 Rwanda to lift defensive measures if Congo meets Washington peace accord obligations: Kagame Rwanda is ready to lift its “defensive measures” related to the conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo if Kinshasa fulfills its obligations under the Washington peace accord, President Paul Kagame said.

 Dear @officialsarahmartins  I hope you are well. My attention has been drawn to your recent activity of cooking and distributing food on the streets of Lagos. While we acknowledge and appreciate the spirit of charity and compassion behind what you are trying to do, carrying out such activities on public roads, walkways or medians is not permitted under Lagos environmental and public order regulations. Cooking or trading on public infrastructure poses safety, sanitation and traffic concerns.  You were previously cautioned about this same issue last year due to the understanding of it’s philanthropic intention and pleas. I would strongly advise that you desist from carrying out street cooking or similar activities in public spaces in Lagos in order to avoid apprehension and prosecution.  If you wish to continue your charitable outreach, it should be done through proper channels and in approved locations so that your efforts can support vulnerable people without violat...
