I had a similar conversation, sir, with a former colleague. Senior, just below flag, who was appalled and said that the right call was to send in medics, not a second strike.

Can anyone explain to me why Pete Rose's betting scandal was kept in-house with MLB (both the investigation and his lifetime ban deal with Commissioner Giametti) vs. the Cleveland Guardians scandal being criminally investigated by USAO EDNY?

The election on Wednesday was supposed to cement President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s legitimacy as president of the United Republic. According to the story told by the country’s electoral authority, and state-run media outlets, it did exactly that. The story on Tanzania’s streets is very different.
Hundreds reportedly killed in post-polls violence
Unified Tanzania has never experienced unrest on this scale before.

Raila Odinga, a former prime minister of Kenya and perennial presidential candidate whose populist campaigns rattled authorities and gave him an outsized influence on political life in his East African country, dies of a heart attack while traveling in India.

Odinga's activism helped steer Kenya away from single-party rule and into vibrant multiparty democracy, and made him one of the country’s most enduring opposition leaders.
