By Associated Press Undefined KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Uganda's electoral commission said Saturday that longtime President Yoweri Museveni has won a sixth five-year term, while top opposition challenger Bobi Wine alleges rigging and officials struggle to explain how polling results were compiled amid an internet blackout. In a generational clash watched across the African continent with a booming young population and a host of aging leaders, the 38-year-old singer-turned-lawmaker Wine posed arguably Museveni's greatest challenge yet. The self-described 'ghetto president' had strong support in urban centers where frustration with unemployment and corruption is high. He has claimed victory. The electoral […]

Maputo — Some of the terrorists who attacked and briefly occupied the town of Macomia, in the northern Mozambican province of Cabo Delgado on 28 May, fell into an ambush mounted by the defence and security forces at the Nova Zambezia village last Friday, according to a report in the independent newssheet \"Mediafax\".
After the ambush the Nova Zambezia villagers helped themselves to the loot abandoned by the terrorists.
But the following night, a group of terrorists returned to Nova Zambezia and, perhaps in revenge, murdered several of the villagers.
The 28 May attack on Macomia town, coincided with raids on nearby villages and on the administrative post of Chai.
The terrorists also burnt down several houses, and the Chai health centre.
The Tanzanian government's tepid response to COVID-19 and seeming lack of transparency over coronavirus cases is fuelling concern that it is covering up the true extent of the pandemic, according to doctors and health experts in the East African country.
Since Tanzania's first known case of COVID-19 was detected in the northern city of Arusha in March, the government has officially registered 509 positive cases and 21 deaths.
President John Magufuli is chairman of the regional Southern African Development Community bloc, yet it was South Africa that called a SADC meeting this month to discuss COVID-19, and Tanzania did not participate.
The alleged politicisation of the response is reminiscent of the government's approach to Ebola last year, when it withheld information from the World Health Organisation over potential cases in the country.
The unusual COVID-19 response, which makes Tanzania something of a regional outlier, has led to much speculation, even the idea that the government could be attempting a herd immunity strategy.
