ICC walisema akamatwe popote atakapoend
wakimkamata mnishtue
Pia sperm whale ikitembea Savanna tutakushtua
Acha wenge brathee
ICC ni kangaroo court. African Union citizen hatuitambui. @sludgist ambia msito apitie huku Kenya. Kijiji infantry batallion tuko ngangari.
Hata akienda America kwa bedroom ya ibilisi himself, hakuna anayeweza kumkamata. In the jungle, when some animals find security in numbers and others in their ability to hide or run, there will be one bad ass that don’t fear nothing because all those that are running are scampering away from him.

MOSCOW — The Kremlin’s war is no longer a distant concern for many Russians.
For more than 15 months, the fighting has been focused on the battlefields and battered cities of Ukraine, while life continued largely as normal for millions across the border. But Tuesday’s drone assault — the first on civilian areas of Moscow since the war began — brought the reality of the conflict from the front lines to the Russian capital.
While President Vladimir Putin and his officials sought to play down the attack, which caused minor damage, some Moscow residents told NBC News it had left them shaken and concerned that more may be on the horizon. Influential pro-war voices also renewed their criticism of the Kremlin, following a wave of incidents that have exposed the country’s defenses and signaled the war was increasingly being waged deep inside Russia.
“I don’t feel safe,” said Anatoly, who did not want his last name used.
The war has made gauging public opinion in Russia difficult, with many people afraid to speak their minds or reveal their last names, especially to the foreign media, amid a fierce crackdown on dissent and any criticism of what the Kremlin calls its “special military operation” in Ukraine.
The daughter of South Africa’s former leader has been accused of luring men to fight for Russia. Here’s what we know
Who is Zuma-Sambudla, and what is she accused of?
Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, 43, is one of nearly two dozen children of the former South African leader. She has been a strong supporter of Russian President Vladimir Putin and has expressed admiration for him on social media.
Last week, Zuma-Sambudla resigned from her position in parliament, where she represented the uMkhonto weSizwe Party — led by her father — following a criminal complaint filed against her by her older half-sister, Nkosazana Zuma-Mncube.
This complaint came after the South African government began investigating how 17 citizens became trapped in the war-torn Donbas region of Ukraine. The government was alerted to the men’s plight after they made distress calls asking to return home.
Authorities revealed last month that the men were “lured to join mercenary forces involved in the Ukraine-Russia war under the pretext of lucrative employment contracts.”
Zuma-Mncube alleged that the actions of Zuma-Sambudla and two other individuals contributed to the men’s situation. Zuma-Sambudla has not publicly responded to the accusations.
Under South African law, it is illegal to serve in a foreign military without government approval.
The Democratic Alliance, South Africa’s second-largest political party, has also filed criminal charges against Zuma-Sambudla after discussions with the families of the trapped men.
Zuma-Sambudla already faces separate charges of incitement to commit terrorism and public violence, according to prosecutors, for allegedly inciting violence on social media during riots that resulted in more than 300 deaths following her father’s imprisonment for contempt of court charges in 2021. Zuma was released in 2023. Zuma-Sambudla has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Lawmaker Chris Hattingh, a Democratic Alliance spokesperson on defense and military veterans, shared his findings with the national broadcaster SABC.
“I have been in contact with families, and everybody tells exactly the same story,” he said, explaining that the men “were totally misled” and “lured into Russia for personal development” under the guise of “security training.”
When they arrived in Russia, Hattingh continued, “Their clothes and passports were allegedly burned, their phones were taken away gradually, and then finally, there’s no contact with them anymore.”
In her defense, Zuma-Sambudla said she did not intend to recruit South Africans to serve as mercenaries in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
In an affidavit presented to the police and referenced by the local newspaper, Daily News, she stated that she had been misled by someone named “Khoza,” who contacted her on WhatsApp, claiming to be a South African citizen living in Russia with connections to a “legitimate paramilitary training program” that did not involve combat.
Zuma-Sambudla revealed that she enlisted and participated in the paramilitary training in Russia for a month and was not exposed to any combat situations, according to the newspaper. She then recommended 22 other people, including her relatives, to enroll in the program. Of the 22 people who initially traveled, 17 South Africans are now reportedly in north Donetsk as part of Russian forces.
“Based on my own experience, I believed that the program was lawful and safe. But I, too, was manipulated and used to create a false impression of legitimacy,” she was quoted as saying.
Zuma-Sambudla reportedly assured that she would fully cooperate with authorities.
The South African police announced that they are investigating whether “any criminality, including possible human trafficking, illegal recruitment, exploitation, or fraud, may have contributed to the movement of these individuals to the conflict zone.”
CNN has requested comments from Russia’s military and foreign ministry. In November, however, foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated at a press briefing that Russia had no information about the South African nationals and had not yet received any communication from the South African government regarding the matter.
“If there is a request of this kind from Pretoria, we will be ready to consider it in accordance with the existing procedure in the spirit of relations of strategic partnership existing between Russia and South Africa,” she said.
Russian authorities have previously denied pressuring foreigners to enlist in its military.
