Late Martinez strike earns Man Utd much-needed victory at Fulham
By Reuters A deflected late strike from Lisandro Martinez earned Manchester United a much-needed 1-0 victory at Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday. Looking for just their fourth league win since coach Ruben Amorim succeeded Erik ten Hag in November, United created very few openings in a poor first half at Craven Cottage. The visitors did improve after the break and got the bit of good fortune they needed to grab victory, with Argentine defender Martinez’s long-range winner taking a huge deflection before finding the net in the 78th minute. A timely goal-line clearance from young United substitute Toby Collyer late on helped see the visitors home, with the victory moving Amorim’s side up to 12th in the standings, […]

Congo’s M23 rebels say they will seize eastern city overnight
By Reuters Rwandan-backed M23 rebels laying siege to eastern Congo’s largest city Goma ordered defending government forces late on Sunday to disarm and surrender, saying they were preparing to enter and take control. The M23 rebels have made lightning advances this month in Democratic Republic of Congo’s mineral-rich, conflict-riven eastern borderlands and launched an assault on Goma, the capital of North Kivu province, earlier this week. By Sunday evening, M23 fighters had pushed past Munigi, an outlying neighbourhood around 9 km (5 miles) from the city centre, three sources told Reuters. The rapidly deepening conflict is aggravating one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises and has raised fears the fighting could spill over into a broader regional war. Willy Ngoma, […]

Chelsea boss Maresca says Man City’s Guardiola needs support
By Reuters Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has rallied around Pep Guardiola and said the struggling Manchester City boss needs support after a run of two wins in seven European games left City’s Champions League knockout phase hopes under threat. Chelsea visit the Premier League champions on Saturday, who are fifth in the standings, trailing Maresca’s side in fourth by two points, after a dismal run in the lead-up to Christmas. City are yet to fully emerge from their surprise slump and a 4-2 defeat at Paris St Germain on Wednesday, when they squandered a two-goal lead, has left them outside of the Champions League’s playoff places with one-game of the league phase remaining. “Pep is strong enough in this kind […]

Supreme Court sets ruling date on trial of civilians in military courts
The Supreme Court of Uganda has scheduled a highly anticipated judgment regarding the trial of civilians in military courts. Deputy Registrar Mary Babirye set the judgment date for January 31, 2025, concluding a four-year wait. This case stems from a 2016 Constitutional Court ruling that declared the trial of civilians in military courts unlawful. The court ordered the transfer of all relevant cases to the High Court. Former Nakawa MP Michael Kabaziguruka initiated the case, arguing that military courts lacked jurisdiction over civilians. Kabaziguruka faced charges of treason for allegedly plotting to overthrow the government. The Attorney General appealed the Constitutional Court’s decision, resulting in a stay of execution and a subsequent hearing before the Supreme Court. The upcoming judgment […]
