Itula Criticizes President Nandi-Ndaitwah’s Appointment to Mines Ministry

Dr. Panduleni Itula, leader of the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC), has stated that his party has no objection to the President’s authority to hire or dismiss ministers.

However, speaking to Desert FM 95.3, Itula expressed concern over what he described as a “gross violation” by President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah appointing herself as Minister of Mines, Industries, and Energy following the dismissal of Natangwe Ithete.

He emphasised that the IPC’s concern is specifically about the dual role, rather than the President’s general powers over ministerial appointments.

Fuel Shortages Highlight Mali’s Ongoing Security Struggles

By Staff Reporter

Mali’s military government has suspended schools and universities nationwide due to a crippling fuel shortage. The shortage stems from attacks on fuel convoys by Islamist insurgents, highlighting the continued insecurity in the country despite the junta’s efforts and the presence of Russian mercenaries.

The disruption has affected daily life in Bamako, slowing traffic, limiting electricity, and prompting the evacuation of diplomatic staff. Analysts say the crisis underscores the challenges of governing a landlocked country amid ongoing insurgency, with large parts of northern and eastern Mali remaining outside government control

Museveni Endorses Gen Moses Ali for Adjumani West Parliamentary Seat

By Staff Reporter

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on Monday officially presented the National Resistance Movement (NRM) flag to Gen Moses Ali, endorsing him as the party’s candidate for the Adjumani West parliamentary race ahead of Uganda’s general elections scheduled for 15 January 2026.

The brief handover ceremony reaffirmed the NRM’s confidence in the veteran politician, who has represented Adjumani West in multiple terms since 2001 — losing only once, in the 2006 elections.

According to his campaign team, this will be Gen Ali’s final bid for Parliament, covering the term 2026–2031.

Adjumani District has traditionally been an NRM stronghold, though it has seen occasional opposition inroads. In the 2021 general elections, of 79,364 registered voters, President Museveni garnered 35,125 votes (75.67%), followed by NUP leader Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine) with 7,866 votes (16.94%).

Minister Sankwasa Ends Automatic Contract Renewals for Regional CROs

By senior staff reporter

The Minister of Urban and Rural Development, James Sankwasa, has announced that there will be no automatic contract renewals for Chief Regional Officers (CROs) across Namibia’s regions.

Sankwasa said that any regional council seeking to extend a CRO’s term must submit a comprehensive progress report detailing achievements over the five-year period and showing how allocated budgets were utilised.

“There will be no automatic renewal or extension of CRO contracts,” he said. “The maladministration of regional councils needs to be seriously addressed.”

The minister made these remarks at Otjiwarongo during the handover of agricultural production and engineering services functions from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform to regional councils.

Samia Suluhu Hassan: Tanzania’s First Female President Faces Controversy

By Staff Reporter

When Samia Suluhu Hassan became Tanzania’s first female president in 2021, she was welcomed as a breath of fresh air — conciliatory, reform-minded, and internationally engaged.

Her four Rs policy — reconciliation, resilience, reform, and rebuilding — reopened the country to investors and donors.

Yet over the last two years, critics argue that political freedoms have declined sharply, with abductions, killings, and repression targeting opposition voices.
As Tanzania heads to the polls this Wednesday, many see the vote less as a democratic contest and more as a coronation.

By Staff Reporter

Sudan faces one of the world’s most severe hunger crises, worsened by ongoing conflict across the country. Yet in the highlands of Jebel Marra, western Darfur, food is reportedly rotting before it can reach those in need.

Local officials and farmers blame insecurity and deteriorating road networks for preventing produce from being transported to markets and humanitarian distribution points. The situation underscores the critical challenges of delivering aid and food in conflict-affected regions of Sudan.
