 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London. Harrison O’Neill Tiernan, 23, from Austin, was charged with cannabis trafficking. He was traveling to Heathrow Airport and had checked two suitcases for his British Airways flight. Inspectors discovered 65 vacuum-sealed packages containing a green, leafy substance later confirmed to be marijuana. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers stopped Tiernan while he attempted to board the flight, and he acknowledged that the bags were his. Authorities noted the inspections were part of broader efforts at the airport due to high outbound narcotics activity. In total, Tiernan was carrying 34.01 kilograms, or 74.98 pounds, of marijuana. Homeland Security initially declined the case because the amount did not meet the federal threshold, a...

 Rwanda promises to sign DRC peace deal in US in June


Rwanda's foreign minister says a final peace deal to end a crisis gripping the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo would be signed in mid-June in Washington, AFP reported.


M23 fighters, who UN experts and the United States say have received military support from Rwanda, have made rapid advances in the eastern DRC since January, seizing key cities and vast areas of territory in fighting that has killed thousands.


Last month, the DRC and Rwanda agreed at talks in the United States to reach a draft peace deal by May 2, raising hopes of an end to the crisis sparked by the M23's lightning offensive.


It raises questions about the US mineral interests in the region given the peace deal is tied to mineral deals with Washington.


Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe told AFP news agency there was still no agreement on the content of the deal but the next steps would involve "consolidation of the contributions of the parties into a single text".


This would be followed by the "finalisation of the draft peace agreement by foreign ministers in a meeting to take place in Washington during the third week of May".


The process was expected to lead to "the signing of the agreement mid-June at the White House", Nduhungirehe said.


It comes a day after US special envoy for Africa Massad Boulos said on X that he had received "draft text on a peace proposal" by the DRC and Rwanda.


Previous ceasefires broken


"This is an important step toward fulfilling the commitments made in the Declaration of Principles," said Boulos, who is father-in-law to US President Donald Trump's daughter Tiffany.


Last month, Boulos visited both countries and called for Rwanda to halt support to the M23 and pull out troops.


Rwanda has denied military support for the M23 but says its security has long been threatened by armed groups in eastern DRC, notably the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda created by former Hutu leaders linked to the 1994 Rwandan genocide.


Since its 2021 resurgence, the M23 has seized swathes of the eastern DRC, displacing hundreds of thousands of Congolese and triggering a widespread humanitarian crisis.


Multiple ceasefires have been made and broken in the last four years.
