 Ugandan parliament authorises army deployment to Gaza Uganda’s parliament approved a motion authorising the government to deploy troops to Gaza as part of the International Stabilization Force (ISF). Defence and Veterans Affairs Minister Kiryowa Kiwanuka introduced the motion seeking parliamentary approval to deploy Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF) personnel following an invitation from the US. “Uganda has a strong army with capable organisational structures, which have enabled Uganda to successfully support peace operations in Somalia, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and various UN peacekeeping missions,” he said. Israel has approved the limited entry of forces from countries it considers friendly. Irreversible political process Some lawmakers warned that deploying the UPDF to Gaza could raise diplomatic concerns because Uganda and Palestine are members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

 Blackout As Nigeria’s National Grid Collapses Again


Nigeria was plunged into darkness on Wednesday afternoon after yet another collapse of the national electricity grid.


An update from the official monitoring handle showed that as of 12:25 PM, power distribution had dropped drastically across the country. Abuja DisCo was receiving 20MW, Benin DisCo 10MW, Ibadan DisCo 20MW, while Eko, Enugu, Ikeja, Jos, Kaduna, Kano, Port Harcourt, and Yola DisCos all recorded zero supply.


This latest collapse comes just months after a major outage in March, which left many parts of the country, including Lagos, without electricity. That incident occurred only days after the federal government announced what it described as a “historic rise” in power generation to 6,000MW.


However, by 2:00 PM on Wednesday, power output had crashed below 1,000MW, down from about 4,000MW generated earlier in the day. The peak recorded generation was 5,284MW.


Confirming the disruption, the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC) informed its customers in a notice:

“Dear esteemed customer, please be informed that we experienced a system outage today, 07/03/2025, at 14:00hrs, affecting supply within our network.”
