A wave of targeted assassinations attributed to Israel’s Mossad has unsettled Hamas leadership abroad, as bodyguards protecting key figures in Qatar and Turkey are reportedly being systematically eliminated.

Analysts say the move signals an effort by Israel to weaken the external security shield around Hamas leaders, leaving them more exposed to potential future strikes.…
Across the rural fields of Malawi, a quiet transformation is taking place as amateur drone farming gains momentum, offering fresh perspectives on how technology can reshape Africa’s agricultural future. What started as experimental efforts by young innovators and small-scale farmers has grown into a vibrant movement positioning Malawi as a case study in African innovation. Amateur drone farming involves the use of low-cost, often self-assembled drones to monitor crops, spray fertilizers, and gather critical data on soil health and water usage. Unlike high-end drone systems used in industrial farming elsewhere, Malawi’s model thrives on improvisation and affordability. Local innovators repurpose…

Ghana’s Youth Employment Agency (YEA), established to equip young people with skills and job opportunities, has come under sharp criticism after revelations that it spends GH₵5.5 million every year on office rent—funds critics say could instead finance training programs, entrepreneurship, and permanent infrastructure. Appearing before the Public Accounts Committee, YEA’s Chief Executive Officer Malik Basintale and Youth and Sports Minister George Opare Addo confirmed the expenditure, attributing it to a handover of the property from the State Housing Company (SHC) to private managers, K&A Developers, in 2023. The managers raised rent from GH₵3.2 million to GH₵5.5 million after renovations and…
Israel is preparing to make medical history with what is being described as the world’s first spinal cord transplant, according to a report by the Jerusalem Post. The pioneering procedure, developed by Israeli neurosurgeons and research scientists, is expected to revolutionize treatment for patients with severe spinal cord injuries. If successful, it could enable individuals previously thought permanently paralyzed to regain the ability to walk. The transplant will combine cutting-edge advances in tissue engineering, nerve regeneration, and stem cell technology. While officials have not disclosed the exact timeline, sources indicate that preparations are in advanced stages, and potential patients are…
Israel has intensified its military campaign in Gaza under Operation Gideon’s Chariots, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declaring that the final push to seize Gaza City and dismantle Hamas is imminent.

Military officials say the IDF now controls 75 percent of the Gaza Strip, having established two vital corridors that split Hamas forces between Rafah and Khan Yunis. Netanyahu said he has instructed the military to “shorten the…
Long before foreign scriptures arrived in West Africa, the Asante people had already established a profound relationship with the Almighty God, a truth often overlooked and sometimes mischaracterized as idolatry. Historical traditions reveal that the altar to God in Akan homes was the Nyame Dua — a three-pronged tree branch with a basin on top. When rainwater collected in the basin, it was revered as sacred, believed to flow directly from heaven and reserved for holy rituals. Prayers and libations among the Asante began not with deities, but with God Himself. The first invocation was always to the Creator: “Awurade…
Rwanda has earned global recognition for its clean streets, orderly public spaces, and disciplined urban planning. From Kigali’s spotless pavements to its coordinated waste management system, the East African nation has demonstrated that effective urban governance is not just about policies it’s about consistent enforcement, community participation, and a shared sense of responsibility.

Accra, Kumasi, and Takoradi are all experiencing population surges, informal settlements, and increasing pressure on infrastructure. While we have the talent and resources, our biggest challenge has been coordination between government agencies, municipal…
