Dafroza Gauthier, who dedicated decades to seeking justice for Rwandans implicated in the 1994 genocide, has died of cancer at the age of 72. She passed away on Saturday in Reims, where she had lived with her husband Alain and their three children since the 1980s. Alongside her husband, Gauthier was instrumental in driving civil lawsuits against numerous suspected genocide perpetrators residing in France. Their efforts helped shape the French legal approach towards holding these individuals accountable under the principle of universal jurisdiction. This framework allows for the prosecution of grave crimes irrespective of where they were committed. So far,…

A light-hearted caption, “No sick o, na Gen Z full hospital,” has sparked a significant debate about Generation Z, social media, and professionalism following a viral video involving nursing students from Madonna University.

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) reports that 14 students have been suspended, while one, deemed responsible for sharing the video, has been expelled. NANS is urging the university to reconsider the expulsion, bringing renewed attention to the issue and raising concerns about the impact of students’ online behaviour. The…

DAR ES SALAAM: Elders within the Wekundu wa Msimbazi community have turned to prayer, hoping Ibrahim Doumbia will find his scoring form. The pressure is on, as he is yet to net a league or Champions League goal since joining from Mali, despite a commendable track record that boasted 21 goals last season. Fans are showing their support, with banners celebrating the striker, while attention turns to his anticipated performance against stronger competition rather than mere friendlies. Doumbia has made an impact in the CECAFA tournament, but doubts have crept in about his contributions in domestic play. Rumours suggest his…

North Korea confirmed on Saturday that it successfully test-fired an intermediate-range ballistic missile, asserting that the weapon can manoeuvre in flight to avoid missile defences in South Korea and Japan. The launch comes amid heightened tensions following landmine explosions along the Korean border. Kim Yo Jong, sister of leader Kim Jong Un, stated that her brother oversaw the missile test, describing it as “strategic,” suggesting its potential to carry nuclear warheads. She claimed it can change trajectory at low altitudes and features unspecified artificial intelligence capabilities, which she argued would make interception very difficult. Japan’s military reported that the missile…

He made this announcement during the 13th meeting of the Northern States Governors’ Forum in Maiduguri on Saturday. “Although Boko Haram’s influence has diminished, attacks on our communities continue.

Governor Yahaya highlighted that the ongoing insecurity has rendered many citizens displaced and unable to return home. He lamented the lack of progress on key regional infrastructure projects, such as the Mambilla…

Partial results from Latvia’s parliamentary election indicate that Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs’ centre-right United List party is leading with 35.8 per cent of the vote, with over half counted. This suggests that the country will continue its pro-European and pro-Ukrainian stance. However, populist parties also made gains during the campaign, which was marked by concerns over Russia and the rising cost of living. Kulbergs remarked, “It’s not the end still, but it’s higher than expected,” signifying that voters desire change, which he associates with economic growth and a brighter future for Latvian children. Kulbergs became prime minister just last May.…

A safety engineer who recently left OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has raised alarms about artificial intelligence (AI) developers being “not nearly careful enough.” David Robinson’s remarks come as concerns grow over the potential of AI becoming too powerful, a threat dismissed as a “hoax” by former US President Donald Trump. In a recent op-ed for The Atlantic, Robinson argued that AI needs robust safeguards akin to those in nuclear power and aviation, insisting that “the time for trial and error is over.” He advocated for an increased focus on safety and thorough research before big technology companies advance AI…

Ethiopian federal forces have entered the capital of the Tigray region following reports that local rebels had vacated the city. The violence escalated on September 23 when the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) launched attacks into adjacent areas, stoking fears of a return to the brutal civil war that raged from 2020 to 2022. Recent days have seen government and allied troops pushing back the TPLF, advancing towards Mekelle, the Tigrayan capital. “Ethiopian federal and allied forces have been seen in various locations across Mekelle,” a humanitarian source told AFP on Saturday. A journalist in Mekelle reported that TPLF leaders…
