This is not a new deal. This is what Mudavadi secured during his earlier visit to Moscow. The story here is actually failure to secure a deal for the return of contracted Kenyans on the frontline as well as the bodies of victims.

President Salva Kiir has invited Russian investors to explore opportunities in South Sudan's economy at the Russia-Africa Summit.

Le Comité exécutif de la Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF) a décidé à l’unanimité, ce jeudi, que la Coupe d’Afrique des Nations (CAN) se tiendra de nouveau tous les deux ans.
Le président de la CAF, Dr Patrice Motsepe, avait annoncé, lors de la Conférence stratégique de la CAF organisée au Cap-Vert du 7 au 9 octobre 2026, que le Comité Exécutif réexaminerait la décision prise l’année dernière de faire passer la CAN à un cycle quadriennal.

The de facto SAF government’s amendment to Article 51 of the Criminal Code expands the scope of the offence of waging war against the state to include media and electronic publishing. We could all be at risk of facing the death penalty simply for reporting.

Science gives us hope. Today, in Bunia #DRC, the first participants were vaccinated in a new #Ebola vaccine trial called TUMAINI, which means “hope” in Swahili.
There is currently no approved vaccine against the Bundibugyo virus causing the outbreak. This trial will help us understand whether any of the vaccine candidates designed for Bundibugyo virus work.
In the meantime, the existing Everbo vaccine (licensed for use in preventing other Ebola virus disease) will be tested.
@WHO is supporting this DRC-led effort to find answers and save lives.

🚨A non-public decision from the March summit will also stir controversy: from Dec 2027, every member state will be free to choose the method to designate the EALA members.
Which should disrupt the balance between ruling & opposition parties, women & youth representation.
The East African Community is facing a new crisis: Tanzania had to pay 100% of their yearly contribution because other countries (except 🇺🇬) are yet to start paying theirs ⤵️
