Several Guest Countries Aim for Involvement in CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Prince Jean Apr 8, 2024 ​ Official Logo of CECAFA. Photo provided by Kenyayote The Council of East and Central Africa Football Associations (CECAFA) has officially announced that the 2024 CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup, set to be hosted by Zanzibar from June 26 to July 14, has garnered interest from several teams outside the region keen on participating in the prestigious tournament. This development marks a significant return for the event, which was last held in Ethiopia in 2021. Under the leadership of CECAFA President Wallace Karia, Zanzibar was selected as the host for this year's edition, a decision influenced by the substantial advancements in the island's football infrastructure. John Auka Gecheo, CECAFA's Executive Director, disclosed that discussions are underway with the interested guest teams, with a final list of participants expected to be announced by May 2024. CECAFA officials are scheduled to inspect Zanzibar's sporting facilities later this month, with the New Amaan Complex, Sheikh Abeid Karume Stadium, and Pemba Stadium being the likely venues for the tournament. Gecheo expressed confidence in the event's success, emphasizing its role in aiding teams' preparations for the Africa Nations Championship and the qualifiers for the FIFA 2026 World Cup. Member associations wishing to enter the CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup must remit a participation fee of US$20,000, aimed at ensuring the event's seamless organization. The tournament has historically welcomed guest teams, with nations like Libya, Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Zambia having previously participated. The CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup's return is highly anticipated, especially after the hiatus following Tanzania's victory in the 2021 edition, where they triumphed over Burundi in a penalty shootout (6-5) following a goalless draw in regulation time. Kenya secured the title in 2017, defeating Zanzibar in the final held at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos, while Uganda claimed victory in 2019, beating Eritrea 3-0 in the final in Kampala.

Credit: CAF Online As anticipated, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially rescheduled the African Cup of Nations (CAN) 2025. The tournament will now take place in Morocco from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026. This decision follows the announcement of the Club World Cup, slated for summer 2025. This marks the third consecutive postponement of the CAN, following delays for the 2021 edition in Cameroon and the 2023 edition in Côte d'Ivoire. The CAF Executive Committee also announced the dates for the CAF TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), which will also be hosted in Morocco. Initially, CAF had scheduled CAN 2025 for July-August to avoid overlapping with the first 32-team Club World Cup, set for June 15 to July 13, 2025, in the United States. However, the summer schedule proved too congested, prompting concerns from various soccer associations about the overwhelming workload on players and teams. Despite CAF's previous denial of postponement rumors, General Secretary Veron Mosengo-Omba hinted at a possible delay in an interview with AFP, stating that discussions were at an advanced stage and a decision would be announced soon. The postponement has now been confirmed. The 35th edition of CAN will make history with its unique scheduling, spanning two calendar years for the first time. The tournament will commence on December 21, 2025, and conclude on January 18, 2026. This shift deviates from the traditional CAN schedule, which typically begins in early January and concludes in early February. The new dates aim to prevent clashes with the newly implemented UEFA Champions League format, set to take effect in 2024. Under the new format, the Champions League group stage's sixth matchday will end in mid-December, with the seventh matchday beginning around January 21. This arrangement allows players participating in European leagues and the UEFA Champions League to represent their national teams without scheduling conflicts. CAF has shown a pattern of adjusting its schedules since CAN 2012, reflecting a consistent trend of flexibility in response to various logistical challenges .

