Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Julio Enciso has detailed how he passed out on a flight to link up with Paraguay for this international break. Del Paraguay cover the player today and his recent post on social media, in which he details the event and appears to laugh it all off.

It appears the international break has had started off on the wrong foot, though, as his flight to Ecuador for the game was particularly eventful for the 20-year-old.

When Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse tabled a motion for the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on October 1, most MPs from the Mt Kenya region were among the 291 signatories. The circulation of the list whipped up emotion in the Mt Kenya region with voters taking advantage of available platforms to profile the motion’s supporters as the candidates for ouster in the 2027 General Election. Unlike Mr Kinyanjui, some MPs from Mt Kenya made a last minute change of heart and voted against the motion. Mr Wandeto on Wednesday told Nation.Africa that the views of his constituents informed his change of heart. Mr Wandeto expressed hope that his signature would not contribute to seeing the DP confirmed as indeed deposed.

Supporters of Daniel Chapo, leader and presidential candidate of the ruling Frelimo party attend the final rally campaign ahead of the national election in Matola, Mozambique October 6, 2024. Mozambique votes on Wednesday in a tense general election highly likely to deliver victory to the ruling party, Frelimo, which has governed the Southern African nation since 1975. He faces Venancio Mondlane, a charismatic independent candidate who draws huge crowds, former rebel commander Ossufo Momade, and another opposition party leader, Lutero Simango. Rebel force turned opposition party Renamo usually comes a distant second.

Children accompany armed gang members in a march organised by former police officer Jimmy "Barbecue" Cherizier, leader of an alliance of armed groups, in the Delmas neighbourhood, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, May 10, 2024. Haiti's armed gangs are increasingly recruiting children into their ranks, a report by Human Rights Watch warned on Wednesday, as near-famine conditions push boys to pick up guns while girls are sexually abused and forced into domestic work. Girls are raped and forced to cook and clean for gang members, the report said, and often discarded once they become pregnant. The leader of the Village de Dieu gang, for instance, is a rapper and publishes well-polished music videos of his soldiers. The report said he has a specialised unit to train children how to handle weapons and set up checkpoints.

US President Joe Biden has postponed his trip to Germany and Angola, potentially ending the excitement surrounding what would have been his maiden trip to Africa since he took power. The White House on Tuesday confirmed the grapevine that had swirled on social media networks over the past week, that Mr Biden would not be travelling to the two countries as previously planned for October 10 to 15. The White House did not announce the new dates, but President Biden will be leaving office, having stepped down from contesting for a second term. The White House had referred to the project in a dispatch about the visit that was due on October 13 to 15 and also alluded to democracy issues. In November last year, President Biden hosted President Lourenço at the White House for a meeting that marked 30 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
