 Convicted war criminal Lubanga announces new rebel group in east Congo A convicted war criminal based in Uganda has announced a new rebel movement intent on toppling the government in eastern Congo's Ituri province, creating another potential security threat in the war-scarred region, Reuters reported. The formation of the Convention for the Popular Revolution (CPR) by Thomas Lubanga, an Ituri native, comes as Congo's army faces an unprecedented advance by Rwandan-backed M23 rebels elsewhere in eastern Congo. The International Criminal Court secured its first conviction against Lubanga in 2012 on charges of recruiting child soldiers and sentenced him to 14 years in prison. He was released in 2020 and President Felix Tshisekedi appointed him to a task force to bring peace to Ituri. But in 2022 he was taken hostage for two months by a rebel group, which he blames on the government, and is now based in Uganda.

It's like being in a zoo - Tems on dealing with fame

The singer has likened being famous to what it must feel like to be an animal in a zoo.

She discussed her newfound fame in a newly released conversation with Kendrick Lamar for Interview magazine.

Admitting that she feels the pressure that comes with success, she stated that she deals with it by staying true to herself.

In her words, "When you become more known or seen, itā€™s very easy to get caught up in, ā€œWhat do people expect of me now?ā€ But for me, itā€™s like, ā€œWhat do I expect of myself now?ā€ Because youā€™re the one that has to live with yourself, the one that has to sleep with the decisions that you make. Trusting yourself is so key, and Iā€™m not going to stop trusting my guts just because people can see me now. Itā€™s like being in a zoo. The animals donā€™t change their behaviour just because youā€™re looking at them. Theyā€™re always going to be who they are. So why should I change?"

The Oscar-nominated singer also shared some advice that could be useful for artists, and fans alike. According to her, remembering why you started is the key to staying on the right path.

"Yeah, you have to remember how you felt when you started as an artist, to understand the reason youā€™re doing what youā€™re doing," the singer advised. "Yes, itā€™s to be seen, or to make a name for yourself, but beyond that, why are you doing it? Most of the time, itā€™s because you have a story to share, a message to give."

Tems has come a long way since she put out the For Broken Ears EP in 2020. She has since surpassed one billion streams on Spotify, appeared on the soundtrack to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and scored collaborations with artists like Drake and Beyonce.

She also co-wrote Rihanna's Lift Me Up, which went on to score an Oscar nomination. Tems is currently working on her debut album.
