February 17, 2024 – The United States has issued a strong condemnation of the escalating violence in the eastern regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), attributing the recent surge in hostilities to the M23 armed group, which is reportedly backed by Rwanda and sanctioned by both the U.S. and the United Nations. In a press statement released by Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller, the U.S. expressed grave concerns over the M23's recent incursions into the town of Sake, highlighting the heightened risk this poses to millions already suffering from human rights abuses, including displacement, deprivation, and direct attacks. The statement called for an immediate cessation of hostilities by M23, urging the group to withdraw from strategic positions around Sake and Goma in line with the Luanda and Nairobi peace processes. Furthermore, the U.S. explicitly condemned Rwanda's support for M23, demanding the withdrawal of Rwanda Defense Force personnel from the DRC and the dismantling of surface-to-air missile systems that pose a significant threat to civilians, UN peacekeepers, humanitarian actors, and commercial aviation in the region. Emphasizing the importance of sovereignty and territorial integrity, the U.S. appealed to all states to hold accountable those responsible for human rights abuses in the conflict. The call extends to the DRC government, which is urged to halt cooperation with the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), labeled a "negative force" by regional bodies and the DRC government itself, due to the risks it poses to civilians. The United States reaffirmed its support for regional diplomatic initiatives aimed at de-escalating the situation and establishing conditions for a lasting peace in the DRC. The statement concluded with a call to all parties involved to engage constructively in negotiations to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict. As the international community watches closely, the situation in eastern DRC remains precarious, with the potential for further escalation posing a significant challenge to regional stability and peace.

New research shows Africa’s tectonic split is more advanced than expected, with the East African Rift thinning the crust and accelerating continental separation. Africa may be on track to split into two separate landmasses sooner than previously expected, according to new research examining tectonic activity in eastern Africa. The study, published in Nature Communications , focuses on the Turkana Rift, a 500-kilometer stretch across Kenya and Ethiopia that forms part of the larger East African Rift System, where three tectonic plates meet. Scientists have long known that these plates are slowly pulling apart, a process that could eventually create a new ocean between two future continents. But researchers now say the process appears more advanced than previously believed. “We found that rifting in this zone is more advanced and the crust is thinner than anyone had recognized,” said lead author Christian Rowan, a Ph.D. student in Earth and environmental sciences at Columbia University. “Eastern Africa has progressed further in the rifting process than previously thought.” According to the study, the Earth’s crust at the center of the Turkana Rift is significantly thinner than surrounding regions, measuring about 13 kilometers deep compared to more than 35 kilometers in nearby areas. Scientists describe this as “necking,” a sign that the crust is weakening as tectonic forces pull it apart. To reach their conclusions, Rowan and his team combined field observations with high-resolution seismic reflection, a technique that uses sound waves to map structures beneath the Earth’s surface. The findings also suggest that earlier rifting events may have already weakened the crust in the region, accelerating the current process. Rowan noted that this challenges traditional assumptions about how continents break apart. The area may now be approaching what researchers describe as a “critical threshold.” Anne Bécel, a geophysicist at Columbia’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and co-author of the study, said the rift is entering a more advanced stage of separation. Still, scientists emphasize that the process will take time. The rift first began forming around 45 million years ago, and it could take several million more years before the continent fully splits. For now, the research offers a clearer picture of a slow but powerful geological process, one that, over time, could reshape the map of Africa.

Nigerian singer Harrysong says he is dating multiple women in a consensual arrangement after his marriage ended in 2024. Nigerian singer Harrison Tare Okiri, professionally known as Harrysong , has disclosed that he is currently in a polygamous relationship, following the end of his marriage to Alexer Peres . The musician made the revelation during an interview on Yanga FM in Lagos, where he explained that he is dating multiple women at the same time. According to him, all parties involved are aware of one another and have willingly agreed to the arrangement. Harrysong , who is a father of two, said he does not see polygamy as a problem, stressing that the relationships are based on mutual consent and respect. He added that none of the women involved was pressured into the situation and that everyone is treated fairly. The singer also disclosed that some of the women he is dating are foreigners, including an American. His comments come nearly two years after his marriage to Alexer Peres ended in 2024, about three years after they tied the knot. Following the separation, Harrysong had publicly alleged that his former wife became pregnant for another man while they were still married and claimed they had not been intimate for more than a year. Alexer Peres , however, denied those allegations, accusing the singer of domestic abuse and claiming that he was unfaithful to her on their wedding night. The interview has since sparked renewed public discussion around relationships, personal choice, and celebrity private lives.

