A 28-year old man in Hoima District, Uganda, Anatoli Kiiza, has asked the government to legally authorize him to test his locally made weapons. Kiiza states that he has manufactured and upgraded a missile which he can test if the government permits him to do so.

He claims to have 'researched on the internet' how missiles are made in countries like USA,China and North Korea. “I have manufactured and upgraded a missile. I can also manufacture a rocket launcher,” he said.

Kiiza previously made attempts to fabricate a machine similar to a missile in June 2012 but Police arrested him. After undergoing interrogation, he was released without being prosecuted in the courts of law. According to him, his love for weapons manufacturing can be traced in his childhood.

UN negotiates release of 876 children held by Nigerian army for possible Boko Haram ties

The United Nations has negotiated the release of nearly 900 children detained by Nigeria's army and security forces. According to Unicef's regional director for Western and Central Africa, Manuel Fontaine, who disclosed this after visiting Borno State, the 876 children had been held in the barracks in Maiduguri.

 

It was not immediately clear how long they had been held, but the army routinely detains civilians who have been living in areas that had been ruled by the insurgents on suspicion that they too might be linked to militant activities. (Fontaine is pictured above with displaced girls in Maiduguri, many of them are in school for the first time)

However, rights groups say there is no proper legal process for such civilians, including the children, since they do not get formally charged and some end up in so-called rehabilitation centres, which the groups say are like prisons. The United Nations says children should not be detained.

Comey for coming out to disclose that the FBI was investigating a new batch of email messages from her private server, alleging Mr Comey was a threat to her presidential candidacy as the timing was 'deeply troubling' while her rival Donald Trump blasted her, saying she was trying to 'politicize' FBI's investigations.

the existence of new emails that could be relevant to the agency’s investigation into Clinton’s private email use four months after clearing Hillary of any 'wrong doing in use of private email servers while secretary of state' .

But would you believe that just 13 years ago, he was a homeless convicted felon, addicted to heroin, covered in ulcers, and weighing 106 pounds (left).
