    Amavubi Braces for a Tough Battle Against South Sudan Prince Jean Dec 21, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Rwanda’s Amavubi Team Prepares for a Tough CHAN 2024 Qualifier Against South Sudan. Cassa Mbungo André, coach of the South Sudanese team Jamus, has warned that Rwanda's national team, Amavubi, will face a tough challenge in their upcoming CHAN 2024 qualifier match against South Sudan. Cassa, who started coaching Jamus in August 2024, said South Sudan has strong attackers and defenders. Speaking to the media accompanying the Amavubi team, he explained: "Especially in attack, they are very fast and score many header goals from crosses. Defensively, they have good players. However, they are not very strong in midfield." The Amavubi team, made up of many young players, has arrived in South Sudan to play the first leg of the qualifier. Cassa believes that if Rwanda’s players focus on connecting well in midfield and creating more chances for forwards, they have a good chance of success. The South Sudan team includes many Jamus players, who are under Cassa’s leadership. The first leg will be played on Sunday, December 22, 2024, at 3:00 PM (local time), and the return leg is scheduled for December 28, 2024, at 6:00 PM at Stade Amahoro, Kigali.

In a press release on Friday, Atwoli referred to the nominations as "a clear demonstration of President Ruto’s commitment to fostering political stability and national cohesion through the formation of a broad-based and inclusive government." The COTU leader lauded Ruto’s approach of including both allies and former opponents in the Cabinet. "By including individuals who supported him and even those who did not, the President has portrayed a great show of statesmanship that should be lauded and emulated," Atwoli remarked. Atwoli emphasized that the diverse backgrounds of the appointees would improve decision-making by incorporating a range of ideas. "We believe that the current calibre of individuals within the Cabinet will not only promote unity but also enrich decision-making processes through the contestation of ideas and thus ultimately addressing the challenges facing Kenyan workers and in advancing the socio-economic welfare of all Kenyans," he stated. COTU expressed optimism that the newly nominated Cabinet Secretaries would prioritize the welfare of workers and the broader population. "We look forward to engaging with the Cabinet in constructive social dialogue to ensure the dignity and welfare of workers are at the forefront of government priorities," the statement added.

  • Iran Welcomes 45,000 Women to Stadium in a Historic Match | Xtrafrica

    Iran Welcomes 45,000 Women to Stadium in a Historic Match Prince Jean Dec 20, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Over 45,000 women cheer on their favorite teams in a historic football match in Iran. FIFA President Gianni Infantino has praised Iran for allowing women to attend football matches. This happened during a match between Sepahan and Persepolis in Iran's Persian Gulf Pro League earlier this week. In 2022, FIFA suspended Iran's Football Federation due to gender equality violations. Infantino worked closely with Iranian authorities to resolve the issue. Earlier this year, a match between the same teams banned women, leading to fines and a requirement for the teams to play before only women fans in their next encounter. This latest match saw women as the only audience, with over 45,000 attending. Infantino appreciated the decision, calling it a hopeful step toward inclusion. He said, "We are happy to see 45,000 fans allowed to attend such a big derby. FIFA is pleased with the progress after talks with Iranian leaders." Infantino also noted that since last year, when 3,000 women attended a Persepolis vs. Esteghlal match, the number has significantly grown. He emphasized the need to make this change permanent so women can freely attend games. | Football Iran Welcomes 45,000 Women to Stadium in a Historic Match NBC Premier League Prince Dube's Hat-Trick Seals Yanga's Victory in Five-Goal Thriller | Football Kylian Mbappé: Football's Brightest Star Celebrates His Birthday Local Sports Rayon Sports FC Targets Zambian Striker Enock Sakala Junior Related Posts Iran Welcomes 45,000 Women to Stadium in a Historic Match | Football .

    Africa | Foreign Relations Uganda Congo and Sudan seek clarification from Uganda Over Muhoozi's Provocative invasion Tweets kakooza Peter Dec 19, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link DRC's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Sudan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs seek clarity General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the Commander of Defence Forces (CDF) of the Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF), has caused diplomatic tensions with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Sudan due to his recent statements. Both countries have sent protest notes to Uganda, seeking explanations and apologies for Gen Muhoozi's remarks on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), which have since been deleted. On Tuesday, Gen Muhoozi warned that he would attack foreign armed nationals operating in Eastern DRC by January 2025. These forces include United Nations peacekeepers, Southern African Development Community (SADC) troops, and Romanian mercenaries supporting the DRC military against M23 rebels. In another post, he claimed he would collaborate with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to capture Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, where the Sudan Armed Forces are currently battling the Rapid Support Forces for control. These statements have led to official protests from both countries. Sudan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs described Gen Muhoozi's remarks as "unprecedented and deviant utterance displays" and demanded an official apology from the Ugandan government. Similarly, the DRC's Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Ms. Therese Kayikwamba Wagner, summoned Uganda's diplomat to the DRC, Ambassador Twaha Matata, seeking clarification on Gen Muhoozi's statements. This is not the first time Gen Muhoozi's social media activity has sparked controversy. In October 2022, he tweeted about invading Kenya and capturing Nairobi within two weeks, stating, "It wouldn't take us, my army and me, 2 weeks to capture Nairobi." These comments led to diplomatic tensions, prompting President Yoweri Museveni to apologize to Kenya, stating, "I ask our Kenyan brothers and sisters to forgive us for tweets sent by General Muhoozi." Following this incident, Gen Muhoozi was removed from his position as Commander of Land Forces but was promoted to the rank of full General and retained as a senior presidential adviser. Gen Muhoozi has also previously expressed support for M23 rebels in Eastern DRC. In November 2022, he tweeted, "As for M23, I think it is very, very dangerous for anybody to fight those brothers of ours. They are NOT terrorists! They are fighting for the rights of Tutsi in DRC." The Ugandan government distanced itself from his statements at that time. These incidents have raised concerns about the impact of Gen Muhoozi's statements on Uganda's diplomatic relations with neighboring countries. Uganda's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has acknowledged the protests from DRC and Sudan and has stated that they will respond accordingly.