A reported drone strike in Mushaki killed at least 24 people, raising concern over civilian safety and ceasefire efforts. A reported drone attack in Mushaki, in Masisi territory, killed at least 24 people and wounded dozens on Friday, May 8, according to ACTUALITÉ.CD . The strike reportedly hit during market activity in an area under AFC/M23 control, more than 40 kilometers west of Goma. The incident matters because it comes as eastern DRC remains locked in a fragile security environment, with civilians repeatedly caught between government forces, allied groups and AFC/M23 rebels. The reported casualties have renewed concern over the use of drones in populated areas. AFC/M23 spokesperson Lawrence Kanyuka accused Congolese government forces of carrying out the strike and said at least 21 civilians were killed and more than 67 wounded. Those figures have not been independently verified. The attack also comes after talks involving the DRC government and AFC/M23 in Montreux, Switzerland, where parties discussed humanitarian access, ceasefire monitoring and prisoner releases under the Doha framework . Conflict monitors also reported that Kanyuka accused the Congolese government of a May 8 drone attack in Mushaki, while noting that FARDC drones had previously targeted M23 positions in the same area in March. The Mushaki incident adds pressure on mediation efforts aimed at reducing violence around Goma and wider North Kivu. Until casualty figures and responsibility are independently confirmed, the strike remains a serious reported escalation with major humanitarian implications.

Zee Nxumalo biography: discover her age, real name, Eswatini roots, biggest songs, awards and rise in South African amapiano. Zee Nxumalo is a Swazi-South African singer and songwriter whose youthful melodies move between amapiano, Afropop and 3-Step. Born Zandile Nxumalo in Eswatini and raised in Alexandra, Johannesburg, she first found an audience by sharing song covers online as a teenager. Her path from church singing to KwaNxumalo , “Funk 55,” “Ngisakuthanda” and Izinja Zam: Vol. I has made her one of Southern Africa’s most closely watched young voices. On X as @ZeeNxumaloZA , as in her music, she presents ambition without hiding the work and uncertainty behind a fast rise. Who is Zee Nxumalo? Zee Nxumalo is a Swazi-South African amapiano and Afropop singer born in 2003. After gaining attention through social-media covers, she built a professional catalogue around KwaNxumalo , “Funk 55,” “Thula Mabota,” “Ngisakuthanda” and the 2026 collaborative EP Izinja Zam: Vol. I . Early life: Eswatini, Alexandra and a voice formed in church Zandile “Zee” Nxumalo was born on 6 January 2003 in Eswatini and grew up in Alexandra, Johannesburg. She is 23 years old as of 30 July 2026. Her artist biography at HDS Entertainment describes her as Swazi-South African and connects her childhood to singing at church, family gatherings and funerals. Music did not begin as a formal career plan. Aunts who heard her sing encouraged her, and communal performance helped make public attention feel normal. In a 2024 WAYA Magazine interview , she also said that she was studying law at the University of Johannesburg. Music and education therefore overlapped rather than forming a neat before-and-after story. Her first real audience lived on a phone screen. At 15, she posted a cover of Mlindo the Vocalist’s “AmaBlesser”; later covers and short performances steadily widened her reach. Looking back on what that visibility changed, she told WAYA: “Social media opened all the doors for me.” That sentence captures the practical beginning of her career. Social platforms did not replace musicianship, but they allowed a young singer without a conventional industry entrance to demonstrate tone, phrasing and confidence directly to listeners.