Kenya to Grant Uganda's National Oil Firm Import License to end interstate oil dispute. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link louis Buyisiwe Mar 28, 2024 ​ In a significant development aimed at mending frayed diplomatic relations and enhancing regional energy cooperation, Kenya is poised to issue an import license to the Uganda National Oil Company (Unoc). This move comes after a protracted dispute that escalated to a regional court, impacting diplomatic relations between Kenya and Uganda. Energy Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir announced that the permit, allowing Unoc to import fuel directly via the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC), is underway. "Unoc's forthcoming license marks a pivotal step in our collaboration, leveraging our pipeline as a mutual opportunity," Chirchir stated, emphasizing the strategic use of KPC's infrastructure without compromising its transporter role. This development follows the withdrawal of a legal challenge at the High Court in Machakos against Unoc's licensing, signaling a potential resolution next month. The license will enable Unoc to procure fuel from Vitol Bahrain, transitioning to direct imports that could reshape the regional oil landscape. Also read: Uganda-Tanzania Crude Pipeline Advances with New Coating Facility The resolution of this licensing issue is expected to conclude the legal battle at the regional court, averting further diplomatic strain. Unoc's direct importation from Vitol Bahrain is anticipated to disrupt the traditional fuel supply chain, impacting the revenues of Kenyan oil marketing firms that have historically serviced Uganda. Uganda's shift towards direct imports through Unoc, initiated shortly after Kenya's fuel import agreement with Gulf oil giants to support the Kenyan shilling, underscores the evolving dynamics in East African energy trade. Despite potential challenges for local marketers, KPC's infrastructure utilization by Unoc ensures sustained operational revenue for Kenya. With Uganda importing approximately 2.5 billion liters of petroleum annually, the integration of Unoc into Kenya's oil infrastructure is poised to enhance the efficiency and reliability of fuel supply in the region, fostering stronger economic and diplomatic ties between the two nations. Kenya's decision to license Unoc for direct fuel imports heralds a new era in East African energy cooperation, promising to stabilize regional relations and optimize the use of shared infrastructure. This strategic move not only addresses the immediate logistical and legal challenges but also sets the stage for future collaboration in energy and beyond, reinforcing the bonds of partnership between Kenya and Uganda .

Ghana Intensifies Anti-LGBTQ+ Legislation with New Bill Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link louis Buyisiwe Feb 29, 2024 ​ Ghana's parliament steps towards stringent anti-LGBTQ+ laws signify a growing resistance to LGBTQ Harsher Penalties Proposed Ghana's parliament has passed a stringent bill targeting the LGBTQ+ community, introducing up to three years of imprisonment for individuals identifying as LGBTQ+ and up to five years for those involved in LGBTQ+ organizations. The legislation, supported by major political parties, awaits President Nana Akufo-Addo's approval, who has indicated his decision would align with public consensus. The move amplifies existing laws where gay sex is punishable by a three-year term . International Concerns and Local Response The bill has drawn criticism from international bodies like Amnesty International and UNAIDS for threatening basic human rights and inciting potential violence against LGBTQ+ individuals. It also proposes up to 10 years in jail for LGBTQ+ advocacy directed at minors and mandates public reporting of LGBTQ+ individuals. This legislative action follows the closure of Accra's first LGBTQ+ community center in 2021 amidst widespread protests and disapproval from religious and traditional leaders, emphasizing the country's conservative stance on LGBTQ+ issues. Watch Ghanian lawmaker at UN assembly . Comparative International Landscape Ghana's approach mirrors a recent trend in some African nations, like Uganda, where anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments have led to similarly harsh laws, raising concerns about human rights violations and the impact on public health and societal development. Legislative Debate and Modifications The approved bill has been moderated from its initial version, reducing jail terms and removing clauses on conversion therapy. Despite proposals for alternative penalties like community service and counseling, the parliament favored incarceration, reflecting a robust opposition to LGBTQ+ rights within the legislative body.

Ibuka continues its pursuit for single sided genocide narrative by attacking U.S. Secretary Blinken Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Griffith Sarah Apr 23, 2024 ​ President Kagame on the left and Secretary Blinken on right In a heartfelt plea, Ibuka, the leading coalition of associations representing survivors of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, has formally requested U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to revise a statement he made during the 30th commemoration of the genocide on April 7. Ibuka's appeal highlights a continuing discrepancy in the recognition of the events that transpired in Rwanda during that dark period. During the commemoration, Secretary Blinken referred to the atrocities as "the genocide" or "the Rwandan genocide," and his statement recognized the suffering of "Tutsis, Hutus, Twas, and others." This characterization has sparked significant controversy because it contrasts with the United Nations resolutions which clearly define the events as a genocide specifically against the Tutsi. The statement issued by Blinken was seen as not adequately distinguishing the Tutsi as the primary victims of the genocide, which was orchestrated by extremist Hutu factions intent on their extermination. According to Ibuka, this lack of specificity not only obscures the true nature of the genocide but also inflicts emotional pain on survivors who feel that the specific targeting of the Tutsi is being overlooked. In their letter to Secretary Blinken, dated April 17, Ibuka expressed that survivors are "emotionally devastated and offended" by the U.S. government's failure to explicitly acknowledge the Tutsi as the genocide's main targets. They argue that such acknowledgments are crucial for accurate historical documentation and for the healing process of those affected. This incident underscores the ongoing challenges in the global recognition and understanding of the Genocide against the Tutsi, emphasizing the need for careful consideration and accuracy in official statements about such sensitive historical events. Ibuka's request to Secretary Blinken calls for not only a revision of his statement but also for a broader reflection on how such events are recognized internationally. Ensuring that official narratives accurately reflect the targeted nature of genocidal acts is vital for justice and reconciliation. The U.S. State Department has yet to respond to Ibuka's letter . The global community watches closely, as the outcome of this request could influence how historical narratives of genocide are shaped and preserved for future generations. Meanwhile, Rwandan activists in prisons and those in the diaspora have relentlessly urged the international community not to overlook the lesser-known aspects of the genocide that occurred in regions like Kibeho. These activists, including the late Twagiramungu Faustin, current presidential aspirant Nahimana, Ingabire Victoire, and countless others now in Rwandan prisons, argue that in Kibeho, Hutu refugee women and children were massacred in broad daylight by the victorious FPR army from Uganda, led by the well-known warlord Ibingira. To date, Ibingira has not faced any courts of law for justice, either domestically or internationally. This violence continued into Northern Rwanda and refugee camps in Congo, where, according to the UN mapping report, extremist FPR Tutsis killed over 10 million Hutus.

