The news came amidst warnings that Kenya could lose even more in the times ahead, as the scuffle between the two countries over oil imports escalates. When Uganda announced it was building its oil pipeline to the Tanzanian port of Tanga, it was a huge payday for the southern forces. Uganda, Burundi, and later Kenya, boosted the northern forces with their lead on the African Union peacekeeping mission in Somalia (AMISOM). When the Uganda–Tanzania crude oil pipeline is completed, the Southern forces will take home the trophy. But even without the current flap over oil imports, that business was inevitably going almost wholly to Tanzania in the next 10 years.

Brentford forward Yoane Wissa hailed the “togetherness” of his DR Congo team after they reached the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) quarter-finals in Ivory Coast by beating Egypt on penalties. “No team will let us win, so togetherness has been the difference,” Wissa told BBC Sport Africa. This Afcon is the first for France-born Wissa, 27, who began representing DR Congo, the nation of his parents’ birth, in 2020.

Politics / GOP Border Theatrics Have Escalated to Threats of Civil War Republican states have pledged to mobilize National Guard troops to defend the placement of razor wire at Texas’s southern border. (Lokman Vural Elibol / Anadolu via Getty Images)It’s shaping up to be banner week in the theater of incoherent rage known as Republican border politics. “It is interesting Republicans four months ago would not give funding for Ukraine, for Israel, for our southern border, because we demanded changes in policy,” he said. Texas’s demented putsch has already claimed the lives of three immigrants who drowned in the Rio Grande when the Texas National Guard rebuffed Border Patrol agents seeking to intervene. In addition to the threatened blockade of National Guard troops charged to defend Abbott’s border sadism, right-wing leaders are already dispatching militia-style convoys of armed citizens to Eagle Pass, the site of the Texas border standoff with the feds.