Social platforms did not replace musicianship, but they allowed a young singer without a conventional industry entrance to demonstrate tone, phrasing and confidence directly to listeners. First releases: building the KwaNxumalo identity Nxumalo began releasing music professionally in 2022. Her debut EP, KwaNxumalo , arrived that June and introduced a singer comfortable with tenderness, dance rhythm and isiZulu-led storytelling. The title placed her surname at the centre, turning a family name into an artistic home. The 2023 deluxe edition expanded the project and included “Pholile 2.0” with Azana and Mlindo the Vocalist, bringing her early inspiration into her professional catalogue. It also featured rapper Nasty C , evidence that her first project could already draw collaborators from outside amapiano. A GQ South Africa profile described the release as a compact four-song project rather than a full studio album. That distinction matters. Music services sometimes place her projects under an “Albums” tab, but KwaNxumalo , its deluxe edition, Inja Ye Game and Izinja Zam: Vol. I have been presented as EPs or short collaborative projects. As of July 2026, she has not released a verified full-length studio album. “Funk 55”: the breakthrough that widened her audience The decisive expansion came with “Funk 55” in 2023. Working with Shakes & Les, DBN Gogo, Ceeka RSA and Chley placed Nxumalo inside a crowded, kinetic amapiano record without losing the lightness of her vocal identity. The song rose near the top of South African streaming charts and earned multi-platinum recognition. ADVERTISEMENT “Funk 55” changed the scale of her career. It connected the intimacy of her covers and early EP to clubs, festivals and large collaborative stages. It also introduced many listeners to the contrast that now defines Zee Nxumalo’s XTRAfrica songs catalogue : a soft, emotionally open voice riding percussion designed for movement. Success continued through 2024. “Thula Mabota” earned platinum recognition, while “Ama Gear” and “Ngisakuthanda” strengthened her place among amapiano’s younger generation. The short project Inja Ye Game , released in November, collected that period’s confidence without pretending her development was complete. “Ngisakuthanda,” awards and a national breakthrough “Ngisakuthanda,” created with TBO and PYY Log Drum King, became an important solo-facing record. Its title means “I still love you,” and Nxumalo delivered the central feeling with restraint rather than vocal excess. In March 2025, the song reached number one on Apple Music’s all-genre South Africa chart. XTRAfrica’s “Ngisakuthanda” song page documents the record within her growing catalogue. The song’s success helped turn industry attention into formal recognition. At the 2025 Basadi in Music Awards, Nxumalo won Sofnfree Artist of the Year. The official Basadi winners record confirms the award rather than relying on nomination language or promotional claims. Her 2025 streaming performance was equally significant: Spotify named her its most-streamed South African woman artist for the year. That result placed her among a new generation carrying South African music beyond one scene or language, alongside globally visible performers such as Tyla . Izinja Zam: Vol. I : prayer, pressure and a more reflective sound Nxumalo’s 2026 work shows an artist testing emotional depth without abandoning rhythm. Released on 24 April, Izinja Zam: Vol. I is a four-track collaborative EP with producer Dlala Thukzin. Apple Music’s release record lists “Bawo,” “Guqa (My Prayer),” “Awe Mah 2.0” and “Ngithathiwe.” The project draws on 3-Step, a slower and more spacious dance style associated with Dlala Thukzin. It gives Nxumalo room to write about faith, gratitude, love and the pressure of public growth. That spiritual focus is not decorative; it reconnects her current music to the church spaces where she first learned to perform. It also places her near a wider 3-Step movement that includes younger voices such as Thukuthela , while preserving her own melodic character. In a July 2026 Viper interview , she explained the project’s purpose: “I wanted people to hear the woman behind the artist.” That intention separates Izinja Zam from a collection designed only to extend previous hits. Its quieter moments acknowledge that a public success story can contain doubt, prayer and fatigue.

That should not be expanded into a more specific ethnic label without a clear first-person statement. Her family helped develop her confidence, especially the aunts who encouraged her to sing, but reliable sources do not publish verified parent names or a complete sibling history. Her relationship status, height and private family life are also not dependably documented. Leaving those claims unresolved is more accurate than repeating unsourced celebrity-profile details. What is public is her investment in younger women. In a January 2026 Glamour South Africa interview , she discussed an ambition to create a scholarship programme for girls. She also summarised the attitude shaping her next phase: “I’d love to be a risk-taker. A believer of my craft. You just have to do it!” Recognition and emerging impact in 2026 The year 2026 has widened Nxumalo’s profile without settling her story. Forbes Africa selected her for its 30 Under 30 list, recognising the business and cultural reach behind her music. Spotify chose her as its EQUAL Africa ambassador for May, placing her image on a Times Square billboard and connecting her to a programme designed to improve women’s visibility on the platform. Awards reporting requires care. She leads the 2026 Basadi in Music Awards nominations with six, but the ceremony is scheduled for August. She is therefore a nominee, not yet a 2026 winner. The same distinction applies to SAMA32: current nomination reporting lists “Ngisakuthanda” for Record of the Year and Music Video of the Year, with results still pending. Her impact lies partly in making softness commercially powerful. Amapiano performance is often discussed through producers, DJs and dance energy; Nxumalo shows how a youthful, emotionally direct singer can organise that energy around a recognisable point of view. Latest releases and what comes next Nxumalo remains active beyond Izinja Zam . On 24 July 2026, she appeared on “Sunflower” by RedC Ngwane and Tyler ICU, extending her collaborative range. Announced international dates across Europe, Australia and Africa suggest that the next test is translating South African streaming success into a durable touring audience. Her long-term direction is still open. A debut studio album would allow her to join the vulnerability of Izinja Zam to the immediate hooks of “Funk 55” and “Ngisakuthanda.” The strongest next step is not simply a bigger hit; it is a body of work that makes those different energies feel like one mature artistic identity.

