Uganda King Oyo Buried Amid Succession Dispute, Leaders Call for Unity

Last week President William Ruto announced a sudden crackdown on foreign nationals operating small businesses, giving them a 90‑day window to register or leave. Burundian tuk‑tuk driver Ndaikech Ali and other migrants rushed to the embassy for exit permits, while families such as Grace Wamaitha’s suffered sudden loss of income and the threat of separation. The government has since offered a 90‑day registration period for undocumented traders, but critics warn the policy risks stoking xenophobia and hurting Kenya’s trade ties, especially with neighbouring Burundi.

By 2026, 25 years after the attacks, Gen Z has no direct memory of 9/11, only the stories stacked in schools and homes. Many remember vivid images like the falling man and news clips, yet most describe the event as “deeply harrowing, terrifying.” Researchers note a tendency among young people to lighten the topic with humor or deflection, even as a few seek deeper academic understanding through university courses. The varied federal school requirements leave many students uncertain about the material, prompting educators to urge a nuanced, historical approach. As the anniversary approaches, the generation’s perspectives continue to shape national conversations on remembrance and policy.

Israeli Defence Forces have destroyed a large underground Hezbollah complex in southern Lebanon, reportedly using 1,000 tonnes of explosives to blast two 2‑km tunnels under the Ali Taher Ridge. The explosion triggered seismic activity equivalent to a 4.1‑magnitude earthquake. No immediate response came from Hezbollah or the Lebanese government, while residents reported shaking and evacuation. The strike comes amid renewed Israeli operations in the region, with casualties and displacement continuing under the current conflict.
