A French court has decided to lower the life sentence of Kunti Kamara, a former rebel from Liberia, to 30 years in prison for his involvement in Liberia’s civil war that took place three decades ago. Kamara had been found guilty of crimes against humanity and violence against civilians during his first trial in 2022 after being arrested in France and was initially sentenced to life in prison. However, he appealed against the ruling. Despite the reduction in his sentence on Wednesday by the Paris criminal court, Kamara was once again convicted of war crimes. The prosecution had pushed for the court to uphold his original life sentence. Kamara had been a regional commander for a faction of the United Liberation Movement of Liberia for Democracy that had fought against the National Patriotic Front led by former President Charles Taylor. The civil war that raged on between 1989 and 2003 resulted in the deaths of over 250,000 people. The decision by the French court highlights the continued efforts to bring perpetrators of war crimes to justice, even decades after the atrocities took place.

Four teenage girls in Nigeria have created a groundbreaking invention that could potentially save lives and provide sustainable energy sources for households. Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele Abiola, Faleke Oluwatoyin, and Bello Eniola showcased their innovative urine-powered generator at the Maker Faire Africa event in Lagos. The idea behind using urine as fuel for electricity production was not new, but these girls found a practical way to put this idea into action. The inspiration for this invention came after Adebola read about a tragic incident where a family died from carbon monoxide poisoning while using a traditional generator. The girls quickly formed a team they called the “Fantastic Four” and began working with their science teacher to bring their idea to life. Through experimenting with different materials, they eventually discovered that urine was an ideal source of raw material for generating power. Despite facing challenges along the way, the Fantastic Four persisted in perfecting their invention. Their hard work paid off when they successfully showcased their urine-powered generator at the Maker Faire Africa in 2012, gaining national and international recognition. The Lagos State government even expressed interest in funding further development of the generator for household use. The girls credited their school, Doregos Private Academy, for supporting them financially and providing transportation and encouragement to pursue their invention. The urine-powered generator created by these Nigerian teen girls has the potential to revolutionize energy production and save lives. Their determination and innovation serve as an inspiration to young inventors around the world.
