Whoever said that you should never judge a babe by her looks had a point. There is a Mufumbira babe in the neighborhood called Harriet. I had always ignored her for a very long time; she decided to turn it into a grudge. Harriet used to give me a very wide smile whenever I would meet her but when she realized that I wasn’t making any ‘serious’ move, she stopped greeting me and whenever I tried to greet her, she would give me a very mean look and walk away. It was through her friends that I got to know that she never wanted to talk to me again because I was mean with my whopper! Can you imagine? Ok, I would have closed my eyes and shafted her because there was nothing appetizing about her. Advertisements She is this kind of babe you can’t even say “how are you”—...

«Je me souviens encore de tes émissions: «le débat africain» que nous écoutions chaque matin avec mes camarades. C’était un rituel tous les dimanches et nous en débattions parfois jusqu’à 12h sans avoir mangé. Puis il y avait «Archives d’Afrique». Mais progressivement l’eau coula sous les ponts et tu finiras par t’embourgeoiser comme beaucoup de journalistes africains qui d’un jour à l’autre prennent de l’influence dans l’espace public. Tu changeas. Tes émissions ont pris l’allure d’un savant dosage d’équilibrisme où les acteurs les plus acerbes contre les tyrannies étaient régulièrement interrompus ou recadrés… On ne te demande pas de prendre position sur la situation au Cameroun, mais de dénoncer le génocide dans la zone anglophone, les crimes contre l’humanité, les violations des droits de l’homme, les détentions arbitraires, les tortures. Qu’est-ce qu’un journaliste si ce n’est un défenseur des libertés et la démocratie? Je n’irai pas plus loin, mais je...

In the unfolding trade tensions between Malawi and Tanzania, the stakes are far too high for posturing, silence, or missteps. Malawi’s recent decision to ban the import of certain agricultural products–citing the need to protect domestic industries–has triggered diplomatic backlash from our neighbour to the north, with Tanzania threatening retaliatory measures that could severely undermine Malawi’s economic and logistical interests. The situation has escalated to the point where Tanzania has not only announced a ban on agricultural exports to Malawi but has gone further by threatening to block Malawian cargo destined for international markets from passing through Tanzanian borders. Fertiliser exports to Malawi have also been suspended. This, by any standard, is a serious escalation. While Malawi, as a sovereign nation, has every right to protect its domestic industries and build self-reliance, it must exercise that right responsibly–especially within the framework of regional and continental trade agreements such as SADC,...

The escalating ground offensive and shelling in battles between the (Sudanese Armed Forces) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in and around the North Darfur capital of El Fasher over the past week, has resulted in a new humanitarian emergency, as ‘at least three million’ displaced civilians have fled westwards, and are overwhelming resources in the Tawila and Jebel Marra areas. As previously reported by Radio Dabanga, the stream of newly displaced, and mostly re-displaced people includes at least half a million former residents of Zamzam camp, which has been effectively obliterated. Untold hundreds have died, thousands injured, in what commentators have termed ‘the final catastrophe’ for the camp. Graphic evidence is provided in a report published last week by the Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) at the Yale School of Public Health, with satellite imagery showing the effects of fires and destruction caused by artillery shelling and drone attacks....

Bosaso (WDN) — Puntland security forces have seized a suspicious boat carrying Somali nationals and foreigners, including children, off the coast of the eastern region of Puntland, amid intensified operations against Daesh militants in the area.

Tuesday April 22, 2025 Mogadishu (HOL) – At least one civilian was killed and three others injured on Tuesday after a landmine explosion struck near a small restaurant along the main road in Dayniile district of the Somali capital, Mogadishu.
