Breaking News: Bushiri extradition ruling delivered In a highly anticipated decision, the Chief Resident Magistrate Court in Lilongwe has ruled that Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and his wife Mary must be extradited to South Africa to face multiple charges. Bushiri is set to face three rape charges, as well as charges of forgery, fraud, and jumping bail. His wife Mary will also face charges of fraud, forgery, and bail-jumping. The court has ordered the couple to remain in custody until they are handed over to South African authorities. However, not all charges against the couple will be pursued, as some – including theft, money laundering, and racketeering – were dropped due to insufficient evidence. Following the ruling, Bushiri’s lawyer, Wapona Kita, has requested that the court pause the extradition order and

Violence against Tesla dealerships will be labelled domestic terrorism and perpetrators will “go through hell”, US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday in a show of support for the electric carmaker’s chief, his ally Elon Musk. Shares of the carmaker closed nearly 4 per cent higher on Tuesday, rebounding from the biggest one-day fall in four-and-a half years the previous day, after the president appeared with Musk at the White House to select a new Tesla for his staff to use.

Reports of more North Korean troops training for deployment in the Ukraine war have raised alarm in Seoul, with intelligence suggesting many of the soldiers sent by Pyongyang are willing to kill themselves rather than be captured in battle.

Optimism about Syria ’s future that greeted the fall of the Assad regime in December is fast waning as sustained US economic sanctions against Damascus and distrust of its transitional government threaten to tilt the country towards chaos again after 14 years of civil war . There are also fears over Israel ’s military intervention in southern Syria to prevent the Islamist administration of transitional president Ahmed al-Sharaa from establishing control there. Meanwhile, the Kurdish-majority northeast remains in control of the US-allied Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), despite a military offensive by the Turkish proxy Syrian National Army. Although the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)-led government in Syria has stayed out of the fighting and engaged the SDF in negotiations, al-Sharaa has failed to ease concerns among the country’s minority communities that
