Rise of Ugandan Leader's Son Draws Excitement And Concern
But opposition leaders, critics and others eager for change say his rise is leading the East African country toward hereditary rule. Because Ugandan law prohibits a serving military officer from engaging in partisan affairs, some say Kainerugaba has already crossed the line. A Ugandan attorney last week filed a petition with the Constitutional Court seeking a declaration that Kainerugaba's political activities are unlawful. Bobi Wine, the popular singer who challenged Museveni in elections last year, accuses Kainerugaba's security agents of torture. Kainerugaba's public events, he said, are aimed at "testing the waters" as Museveni gauges public support for family rule.

According to Eritrean Press Agency, a Social media-based Eritrean News source, the TPLF is aiming to control Wolkait – the part of Gonder that the TPLF incorporated as part of Tigray soon after it took power in Addis Ababa in 1991.

The United States and the United Nations are yet to respond about the latest alleged report that TPLF wants them to keep Eritrea out of the war it is planning to start soon.

Ethiopian PM made another tour to a military base in the North West
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed made three trips to three different military bases of the Ethiopian Defence Force in less than two weeks. “I have noticed that the defence force is in a position to restore peace whenever it is disrupted,” he has said in a remark he made after visiting the Defence Force in Humera. The Ethiopian government this week said that the TPLF is engaged in extensive mobilisation for another round of military campaigns. Earlier, the Ethiopian government accused the TPLF of not withdrawing all its forces in the Afar and Amhara regions of Ethiopia. In December 2021, Ethiopian Forces, with the support of FANO and Afar Militia and special forces, dislodged the TPLF forces from most of the Afar and Amhara regions.

Burkina Faso's Displaced Numbers Swell Amid Jihadi Violence
The rush of civilians from rural villages plagued by extremist violence has put pressure on Burkina Faso's cities. When it seized power in January, Burkina Faso's ruling junta vowed to stamp out extremist violence, but it has done little about the swelling numbers of displaced. So far, the junta has not succeeded in stemming the extremist violence. Hard-hit areas like the Center North region, which hosts Burkina Faso's largest displaced population, are buckling under the pressure. With no end to the jihadi violence in sight, the numbers of Burkina Faso's displaced are expected to continue flooding urban centers where they'll be hunting for jobs.

Brexit - Old resentments simmer on
I wonder if it's humanly possible to pen an article about Brexit without rattling someone's cage? Perhaps the closest we can get to a position of impartiality is if we'd abstained and didn't vote at all in the Brexit referendum? It was all highly charged and few Brexit related subjects were ever discussed dispassionately. BackburnerMany would choose to identify Brexit as the root cause of all our current woes but it clearly isn't. Milliband would not have granted that referendum, so a convincing Tory victory was seen as a mandate for a Brexit referendum to finally take place.
