The coastal town of Shiabu is battling against the fury of the sea as relentless erosion threatens to destroy homes, livelihoods, and infrastructure. The situation has become dire, with many buildings and properties already succumbing to the pounding waves. Ironically, the disaster could have been mitigated had residents accepted early suggestions to build sea defenses. However, fearing that the structures would hinder their fishing occupation and lead to job losses, many resisted the proposal. Now, as the full force of the sea's fury is felt, it's clear that those few areas that did permit sea defenses have been spared the worst of the damage.

Kigali, Rwanda - In a surprise move, the Rwandan government has banned several churches across the country, citing concerns over "unregulated" and "noisy" religious activities. According to a statement released by the Rwandan Ministry of Justice, a total of 714 churches have been closed, including some of the country's largest Pentecostal and evangelical churches.

"This is a clear violation of the constitutional right to freedom of worship," said Bishop Samuel Mugisha, head of the Rwanda Episcopal Conference. "We urge the government to reconsider this decision and engage in ...