Gov Umaru Fintiri says Nigeria’s 2027 presidency should stay in the South, reviving debate over the country’s informal zoning tradition. Nigeria’s long-running debate over informal power rotation between North and South is resurfacing early in the buildup to the 2027 general election, after Adamawa State Governor Umaru Fintiri said the presidency should remain in the South. Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, Fintiri argued that while zoning is not written into Nigeria’s constitution, it has become a stabilising political understanding and should be respected for national unity. He said the South should be allowed to “complete eight years,” adding that it is “the South’s turn” to continue in 2027, according to Vanguard’s report . . Fintiri’s remarks land amid heightened manoeuvring across party lines. The governor also used the interview to defend his recent move from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), saying he wanted to better position Adamawa to benefit from the federal government. The zoning conversation is politically sensitive because it sits at the intersection of regional balance, party strategy, and elite bargaining especially as defections and coalition-building accelerate ahead of the next electoral cycle. Recent reporting on the political impact of Fintiri’s defection has framed it as a significant shake-up in Adamawa’s contest for influence ahead of 2027.

DRC welcomes UN report confirming Rwandan aggression, calls for stronger global action against M23 crimes in North and South Kivu. Kinshasa, 07 September 2025 – The Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has welcomed the findings of the United Nations Human Rights Mission of Inquiry on the situation in North Kivu and South Kivu. The report, covering January to July 2025, confirms with evidence that the crisis in eastern DRC is not just a local rebellion but an international armed conflict, marked by the confirmed presence of Rwandan troops on Congolese soil. This recognition establishes that the DRC is a victim of foreign state aggression. The report also highlights serious crimes committed by M23 and their Rwandan backers, including: Massacres of civilians Forced displacement Sexual violence Recruitment of children Attacks on hospitals, schools, and other vital civilian infrastructure Some of these massacres, based on ethnic targeting, are described under international law as possible acts of genocide.

On Allegations Against FARDC The Government noted that the report was shared 72 hours before publication, allowing time for comments. Clarifications were submitted, stressing that there is no command link or political alliance between the Congolese army (FARDC) and the FDLR. Instead, FARDC is a republican army, fully committed to the Constitution, international humanitarian law, and human rights law. Strict presidential orders prohibit collusion, and any violations are met with judicial and disciplinary measures. ADVERTISEMENT Congo’s Position The Government rejected attempts to equate the national army with subversive groups backed by a neighboring state. It stressed that Rwanda’s aggression is driven by terror, mass crimes, and the illegal exploitation of Congo’s natural resources. The DRC remains open to serious examination of any documented allegations against its forces, within existing mechanisms, and is ready to cooperate with impartial and credible international bodies, including independent inquiries.

Dive into Seychelles’ after-dark snorkeling scene UV reefs, bioluminescence, and nocturnal marine life like octopus, squid, and reef sharks in 2025 Ever wondered what happens beneath the waves after sunset? In the Seychelles, the reef throws a nocturnal party of its own. By day you’ll spot rainbow fish and sea turtles, but after dark the reefs come alive with quirky creatures and unexpected glow-in-the-dark spectacles . Night snorkeling here is part nature documentary, part mystery thriller one minute you’re floating under a sky full of stars, the next you’re eye-to-eye with an octopus on its evening hunt. It’s witty, wild, and absolutely worth the pruney fingers. We’ve rounded up the top spots and experiences for an after-hours marine adventure, Time Out style.

