G20 summit begins in Rio as Trump’s return unsettles global order
BY REUTERS Leaders of the Group of 20 major economies began arriving on Monday at Rio de Janeiro’s Modern Art Museum for their annual summit, bracing for a shift in the global order with the return to power of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva received the heads of government on a red carpet at the museum where they will meet through midday on Tuesday. Their discussions of trade, climate change and international security will run up against the sharp U.S. policy changes that Trump vows upon taking office in January, from tariffs to the promise of a negotiated solution to the war in Ukraine.

Senegal’s president faces budget challenge after likely parliamentary win
BY REUTERS A likely absolute majority for President Bassirou Diomaye Faye’s Pastef party in Senegal’s legislative election would empower him to pursue his ambitious 25-year agenda, though his first challenge will be coming up with a budget amid a fiscal crisis. Faye sought a clear parliamentary majority in Sunday’s vote to implement the reform agenda that helped sweep him to power in a landslide election victory in March. But analysts say creating a budget catering both to his voters’ needs and to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), with which his government is currently in talks, will be challenging. Former president Macky Sall, who headed an opposition coalition, on Monday congratulated Pastef on its win. Former prime minister Amadou Ba, who […] The post Senegal’s president faces budget challenge after likely parliamentary win first appeared on 93.3 KFM.

Put must unveil Cranes ‘Plan B’ on one-year anniversary eve
By Denis Bbosa They say, every rose has its thorn, and for Uganda Cranes coach Paul Put, the sting couldn’t have been sharper than Friday’s 2-0 home humiliation by South Africa at Namboole. It was a result that felt like a gut punch, unraveling the threads of the Afcon qualification celebration just as they were being woven. For a man hailed as a miracle worker – securing Uganda’s return to the Afcon finals after a five-year hiatus in just four games – the timing of this dismal showing could not have been worse. The defeat painted a grim picture of a Cranes side that appeared disjointed, inferior, and bereft of answers against their more cohesive opponents.

Cranes, Put pledge better show
By Andrew Mwanguhya Just like they did at Namboole against South Africa last Friday, Uganda arrived in Congo at the weekend as one of the qualified teams to the 2025 Afcon finals in Morocco. The only difference is that this time they enter their final Group K game against Congo on Tuesday as a beaten side – one that needs quick recovery. Second-half goals from Thapelo Morena and Patrick Maswanganyi did the damage on Friday, subjecting Uganda to their first defeat of the qualifiers.

Mbale High School student found with police uniform arrested
An 18-year-old student from Mbale High Secondary School, Moses Kaseti, has been arrested for illegally possessing a Uganda police uniform, which he allegedly used to impersonate a police officer and commit robberies. Kaseti was apprehended alongside 19-year-old Muhamed Kabuko, reportedly a student from another school, during a security operation led by Yahaya Were, the deputy resident city commissioner (RCC) for Mbale City Northern Division. The crackdown was launched in response to public outcry over a spike in criminal activities, including theft, robbery, rape, and phone snatching in areas such as Nkoma, Namakwekwe, and Central Town. The operation follows an incident last week where a student stabbed a teacher, Kassim Magombe of Mbale SS, for allegedly disciplining him. According to Were, the security team carried out a comprehensive sweep of schools and surrounding areas, leading to the arrests. However, several accomplices managed to evade capture. Were disclosed that Kaseti had allegedly obtained the police uniform from his father in Mukono and had been using it to impersonate a police officer. During the operation, security personnel recovered various weapons, including knives, iron bars, as well as opium and marijuana. Rogers Taitika, the Elgon Region police spokesperson, confirmed the arrests and revealed that the suspects are being held at Mbale Central Police Station as investigations continue. Efforts to reach Moses Wambalo, the head teacher of Mbale High Secondary School, for comment, were unsuccessful as his phone numbers were switched off. {loadposition inarticle}

Mityana residents question police account of deadly Friday shooting
Residents of Kabira, Mityana district, have raised doubts about the police’s explanation of how Isaac Sendawula, a suspect in custody, allegedly stole a firearm and used it to kill David Sserwadda, the man who had reported him to the authorities. Sendawula, who had been detained for two days at Kabira police post following assault charges filed by Sserwadda, reportedly shot and killed his accuser last Friday. The two men were known to have a history of enmity, though the exact cause of their disputes remained unclear. Locals speculated that their animosity might have stemmed from land conflicts or allegations of infidelity, but no concrete details were ever confirmed. Police claim that Sendawula managed to steal a firearm from an officer at the station before carrying out the killing. However, this explanation has been met with scepticism by Kabira residents, who suspect possible collusion between the suspect and some police personnel. Chrysostom Kizito, a resident, expressed disbelief, questioning how a suspect could steal a gun under police watch. "I find this explanation not convincing," he said. "We are wondering whether Isaac learned shooting from the police officers who then gave him the gun, or he already knew how to use it." David Sendawula, another resident, echoed similar concerns, raising doubts about how Sendawula could have learned to use the firearm so effectively. Kabira Police Post, where Sendawula was detained, is a small facility typically manned by one to three officers. Kizito speculated that the suspect might have taken advantage of a lone officer on duty to steal the weapon and kill Sserwadda, who was a crime preventer known for his cooperation with law enforcement. Wamala Regional police spokesperson, SP Racheal Kawala, acknowledged the community’s concerns and assured the public that investigations were underway to determine how Sendawula gained access to the firearm. She confirmed that murder charges had been added to his initial assault charges. {loadposition inarticle}

Mahrez among the scorers as Algeria finish qualifiers in style
BY REUTERS Riyad Mahrez was back among the goals for Algeria on Sunday as they completed their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign with a 5-1 home thrashing of Liberia on Sunday. Mahrez had not scored for his country in his previous seven outings including their calamitous early exit from the last Cup of Nations finals in the Ivory Coast at the start of the year. But he contributed the second goal as Algeria fought back after conceding early to register an easy win and finish their Group E campaign with five wins and a draw for a runaway 16-point haul at the top of the standings.