AfDB to Boost Infrastructure Funding Amid Accelerating African Growth Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Ayize claire May 29, 2024 ​ AfDB President Akinwumi Adesina The African Development Bank (AfDB) is poised to increase infrastructure funding as Africa's economic growth is projected to accelerate. According to AfDB President Akinwumi Adesina, growth is expected to rise to 3.7% this year and 4.3% next year, up from 3.1% in 2023. Speaking at the bank's annual meeting, Adesina highlighted the resilience of African economies despite challenges such as climate change, geopolitical tensions, global inflation, and rising debt. Over the past nine years, the AfDB has invested more than $50 billion in infrastructure projects across the continent. Adesina also mentioned that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently approved the use of Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) by multilateral banks like the AfDB. SDRs are interest-bearing international reserve assets allocated to IMF member countries based on their shareholding. Adesina expressed optimism that channeling the approved $20 billion SDR limit to multilateral development banks could enable the AfDB to leverage up to $80 billion in new financial support. The bank is actively involved in several major infrastructure projects, including raising $3.2 billion for the East Africa standard gauge railway, which will connect Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Burundi. Additionally, the AfDB is providing $500 million for the development of the Lobito Corridor, aimed at linking Zambia, Angola, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Uganda Begins Ninth Population Census Amid Technical Difficulties Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Mbeki edmond May 12, 2024 ​ Two Ugandan men dressed in census personnels jackets On Friday, Uganda launched its ninth population census, an event that follows recent censuses in neighboring East African countries such as Tanzania, Rwanda, and Kenya. This regional trend reflects significant demographic changes over the past decade. However, the start of Uganda's census faced multiple challenges, including issues with the digital tools used in data collection. Faulty tablets, language barriers, public reluctance, adverse weather conditions, identification problems, and delayed payments have hampered the progress of this 10-day census, budgeted at Ush333 billion ($88 million). Despite these setbacks and the declaration of a public holiday to facilitate participation, little progress was noted by Friday afternoon. The census management was quick to address these issues, with Alfred Geresom Musamali, the Publicity and Advocacy Advisor for the National Population and Housing Census 2024, apologizing for the early delays. "We are encountering some technical difficulties with the Computer Aided Personal Interview (CAPI) machines, which are being used for the first time," Musamali explained, adding that efforts were ongoing to resolve these issues. Dr. Chris Mukiza, the executive director of the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (Ubos), reported that the census technology upgrade included the purchase of 120,000 portable personal computers with touch screens, acquired for Ush132 billion ($34m) through a United Nations-backed procurement process. The census is a decennial event in Uganda, with the first held in 1911. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni emphasized the importance of the census during the launch at Kololo Independence Grounds, stating that it provides essential data for government planning. The insights from the census are expected to guide the evaluation of the National Development Plan III, which concludes in July, and will inform the development of future national strategies. This year's census aims to answer critical questions about Uganda’s estimated 45.5 million residents: their numbers, locations, conditions, possessions, and access to services. The data gathered will play a crucial role in shaping Uganda's socio-economic strategies moving forward.