Charge up your underwater torch (and your courage), and get ready to meet the Seychelles’ underwater nightlife no VIP list required. Here’s where to dive in (figuratively!) for the most fun you can have with a snorkel after sunset: 1. UV Night Snorkel on Alphonse Island This remote coral atoll turns into an alien landscape after dark. Armed with special UV torches and visor filters, you’ll see the reef glow in neon colours corals fluoresce purple, anemones shine electric green, and even shy fish light up like party-goers in body paint . It’s a trippy undersea disco curated by nature, and you’re swimming through the middle of it. Don’t be surprised if a curious hawkbill turtle glides by to check you out on Alphonse, even the turtles seem to enjoy a little night life. The crew at @bluesafarisseychelles captured this unreal underwater moment off Alphonse Island a surreal swim with one of the ocean’s fastest and most graceful hunters. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience you won’t want to miss,” they wrote, and honestly? We believe them. Where else do you get photobombed by a sailfish in the wild? The catch? Alphonse is exclusive accessible only to guests of the lone eco-luxe lodge (from roughly SCR 14 000 per person/night, about $1000 , all-inclusive indulgence). The upside: that price tag includes a marine safari dream team. Blue Safari guides provide all the high-tech glow gear and safety know-how for your UV night snorkel, so you can focus on the wow-factor .

