African Leaders meet in Uganda to discuss the eastern DRC Crisis

-


African leaders and high-level delegates have converged in Uganda on February 3 2026, for crucial talks focused on advancing peace efforts in the ongoing crisis in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The meeting took place at State House Entebbe, hosted by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni. 

It involved the AU–EAC–SADC Panel of Facilitators for the DRC Peace Process, led by Togolese President Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé, who serves as the African Union- appointed chief mediator for the eastern DRC crisis.

Key participants and representatives from the region include delegates from Uganda, Kenya, Togo, Nigeria, Central African Republic, and others. 

The discussions aim to strengthen collective regional efforts, foster dialogue, address root causes, ensure security cooperation, and promote sustainable stability in eastern DRC amid escalating tensions involving groups like the M23 rebels, regional actors, and humanitarian challenges.

This gathering builds on prior diplomatic initiatives, including AU-led coordination in Lomé (Togo) in January 2026, Qatari-mediated talks (with recent ceasefire signings in Doha involving the DRC government, M23, and AFC), and regional processes under the East African Community (EAC) and Southern African Development Community (SADC). 

Former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, who arrived in Uganda for the engagements, plays a key role as AU–Kenya Peace Envoy and facilitator of the EAC-led Nairobi Peace Process.

The talks emphasize African-led solutions to the protracted conflict, which has involved rebel advances, cross-border concerns (including security issues for Rwanda and Uganda), displacement, and exploitation of resources. 

They seek to harmonize multiple mediation tracks for de-escalation, political dialogue, and long-term stability in the Great Lakes region.

How Musk's Neuralink Blindsight will allow the blind to see

  Scientists are still stunned by Elon Musk's plan to enable blind people to see, using his Neurolink's Brain Computer Interface chip dubbed Blindsight. Neurolink has already partnered with top Spanish scientists and US Santa Barbara to make a device called Blindsight, a smart Bionic Eye powered by brain implants and AI. Blindsight got the approval of the US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA), though there have been no human trials. Musk confided that Neurolink will perform its first human implant of Blindsight at the course of 2025. Will Neurolink's Blindsight allow Blind People to see? Blindsight is designed to enable people with total visual impairment, as a result of damaged optic nerve but with intact visual cortex, to see. This is enhanced by bypassing the optic nerve and stimulating the visual cortex to create a visual perception. Visual cortex is part of the brain that receives, integrates and processes visual information relayed from the retina.  Blindsigh...

  Land is a vital asset and acquiring it requires utmost caution to avoid finding yourself in a protracted, unending legal battle. As Kenya's economy bites, there has been increased cases of land fraud.  Land disputes have been so rampant, hence the need for advocacy of future land buyers to be cautious when undertaking land transfer processes. Factors to consider when purchasing land in Kenya 1. Do a land search at the ministry of lands. This enables you to confirm the real owner of the land and know whether it has any legal dispute, loan or unpaid tax. 2. Site visit: Make sure you see the land physically and confirm its boundaries. 3. Land verification: Verify the authenticity of the property at the land registry and confirm if it is freehold, leasehold or communal. 4. Sale agreement: Engage a lawyer and a surveyor for legally sound transaction. 5. Land transfer: Make sure the original titledeed is transferred from the name of the seller to your name. 6. Register your land w...

Elon Musk envisiges a future where smartphones are obsolete and communication happens directly through the brain.  According to Musk, Neuralink the brain-computer interface that his company is developing, could eventually replace phones entirely. Imagine navigating the internet, sending and receiving text messages, or even making calls, all with just your thoughts. This sounds like fictional science. However, Musk believes the integration of humans and artificial intelligence is a necessary mileage for human evolution.  Neuralink’s potential extends far beyond convenience; it could disrupt the field of medicine, communication and the way we interact with technology forever. The future Musk envisions is not just coming, it's already in the pipeline. NEURALINK will make Smartphones completely obsolete. Neuralink is a company that was found by billionaire Elon Musk and develops brain-computer interface technology. Its goal is to connect the human brain to computers so as t...
