Tanzania bans South Africa and Malawi imports as trade row escalates
MBEYA, Tanzania — Tanzania has banned all agricultural imports from South Africa and Malawi in the latest episode of a growing trade row."We are taking this step to protect our business interests. This is business - in business, we must all respect each other," Tanzania's Agriculture Minister Hussein Bashe said on Wednesday, while confirming the move.South Africa has for years prohibited the entry of bananas from Tanzania. Malawi, which shares a border with Tanzania, has blocked imports of flour, rice, ginger, bananas and maize from its northern neighbour.Diplomatic efforts to resolve the long-running trade issues have so far failed but Bashe said fresh talks were ongoing.South African exports to Tanzania of various fruits, including apples and grapes, will be hit....

Africa remembers Pope who spoke for the continent
NAIROBI — Millions of African Catholics, as well as the continent's leaders, are mourning a man who they felt spoke for Africa.Home to nearly a fifth of the Church's followers, or 272 million people, Africa is becoming increasingly important in the Catholic world, and observers say Pope Francis did a lot to raise the profile of the continent within the institution.Heads of state reflected the sentiments of many describing how the late Pope spoke out for the marginalised.Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu called him a "tireless champion of the poor" and his South African counterpart Cyril Ramaphosa highlighted his "world view of inclusion [and] equality".The Vatican says that over the past year, seven million Africans have converted to Catholicism, making the...

NAIROBI — Two Belgian teenagers have been charged with wildlife piracy after they were found with thousands of ants packed in test tubes in what Kenyan authorities said was part of a trend in trafficking smaller and lesser known species.Lornoy David and Seppe Lodewijckx, both 19-year-old, were arrested on 5 April with 5,000 ants, appeared distraught during their appearance before a magistrate in Nairobi and were comforted in the courtroom by relatives.They told the magistrate they were collecting the ants for fun and did not know that it was illegal.In a separate criminal case, Kenyan Dennis Ng’ang’a and Vietnamese Duh Hung Nguyen were also charged with illegal trafficking in the same courtroom, following their arrest while in possession of 400 ants.The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS)...

Paramilitaries declare rival government in Sudan
SYDNEY — Sudan's paramilitaries have declared the formation of a rival government to the country's armed forces, two years into a war that has become the world's largest humanitarian crisis.The leader of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Mohamed Hamdan "Hemedti" Dagalo, said the group was "building the only realistic future for Sudan".The announcement came as London hosted an high-level conference to mark the second anniversary of the conflict, where the UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy called for "a pathway to peace".Fighting raged on, with the army saying it had bombed RSF positions outside the city of el-Fasher, forcing hundreds of thousands to flee the Zamzam refugee camp.Hemedti said the RSF was building a "state of law" and not a...

Tens of thousands of people have been forced to flee a camp in Darfur in the wake of the most recent attacks
UK hosts Sudan talks as people face famine
LONDON — A high-level international conference is under way in London to find "a pathway to peace" in Sudan, hosted by the UK's Foreign Secretary David Lammy.Sudan's civil war began exactly two years ago causing what aid agencies call the world's worst humanitarian crisis.The UK is promising an extra $120m (£91m) worth of food and medical assistance.Charities say 30 million people in Sudan are in desperate need, and people are starving as a result of the war."Many have given up on Sudan – that is wrong – it's morally wrong when we see so many civilians beheaded, infants as young as one subjected to sexual violence, more people facing famine than anywhere else in the world... We simply cannot look away," Lammy said opening the meeting on...

More than 400 killed by rebels in Sudan says UN
LONDON — More than 400 people have been killed in recent attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan's Darfur region, says the UN citing "credible sources".Last week, the RSF launched an intense ground and aerial assault on refugee camps surrounding the city of El-Fasher in an attempt to seize the last state capital in Darfur held by their rival, the Sudanese army.The two warring sides have been locked in a bloody power struggle since April 2023. This has created the world's largest humanitarian crisis and forced millions to flee their homes.The UN said it had verified 148 killings between Thursday and Saturday, but warned the toll was much higher.UN spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani told the BBC their verification process was still ongoing and their...

The payments are the first under a 2020 deal between the state and the former farm owners
Zimbabwe makes first compensation payments to white farmers over land grabs
HARARE — Zimbabwe's government has announced an initial pay-out of US$3m (£2.3m) to white farmers whose farms were seized under a controversial government program more than two decades ago.It is the first payment to be made under the 2020 compensation agreement signed between the state and the local white farmers in which Zimbabwe committed to pay $3.5bn (£2.6bn) for seized farmland.Thousands of white farmers were forced from their land, often violently, between 2000 and 2001.The seizures were meant to redress colonial-era land grabs but contributed to the country's economic decline and ruined relations with the West.The payment announced on Wednesday will cover the first 378 farms, out of a total of 740, for which compensation had been approved.It represents 1% of the total...

KINSHASA — Three Americans have been transferred to the United States after their death sentences over a foiled deadly coup were commuted to life imprisonment last week by Congolese authorities, in the wake of talks with US government officials.The Americans, Marcel Malanga, Tyler Thompson Jr., and Benjamin Reuben Zalman-Polun were among 37 people sentenced to death by a military court in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in September for participating in the failed coup led by Malanga’s father, Christian.At least six people, including Christian Malanga, an opposition politician were killed in a gun battle with presidential guards as the putschists sought to overthrow the government last May.“They will serve their life sentences in the United States,” presidential spokesperson...

South Sudan says US visa ban caused by mistaken nationality
JUBA — South Sudan has criticized the revoking of US visas for all its nationals, saying it was based on an incident involving a citizen of a different African country.US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the visa ban on Saturday, citing South Sudan's refusal to accept the return of its citizens being removed from the US.But South Sudan's foreign ministry said that a man who was refused entry after being deported from the US was a citizen of the Democratic Republic of Congo.It added that the individual was "returned to the sending country for further processing".This is the first time the US is targeting all passport holders from a particular country since President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January, having campaigned on an anti-immigration...
