Uganda opposition leader Bobi Wine ‘escapes’ house arrest

Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine says he escaped a night‑time raid on his home by police and army personnel, hours after rejecting early election results that show President Yoweri Museveni heading for another term in office. In a post on X, the former pop star, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, said security forces stormed his residence, cut power and disabled some CCTV cameras before he managed to flee.​ Wine said he is now in an undisclosed location while his wife and family remain effectively under house arrest, surrounded by soldiers and police. Ugandan authorities have denied abducting him, with a police spokesman insisting he is “at home” and “not under arrest,” despite his party alleging an army helicopter had earlier landed in his compound and taken him away.​ The opposition figure has accused the government of massive vote‑rigging in […]

Tanzania lifts curfew and eases internet blackout after post-election violence

Tanzania has begun easing restrictions imposed after last week’s violent elections, with authorities lifting a nationwide curfew and partially restoring internet access. The move comes after days of unrest that the opposition says left hundreds dead. The electoral commission declared President Samia Suluhu Hassan the winner of the October 29 election with 98 percent of the vote, a result the opposition party Chadema dismissed as a “sham.” An AFP correspondent reported a slow return to normalcy in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday. Many residents cautiously resumed daily activities, though fear of renewed violence remained. “I hope violence will not come again,” said Rehema Shehoza, a 32-year-old food vendor. “Some of us would die from hunger because I need to get out for work to get my daily bread.” Police confirmed the lifting of the curfew imposed on election day, and […]

Tanzania’s Hassan Wins Landslide Amid Deadly Post-Election Protests

Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan has won a landslide re-election, securing 97.66 percent of the vote, according to official results released on Saturday. However, the victory has been overshadowed by days of deadly protests and allegations of a violent government crackdown. The Tanzania Electoral Commission announced the result on state television, stating that Hassan dominated every constituency. A swift swearing-in ceremony was scheduled for later on Saturday, the broadcaster added. The main opposition party, Chadema, was barred from participating in the election after its leader was charged with treason. The party accused security forces of killing hundreds of protesters since demonstrations erupted on election day, Wednesday, across major cities including Dar es Salaam and Arusha. Chadema’s spokesman told AFP that around 700 people had been killed, citing figures collected from hospitals and clinics. A security source and a Western diplomat […]

Tanzania Votes as President Samia Suluhu Hassan Heads for Easy Re-Election

Voters across Tanzania are heading to the polls on Wednesday to elect a new president, parliament, and local councillors. But despite the appearance of a competitive race, few doubt the outcome: President Samia Suluhu Hassan is expected to win comfortably, extending the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party’s six-decade hold on power. The CCM—known as the Party of the Revolution—has governed Tanzania uninterrupted for 64 years. And while multiple candidates are listed on the ballot, analysts and rights groups say the field has been heavily tilted in favor of the incumbent. “This election is more of a coronation than a contest,” said political analyst Joseph Mwaipopo. “The opposition has been systematically weakened, leaving voters with little real choice.” Opposition Silenced Before the Vote Human rights organizations have reported widespread intimidation of opposition figures, activists, and journalists ahead of the election.

M23 Rebels Capture Goma as Thousands Flee in DR Congo.

Rebels from the M23 group have seized control of Goma, a key city in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, following intense fighting that forced tens of thousands to flee. Residents reported hearing gunfire and explosions as the M23 rebels advanced against the Congolese army. Goma, home to over a million people, is now quiet after the clashes.This escalation comes amid accusations that Rwanda is supporting the M23 rebels, a claim Rwanda denies while blaming DR Congo for supporting militias. The conflict has caused over 400,000 people to be displaced this year alone, particularly in the provinces bordering Rwanda. With key roads blocked and the airport inoperable, humanitarian efforts have been severely hampered.The United Nations has called for Rwanda to withdraw its forces from DR Congo, while local leaders urge for a peaceful resolution to prevent further violence. The M23 […]
