In a recent high-stakes meeting at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy engaged in a heated exchange over the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and a proposed minerals deal. The discussion escalated when President Trump accused President Zelenskyy of being unprepared for peace negotiations and showing disrespect toward the United States. Vice President JD Vance also criticized Zelenskyy's approach, leading to a contentious atmosphere. At one point, President Trump warned Zelenskyy that he was "gambling with World War III." The meeting concluded abruptly, with a planned press conference being canceled. The fallout from this encounter has elicited strong reactions from political figures worldwide. U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham called for President Zelenskyy's resignation or a significant change in his approach, condemning his conduct as harmful to U.S.-Ukrainian relations. In contrast, European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and the EU's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, expressed solidarity with Zelenskyy, reaffirming their support for Ukraine against Russian aggression. This contentious meeting has raised concerns about the future of U.S. support for Ukraine and the broader implications for international relations amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.

*Narc Kenya Rebrands to People's Liberation Party (PLP) in a Bold Political Shift* *By Crown Media East Africa* Nairobi, Kenya – February 28, 2025 In a historic political move, Narc Kenya has officially rebranded to the People’s Liberation Party (PLP), marking a significant shift in Kenya’s political landscape. The launch event, held today in Nairobi, was led by party leader Martha Karua, who emphasized that the transformation reflects the party’s renewed commitment to democracy, accountability, and fairness. The newly unveiled PLP has introduced a term-limit for party leadership, a groundbreaking policy aimed at ensuring fresh, dynamic, and people-centered governance. This move is widely seen as a direct response to Kenya’s long-standing challenges of political stagnation and entrenched leadership. > “We are ushering in a new era of leadership—one that is accountable and truly representative of the aspirations of the Kenyan people,” said Martha Karua at the launch. “By introducing a term limit, we are ensuring that power remains in the hands of the people, not a select few.” A New Identity for a New Era The rebranding comes with significant changes, including: New Party Colors: Lilac, purple, and white, symbolizing unity, transformation, and integrity. New Party Symbol: A purple rose, representing resilience and renewal. New Slogan: “Unite, Liberate”, replacing the previous “One Kenya, One Nation”. The PLP’s leadership believes these changes will resonate with Kenya’s younger generation, particularly Generation Z, who have increasingly demanded political accountability and inclusivity. Political Implications The transition from Narc Kenya to PLP is expected to shake up Kenya’s political dynamics, especially as the country gears up for the 2027 general elections. Political analysts suggest that PLP could position itself as a progressive alternative to traditional political parties, attracting voters seeking genuine reforms. With Martha Karua at the helm, the People’s Liberation Party aims to challenge the status quo and advocate for policies that empower citizens and promote good governance. As the political landscape evolves, the key question remains: Will PLP redefine Kenya’s political future, or will it face the same hurdles that have hindered past reformist movements? Crown Media East Africa will keep you updated on this developing story.

Uganda Moves to Subject Civilians to Military Law in Certain Cases Kampala – Civilians in Uganda could soon be subjected to military law under proposed amendments that broaden the scope of military jurisdiction beyond the armed forces. According to the amendments, any civilian found in unlawful possession of arms, ammunition, or military equipment exclusively designated for the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) will be subjected to military law. Additionally, the proposed changes state that individuals who aid or abet someone under military law in committing offenses such as murder, aggravated robbery, kidnapping with intent to murder, or treason will also fall under military jurisdiction. The amendments further stipulate that anyone who, without authorization, possesses, sells, or wears the national army's uniform will be subjected to military law. Those accused of such offenses will be treated as militants of the rank of private unless they hold a certificate from a commanding officer granting them a specific rank. This certificate remains revocable at the officer's discretion. For individuals who were previously under military law but ceased to be, the amendments propose that they retain their last held rank for the purpose of trial. The proposed amendments have sparked debate on their implications for civilian rights and the justice system. Critics argue that subjecting civilians to military law could undermine constitutional protections, while supporters say it is necessary to safeguard national security and prevent the misuse of military assets. The amendments are yet to be debated and passed by Parliament. By : The crown media East Africa

*President m7 Calls for Swift Trial of Besigye, Rejects Calls for Forgiveness* President Yoweri Museveni has urged the judiciary to expedite the trial of opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye, arguing that public focus should be on the reasons for his arrest rather than his detention. On the need for a quick trial: "The answer to that is a quick trial so that facts come out. Otherwise, you are promoting insecurity, which is very dangerous for the country." On accountability over reconciliation: "We are not for vengeance, but the danger of the killers must be removed." On judicial delays: "Who slowed down the trial process? It is the Courts that pointed out some gaps in the Military Courts and ordered the transfer of the cases to Civilian Courts." On Besigye’s reluctance to push for trial: "If you are innocent, why not demand a quick trial to prove your innocence and expose those who are ‘persecuting’ you, instead of insisting on bail and forgiveness, as if serious crime is entitled to holidays?" On Besigye’s health and hunger strike: "How can you be accused of serious crimes and then resort to a hunger strike to generate sympathy for bail?" Museveni reaffirmed that the military court had been prepared to proceed with the case and called on Ugandans to allow the civilian court process to take its course.