The upside: that price tag includes a marine safari dream team. Blue Safari guides provide all the high-tech glow gear and safety know-how for your UV night snorkel, so you can focus on the wow-factor . Local tip: Schedule your snorkel on a moonless night for maximum fluorescence. And don’t rush post-snorkel, the lodge bar awaits with a celebratory Takamaka rum cocktail. You’ve just swum in an underwater rave, after all. 2. Baie Lazare’s Bioluminescent Lagoon, Mahé By day, Baie Lazare is all postcard-perfect peace but come nightfall, this Mahé bay sometimes lights up with bioluminescent plankton, turning a moonlit swim into a magical light show. By day, Baie Lazare is a postcard-perfect bay of turquoise water and swaying palms. By night, if you’re lucky, it transforms into a scene from Avatar . Tiny plankton and crustaceans sometimes make the waves glow blue when disturbed imagine snorkeling through sparkles, with each kick of your fin igniting fairy dust in the water. Even when the “sea fireflies” are shy, the reef’s regulars come out to play. Coral polyps unfurl to feed in the dark, and you might spot an octopus flashing its camo colors as it scuttles over the rocks . Meanwhile, reef fish snooze in crevices and moray eels slither out to hunt, giving you a peek into their secret night routines. This experience is as DIY as it gets no tour kiosk, just you, a buddy, and a waterproof flashlight in the Mahé moonlight. Cost? SCR 0 (about $0 ) if you’ve got your own gear though investing ~ SCR 200 ( ~$14 ) to rent a quality mask and snorkel is wise. For safety, stick to the northwest end of the bay where a coral barrier keeps waters calm . ADVERTISEMENT Go during new moon for the best shot at seeing the water glow, and shuffle your feet to gently warn any stingrays of your approach. Insider tip: Chat up the local fishermen at sunset they might share hints on recent bioluminescent sightings or even watch out for you from shore. And when you’re done, warm up with a takeaway bowl of spicy Seychelles curry from a nearby street stall you’ll have earned it. 3. Anse Royale’s “Fairyland” After Hours, Mahé Anse Royale’s nickname is Fairyland Beach , and by night it’s easy to see why. This south-eastern Mahé spot is protected by an offshore coral reef, creating a shallow lagoon that stays as calm as a swimming pool . Slip into the warm water after dark and you’ll drift over swaying seagrass and patchy coral heads lit by your torch. Parrotfish snuggle in their coral nooks (some even secrete a weird bubble “bed” around themselves nature is wild), while tiny squid jet past like erratic UFOs. Every so often, you might catch a pair of lobster antennae waving hello from under a ledge. The vibe here is tranquil and a tad magical picture the silhouette of palm trees against the starry sky as you float, listening to the distant chirp of tree frogs on shore. This postcard-perfect shot by @seyvillas captures the southeast coast of Mahé in full chill mode. Calm, shallow waters make it a local fave for snorkeling, lazy swims, and soaking up pure island serenity . As they put it: “Where the turquoise water meets tranquility.” We couldn’t agree more. Free and fabulous that’s Anse Royale’s promise. There’s no entry fee, no closing time, and the only cost is your gear and maybe a post-swim grilled fish brochette from the food truck by the beach (around SCR 75 / $5 of pure yum). If you need a torch, local dive shops in Mahé sell or rent them for roughly SCR 300 ( $20 ). Start near Fairyland Beach by the rocks , where coral and fish life are richest . Local tip: Go early in the evening while there’s still a whisper of twilight it makes gearing up and getting in easier, and you’ll witness the transition from day creatures to night creatures. Say bonsoir to the last snorkelers leaving the water, then hello to the reef’s night shift. And keep an eye on the sand by your feet baby blacktip reef sharks often patrol these shallows after dusk, utterly harmless and utterly adorable. 4. Desroches Island’s After-Dinner Reef Safari Fancy snorkeling with reef sharks and rays before bedtime? On Desroches a far-flung coral island home to a plush Four Seasons resort you can. The island’s surrounding atoll is a marine wonderland known for legendary dive sites like “Desroches Drop” and “Circus Cave ”. But you don’t have to scuba to get your thrills. After the sun sinks, grab a guide and jump in for a guided night snorkel on the house reef. The water is bathtub-warm and ridiculously clear; shine your light and watch red snappers and jacks flash silver as they dart out of the dark. Often you’ll spot reef sharks (the friendly kind) cruising in for their evening meal – seeing their silhouettes glide by in the blue glow is goosebump-inducing in the best way. The Blue Safari team here loves to point out the weird and wonderful: camouflaged scorpionfish , spiny lobsters waving hello, and psychedelic parrotfish sleeping in their mucous “pajamas.” ADVERTISEMENT This dreamy scene from @beautifuldestinations spotlights Seychelles in full sun-drenched glory. Pristine sand, turquoise water, and palm fronds so perfect they look photoshopped (they’re not). “Discover the allure of this tropical paradise,” they wrote and honestly, we’re already halfway packed. A stay on Desroches doesn’t come cheap villas start around SCR 12 000 a night (≈ $850) but if you’re splurging, you might as well maximize the magic. The resort provides snorkeling gear free for guests, and a night snorkel excursion runs about SCR 800 per person (roughly $55 ). That includes your guide, boat transport if needed, and a post-snorkel fresh coconut to sip (yes, seriously). Pro tip: Ask for the UV torch upgrade the resort sometimes offers fluorescent night snorkeling similar to Alphonse’s setup, turning the reef into a neon art show. And because you’re on a private island, you won’t have any competition for the best spots. End the night by rinsing off and lying back on the beach Desroches has virtually no light pollution, so the Milky Way will be blazing overhead as your personal after-party. 5. Coral Spawning Spectacle at Frégate Island Once a year, the ocean around Frégate Island performs an underwater firework show no pyrotechnics, just coral romance. Coral spawning is the ultimate late-night afterparty for polyps: entire reef colonies simultaneously release millions of eggs and sperm into the sea, turning the water into a snow globe of tiny neon-orange and yellow dots . It’s unpredictable (usually a few nights after the full moon in October or November), but when it happens, it’s pure magic. Picture yourself snorkeling in the dark as the reef suddenly “smokes” around you clouds of coral spawn billowing like an underwater Milky Way. Add in the frenzy of plankton feeders (manta rays and whale sharks have been known to crash this party in other seas), and you’ve got a natural spectacle most people only ever see on Blue Planet. This mesmerizing close-up from @fregateisland captures a rare and magical event: coral spawning off the coast of Frégate. “This is now the fifth year we’ve been lucky enough to witness it,” they shared, referring to the Acropora species’ synchronized lunar dance. For a few nights after October’s full moon, the reef glows with life as tiny eggs drift into the current a moment of hope and resilience in an ocean that needs both. Frégate Island Private is the very definition of exclusive think 17 villas, each with a butler , and rates rumored around SCR 55 000 a night (yep, about $4,000 ). If you’re not a guest, witnessing the spawn is tough (it’s not exactly a scheduled tourist outing). But if you are among the lucky few, be sure to chat up the resident conservationists. They monitor events like the annual spawn closely and might give a heads-up when conditions look right . They can equip you with snorkeling gear and guide you to safe observation spots (no touching, of course those future baby corals need their privacy). Local insight: The phenomenon lasts just a few nights, and different coral species go on different nights . So plan a longer stay during spawning season to maximize your chances. And even if you miss the main event, Frégate’s night diving and snorkeling is superb any time the island’s protected reefs are bursting with life after dark, from phosphorescent plankton swirls to foraging sea turtles. Either way, you’ll leave feeling like you witnessed something otherworldly (and you’ll have the coolest humblebrag at your next dinner party). 6. Moonlight Snorkeling at Anse Source d’Argent, La Digue The world’s most photographed beach has a secret: it doesn’t shut down after sunset. At Anse Source d’Argent , the crowds depart with the daylight, leaving the famous granite boulders and shallow lagoon all to you (and the ghost crabs scuttling across the sand). Wade in under the moon’s glow and you’ll find that this normally placid snorkel spot gets a little edgy at night. ADVERTISEMENT TRENDING NOW How to Check if You Must Submit a SARS Tax Return .

