Iconic picture. Before leading his own Rwanda Patriotic Front, Paul Kagame was interned by Museveni’s National Resistance Movement as it struggled against successive dictatorships in Uganda. Museveni had, before then been interned by FRELIMO as the Frelimo fought against the Portuguese in Mozambique.

@TheGoldenDays For real...

If you had this setup, you were the neighborhood’s CD plug

@matigary @FlyRwandAir @King Jay also complained about this airline...

Left South Africa this morning on my way to Lagos Nigeria via Rwanda on @FlyRwandAir. I will be sharing my experience here but, so far, I would not recommend using Rwanda Air. It changes schedules and runs late much like Spirit Airlines in the U.S. Rwanda Air and Spirit Airlines have the same spirit.

@Paci__N Science should be made compulsory in all our schools and colleges...

In 1970, an Australian wheat farmer got into a dispute with his government over how much wheat he could sell. So he declared his farm an independent country. The government ignored him. He ruled it as a prince for the next 50 years. His name was Leonard Casley. He owned a 75 square kilometre property in Western Australia, several hours north of the city of Perth. The Australian government had set new wheat quotas that would let him sell only about one percent of his crop. When he protested, he claimed officials threatened to forcibly take his land. So he found an obscure British law from 1495 called the Treason Act, which said a “de facto king” of any territory could not be charged with treason. He declared his farm a sovereign nation, named himself Prince Leonard, and notified Australia. Under Australian law at the time, the government had two years to formally object. They didn’t. Leonard took the silence as legal recognition. He went all in. He printed his own currency. He printed his own stamps. He issued his own passports. He gave his wife and seven children royal titles. He built a tiny stone palace. He set up embassies in nine countries. In 1977, when the Australian Tax Office kept demanding taxes, he formally declared war on Australia. A few days later, having received no military response, he declared a ceasefire and announced victory. The tax demands stopped. Tourists started showing up. At its peak, his “country” had 40,000 visitors a year. He stamped their passports for them. He sold them his stamps and coins. In 2016, on the principality’s 46th anniversary, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom personally sent him a letter wishing his country a happy birthday. Leonard ruled for 47 years. He passed away in 2019 at 93. His son Graeme took over, but the tax bill had grown to over three million Australian dollars and Covid had stopped the tourists. In August 2020, the Principality of Hutt River formally rejoined Australia.

@KingJayZim King you are doing a Wonderfull job...Cholera does not need invitation...This is going to be a perfect hideout for criminals hitting both cities...Gweru and Bulawayo...

#ShantyTownShangani Drove through Shangani, that small outpost about 100km along the highway from Bulawayo, and I won’t lie, it left me uneasy. What should be a quiet stopover is slowly slipping into a shanty sprawl, the kind you associate with South Africa’s informal settlements. You can see it happening in real time, structures going up with no planning, no services, no sense that anyone is stepping in to manage it. If this continues unchecked, it’s not hard to imagine it heading down the same path as places like Kibera in Kenya .That’s not a road Zimbabwe should be walking. And you don’t even need to stretch your imagination to see the risks. Sanitation looks shaky, infrastructure is thin, and that’s exactly the kind of environment where disease thrives. Cholera doesn’t need an invitation. What really struck me though, almost jarringly, is that right next to these shanties there’s a new housing development taking shape, proper homes, structured, planned. Two completely different futures sitting side by side. Shangani has history, it has identity, and it sits in territory tied to the legend JR Goddard, “Jabula Kupela.” With the right attention, this place could easily be cleaned up and turned into a tidy, welcoming stopover. It wouldn’t take much, just intent, coordination, and a bit of pride in the place.

Chatunga Mugabe and Matonhodze are in court today for sentencing. An Investigating police officer says Sipho Mahlangu, the shooting victim, was paid R250 000 as compensation, and R150 000 is owing. Sentencing was postponed to 29 April, as prosecutors demand jail time over a shocking shooting at Chatunga’s luxury Hyde Park home.

الممثل الأمريكي "كلينت استوود" البالغ من العمر 98 سنة، قال في كلمة مؤثرة له مؤخراً. "مُرعبٌ هو التقدم في العمر أليس كذلك؟. ها أنتم ترون كل شيء بأعينكم. عظام لا تتحرك بلُيونة، ونظر العينين متعبٌ لهما الضوء، والرئتين تغتَنمان فُرصة الراحة من البحث عن نفسٍ متعب جداً.. لكن المُرعب والمُتعب أكثر هو حين تبلغ التسعين سنة ولا تجد أحداً مِن مَن تُحبهم بقربك يستمع بتذمرٍ لقصص تاريخك المليء بالبطولات الوهمية، وأنت تعلم أنه غير مهتم، لكن تستمتع ؛ كجد، في نقل ما تراه مناسباً لأحفادك. مرعب أن تكون وحدك بعد أن كان الجميع يبحث عنك، وفي الأخير، بعد قضاء عمرك بحثاً عن الضوء، لم تفز بأسرة، وعشت في الظلام حين احتجت ليدٍ تدلّك على الضوء؟! اهتموا بتكوين أسرة. فالجري خلف الشهرة كالرماد الذي نفخت فيه الرياح.. فلا هو أشعل ناراً. ولا هو ظلّ ثابتاً في مكانه" #زياد_أبوزناده