  • President Ruto plans a Cabinet reshuffle, likely sacking underperforming CSs | Xtrafricahttps://static.wixstatic.com/media/436149_59384cd0f124418c8959238ce5486fc3~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1280,h_720,al_c,q_85/President%20Ruto%20plans%20a%20Cabinet%20reshuffle%2C%20likely%20sacking%20underperforming%20CSs%2C%20to%20boost%20Ken.jpg

    Africa | Parties Kenya President Ruto plans a Cabinet reshuffle, likely sacking underperforming CSs Dec 18, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Kenya's President William Ruto President William Ruto is planning a Cabinet reshuffle to improve the delivery of the Kenya Kwanza agenda. Reliable sources indicate that at least two Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) might lose their positions due to underperformance. According to insiders, the President is focused on creating a team that can clearly communicate his administration’s achievements and energize support for his 2027 re-election campaign. During a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday at State House, Ruto posed for an official photo with his ministers. Sources suggest this group photo might serve as a record if the reshuffle happens, which could be anytime soon or early next year. A source close to the matter noted: “The President is very keen to ensure he tames incompetence in his government, and the changes should come very soon. He could start 2025 on a new slate.” This reshuffle follows a pattern, as Ruto also held a meeting and posed for an official photo before sacking CSs in July. The President is reportedly determined to align his team with his goals and strengthen its effectiveness.

  • New HIV Prevention Drug May Reach Poorest Nations by 2025 | Xtrafricahttps://static.wixstatic.com/media/436149_62c6fa22a6104d9cb5521f5478b8d610~mv2.avif

    Africa Health Kenya New HIV Prevention Drug May Reach Poorest Nations by 2025 Bahati shalom Dec 19, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link A groundbreaking HIV prevention drug, lenacapavir, could reach low-income countries by 2025 A groundbreaking long-acting HIV prevention drug, lenacapavir, could become available in the world’s poorest countries by late 2025 or early 2026, according to Hui Yang, head of supply operations at the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. Yang emphasized that key regulatory approvals, including those from the U.S. FDA and the World Health Organization, must be secured before the injectable drug can be distributed. Lenacapavir, developed by Gilead Sciences, is already used to treat multi-drug-resistant HIV, costing around $42,250 per year in the United States. Recent clinical trials, however, showed its effectiveness in preventing HIV infection, prompting Gilead to seek global approval for this additional use. "We don't want...low and low-middle income countries to wait, to be at the back of the line," Yang said, addressing long-standing inequalities in global HIV treatment access. To ensure early access, the Global Fund, PEPFAR, the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are collaborating to make the drug affordable. The initiative aims to reach two million people within three years. In October, Gilead partnered with six generic drugmakers to produce lenacapavir at lower costs for 120 low- and middle-income countries. However, the move faced criticism for excluding several nations, particularly in Latin America. Efforts to overcome these barriers reflect a renewed push to prevent HIV in vulnerable populations without delay.

  • Rayon Sports FC Targets Zambian Striker Enock Sakala Junior | Xtrafrica

    Rayon Sports FC Targets Zambian Striker Enock Sakala Junior Prince Jean Dec 20, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Zambian striker Enock Sakala Junior in action, showcasing his goal-scoring prowess. Rayon Sports FC, a well-known football club in Rwanda, is keen to sign Zambian striker Enock Sakala Junior to strengthen their attack. At just 22 years old, Sakala has already shown great skill and potential, making him a top choice for teams looking to improve their offense. Career Achievements Sakala started his football journey with ZESCO United, one of Zambia's top teams. Under coach Mumamba Numba, he made his debut in the 2020/2021 FAZ Super League season. That year, Sakala contributed seven goals, helping ZESCO United win their ninth league title. In the 2023/2024 season, he netted 12 goals and was the second-highest scorer in the MTN Super League, helping ZESCO qualify for the CAF Confederation Cup. His impressive form caught international attention, and in July 2024, he joined Egypt’s Modern Future FC, signing a deal until June 2028. Why Rayon Sports Wants Sakala Currently leading the Rwanda Premier League, Rayon Sports is looking to stay ahead by signing Sakala. At 1.86 meters tall, his height and goal-scoring skills would add much-needed power to the team’s forward lineup. Sakala’s experience in both domestic leagues and continental competitions, including the CAF Champions League, makes him a strong candidate to boost the team’s performance. Challenges in the Deal Although Sakala is a promising addition, his current contract with Modern Future FC until 2028 poses a hurdle. Rayon Sports would need to negotiate a transfer fee. Moreover, transitioning to a new league and country could take time, requiring both the player and club to adapt quickly. Rayon Sports’ interest in Sakala shows their ambition to improve with proven talent. If successful, this transfer could significantly benefit both the player and the club, leading to greater achievements in domestic and regional competitions.