Luxury Travel Top 8 Festivals and Events Celebrated in Luanda, Angola . This surreal snap from @seychelles_on_my_mind feels like something out of a sci-fi film except it’s real. Captured on the powdery shores of Seychelles, where dramatic granite boulders meet starry skies, it’s a gentle reminder: some places look better after dark. The water here is shallow and glassy-calm thanks to an enclosing reef , so you can drift inches above reef fish that hardly notice you. Schools of little silver baitfish might sparkle in your flashlight beam, and if you peek under ledges, you could catch vibrant reef squid lurking, their bodies pulsing red then white like flashing neon signs. The granite formations that look so picturesque in daytime turn into hulking silhouettes underwater eerie, but in a cool way, like exploring an ancient shipwreck. And with the silhouettes of coconut palms swaying against starry skies above, you’ll feel like the last explorer on Earth . Doing a night snorkel here is unofficial and self-guided there are no tour operators on La Digue offering this , so it’s for confident snorkelers only. The Union Estate closes at sundown, but if you’re already on the beach, nobody’s kicking you out (just be respectful and quiet). The entrance fee you paid earlier (about SCR 100 , ~$7) is the only cost , aside from your torch and gear. Bring reef-safe mosquito repellent for when you’re out of the water; those mozzies love sweet tourist blood. Local tip: Aim for a full moon night . Not only is the scenery drop-dead gorgeous under full moonlight, but you also get enough natural illumination to snorkel with your light off at times an almost spiritual experience as your eyes adjust to the glowing seascape. Just you, the gentle swoosh of the Indian Ocean , and perhaps the distant notes of sega music drifting from a beach bar in La Passe. Pure island bliss. Dive In, After Dark The Seychelles isn’t just a paradise from nine to five it keeps the adventure rolling 24/7 . Night snorkeling here lets you channel your inner Sir David Attenborough, minus the camera crew. It’s the kind of offbeat experience that earns you serious storyteller points back home (“Did I mention I followed a shark on a midnight swim?”). A few parting pieces of savvy local advice: always snorkel with a buddy, keep that torch on a wrist strap (fumbling in the dark for a dropped flashlight is a no-go), and respect the ocean’s rhythm look, don’t touch, and the critters will treat you like one of their own. Whether you’re spending zero rupees or a small fortune on your after-dark adventure, the thrill of the unknown is the great equalizer. So go on, take the plunge into the inky blue. As Seychellois fishermen might say, “Bonn nwit, bon lanmér” – good night and good sea. And trust us, the sea at night is very, very good indeed.

Maître Gims faces investigation over alleged money laundering linked to a 117-house real estate project in Morocco. French-based rapper of Congolese origin, Gandhi Djuna, popularly known as Maître Gims, is under investigation over alleged financial crimes linked to a real estate project in Morocco. According to reports , the artist was arrested on March 25, 2026, upon arrival at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport by French anti-fraud authorities. He is being investigated for suspected money laundering and alleged links to organised criminal networks. Gims was held in custody for 48 hours before being released on March 27 under judicial supervision, a legal condition that allows temporary release while investigations continue under strict restrictions. Authorities believe the case is connected to a wider international network suspected of financial crimes dating back to 2023. Investigators are examining transactions allegedly used to channel illicit funds into real estate investments across multiple countries. One of the projects under scrutiny is a luxury housing development known as Sunset Village Private Residences , located near Marrakech in Morocco. The development reportedly includes 117 high-end homes built around a large artificial lagoon spanning approximately 3,000 square metres. Gims has previously appeared in promotional materials for the project, showcasing amenities such as sports facilities, spa services, and recreational infrastructure. French prosecutors handling organised crime and financial investigations have indicated that the case involves a network of over 2,000 companies allegedly linked to illicit financial activities, making it one of the significant ongoing financial crime probes in the country. The investigation could have implications for Gims’ public image, as he remains one of the most commercially successful artists in France, with multiple chart-topping albums and international collaborations.
