Gianni Infantino, the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) President who stole into office a decade ago on the back of a coup against Sepp Blatter, may be on his way out. He has become like an orphan caught with his hand…

Since the advent of the internet, there has been a dedicated digital art community that’s all about creating through computing. Wacom, a Japanese company founded in 1983, is considered one of the longstanding leaders in this sector. One of the oldest producers of graphics tablets in the world, Wacom has spent the last few years iterating on its Movinkpad series — a specialized Android tablet that creators can use to spin up digital art at the click of a button or the swipe of a stylus.

By Kestér Kenn Klomegâh Health authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) have bitterly complained over their inability to track down new cases of Ebola, which has spread into the Republic of Uganda.

President Tinubu After the bishops’ recent closed‑door meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Cardinal John Onaiyekan made a striking claim: that presidential aides are shielding the President from the true suffering in the country, presenting a false “rosy picture,” and that Tinubu already appears desperate about winning the 2027 election. As a writer and observer of governance, I share that concern. A president who controls the instruments of state, commands a united party, and faces a divided opposition has little rational cause for electoral anxiety — unless overzealous handlers are manufacturing threats where few exist. The question therefore deserves to…

Why it mattersAmid reports of a new United States-led peace plan for the war-torn enclave and a recent spike in Israeli airstrikes on alleged Hamas targets in Gaza, UNICEF stressed that families are now confined to approximately one third of the Strip, sheltering among destroyed buildings, rubble and uncleared waste. “A ceasefire that leaves an average of one child dead each and every day is failing children,” said UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, Edouard Beigbeder. “With hundreds more children injured, many severely, children in Gaza are still waiting for the end to the violence they were promised.”Responding…
