Ado Melita earned 83 points with A grades in 7 subjects at Moi Forces Academy in Nairobi.

Arsenal Star Wife Faces Horrific Online Threats Over FA Cup Miss

Arsenal forward Kai Havertz's wife Sophia has revealed disturbing social media abuse she received following Arsenal's FA Cup defeat to Manchester United, including threats directed at their unborn child. During Sunday's match, Havertz had two crucial moments that drew intense fan reaction. He missed a significant opportunity to secure victory during regular play and later had his penalty attempt saved by United's goalkeeper Altay Bayindir in the shootout, which ended in a 5-3 loss for Arsenal after a 1-1 draw. Sophia shared two direct messages she received on Instagram, responding to the abuse with calls for greater respect. "For anyone to think it's okay to write something like this is so shocking to me. I hope you are so ashamed of yourself," she wrote in response to one message. On another, she appealed: "I'm not sure what to even say […]

Trump Victory Sparks New Hope For Gaza Peace Deal

A Gaza ceasefire and hostage release agreement, initially proposed in May, is gaining renewed attention in Doha talks between Israel and Hamas. Several key developments have altered the landscape for negotiations. Donald Trump's election as the next U.S. president has emerged as a significant factor. His warning about serious consequences if hostages aren't freed before his January 20 inauguration may influence Hamas's calculations, considering the possibility of reduced restraints on Israeli actions. Israel also faces pressure from Trump to resolve the conflict, as it could affect his broader regional objectives and desired legacy as a peacemaker. Netanyahu's position is complex, balanced between Trump's influence and his far-right coalition partners' war stance. While Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has publicly opposed the deal as "a catastrophe," some analysts suggest that both he and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir may remain in government […]

Former SafeSport Investigator Faces Serious Criminal Charges

A former U.S. Center for SafeSport investigator and ex-police officer has been arrested on multiple felony charges, including rape and sex trafficking. Jason Krasley, who previously served as an Allentown, Pennsylvania, police officer, was taken into custody Friday for alleged crimes committed between 2011 and 2015 during his time on the force. The arrest comes after Krasley's termination from SafeSport following an earlier arrest for allegedly stealing $5,500 from a police drug bust. The Denver-based SafeSport Center, established in 2017 to handle sex-abuse cases in Olympic sports, had hired Krasley in 2021 after he left the Allentown police department. SafeSport CEO Ju'Riese Colon expressed shock at the allegations, stating that the organization maintains high standards for staff members given their role in protecting athletes. The center has initiated a third-party audit of cases handled by Krasley and is consulting experts […]

Trump’s Shadow Looms Over Greenland’s Quest for Freedom

The debate over Greenland's future has intensified following Donald Trump's recent statements about acquiring the island. From the ice-covered fjords of Nuuk to remote settlements, Greenlanders are responding to these developments while navigating their path toward potential independence. In Kapisillit, a settlement of around 40 people, local perspectives reflect the broader sentiment. Church elder Kaaleeraq Ringsted, 73, maintains a firm stance while tending to his cod: "Greenland is not for sale." His connection to the land spans generations of fishing and hunting traditions. Donald Trump Jr.'s brief four-hour visit to Nuuk on the family's private jet garnered mixed reactions. Local businessman Jorgen Boassen welcomed the visit, viewing it as an opportunity for trade and cooperation. However, many locals remain skeptical of external interests in their homeland. The situation has amplified discussions about Greenland's independence from Denmark. Kuno Fencker, an MP […]

This City’s Capture Could Change Everything in Sudan’s War

Sudan's military forces have secured control of Wad Madani, a strategically significant city in eastern Sudan, marking a substantial advancement in their ongoing conflict with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Video evidence on social media platforms documented residents celebrating as military personnel entered the city. RSF commander General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti) confirmed their withdrawal from the area through an audio statement, citing the military's aerial advantage and deployment of Iranian drones as decisive factors. Despite this setback, he expressed determination to continue the conflict "for up to 20 years if necessary." Wad Madani, located 140 kilometers south of Khartoum and serving as Al Jazira state's capital, is a crucial transportation hub connecting multiple states through major highways.
