 Kenyan lawyers boycott courts over alleged judicial corruption Kenyan lawyers staged a nationwide boycott of court proceedings on Wednesday to protest alleged judicial corruption and chronic delays. Cases in the East African nation take an average of two years to conclude, according to official records, with lawyers blaming graft and systemic inefficiencies. "The court boycott is going on in courts across the country, with many lawyers heeding the call," Charles Kanjama, the president of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), told reporters.

 Cuba begins emergency power restoration after second nationwide blackout in a week amid US oil restrictions

   

Cuba began early Sunday efforts to restore power after its electrical grid collapsed for the second time in a week, a setback the government linked to a U.S. oil blockade that has strained the island’s fragile energy infrastructure. The nationwide blackout began Saturday evening at 6:32 p.m. local time after a major power plant in Nuevitas, Camaguey province, went offline, leaving roughly 10 million residents without electricity.

Officials said microsystems—smaller, closed circuits—were established in all provinces to provide electricity for essential services such as hospitals, water systems, and food distribution. Gas-fired plants in Varadero and Boca de Jaruco were running, and power had reached the nearby Santa Cruz oil-fired facility. Residents in Havana reported crowded streets and widespread disruption, with cell service and internet largely unavailable. Cuba’s prime minister described the restoration effort as occurring under “very complex circumstances.” This blackout follows two others earlier in March, highlighting the chronic instability of the nation’s power grid amid ongoing U.S. sanctions and restrictions on Venezuelan oil supplies.
