda already lets people from more than 50 different countries come to visit easily, and many countries let Rwandan people visit them easily.
President Kagame and Sheikh Tamim had a good meeting in Qatar. They talked about ways their countries can help each other grow stronger. They want more...
Dr. Muyingo wants university leaders to work together nicely. He spoke at a special meeting at Kyambogo University, where new leaders were starting their jobs. He told them they must help each other and not think about themselves first. He came to speak instead of Janet Museveni, who runs all the schools in Uganda.
Dr. Muyingo believes these new leaders can improve the university because they know many different things. He wants them to use what they know to help students learn more, make good rules, and create nice places for everyone to study.

The Uganda Defence Ministry wants more money to buy new planes. They need 381 billion shillings to help Uganda Air Cargo fly better. A person named Kahonda asked for this money because many planes are old and some were damaged when birds hit them.
Some government officials think the army should not run Uganda Air Cargo. Mr. Akora believes the company would work better if regular business people helped run it. He thinks the army makes it hard for the company to work well with other businesses.
Another person, Mr. Kateshumbwa, wants to merge Uganda Air Cargo with Uganda Airlines. He believes this would save money and make both companies work better together, helping to spend the people's tax money more wisely.
The Defence Ministry also...

Uganda has a special team called the Uganda Development Corporation, or UDC. The UDC helps start big projects that regular businesses might find hard to do on their own. They look for projects that need lots of money or might seem risky to normal companies.
The meeting lasted two days. Everyone agreed on several important things...
Schools in Malawi told students they must leave if they receive money from America. This happened because the American president, Donald Trump, stopped sending money to other countries for three months.
Many students in Malawi need this American money to attend big schools, which teach important subjects like farming, health, and science. James Mphande, who works at one of these schools, said they can't continue doing many things without the money from America.
A student named Patience feels very sad about this news. She studies how to work with computers and business. The money from America paid for her classes and her room and helped her buy food. She didn't expect this would happen. These days, she needs to borrow money from her...
