Quick Glance: Africa Live: Court Sentences Former Liberian Rebel Leader to 30 Years - BBC News
- Police in Togo dispersed an opposition press conference convened to discuss a controversial constitutional reform. Concerns exist that shifting from a presidential to a parliamentary system could lead to the long-standing President, Faure Gnassingbe, staying in power indefinitely.
- Uganda's President, Yoweri Museveni, formally inaugurated the nation's inaugural interest-free commercial Islamic bank. This financial institution is expected to play a substantial role in advancing the country's financial sector.

Quick Glance: Impact of Jacob Zuma's Election Exclusion on South Africa's Vote
- The exclusion of former President Jacob Zuma from the elections in May is heightening political tensions in South Africa as the country gears up for what is anticipated to be a fiercely competitive electoral battle.
- Zuma's opposition to the ANC challenges his previous party's dominance and might result in the ANC falling below the 50% vote mark for the first time.
- While this may dampen the MK's momentum, the 2021 protests indicate that barring him from the election could rally his loyal supporters.
- Following the announcement, the MK announced plans to challenge the decision. A potential court ruling in favor of Zuma's candidacy could revive his political prospects and present a significant obstacle to the ANC during a period of declining popularity.

Stranded Norwegian Cruise Lines passengers missed ship 'by more than an hour,' company claims
nypost.com/2024/04/03/us-news/stranded-norwegian-cruise-lines-passengers-missed-ship-by-more-than-an-hour-company-reveals/
Quick Glance: Passengers Stranded: Drama Unfolds After Cruise Leaves Without Them
- Eight passengers were left stranded on the African island of São Tomé and Príncipe after their ship departed without them as they were late to return from a private tour.
- The group of eight tourists, six from the U.S. and two from Australia, were abandoned by the Norwegian Dawn cruise ship after failing to make it back on time, leading them to make their own travel arrangements to catch up with the ship.
- Due to bad weather and tidal restrictions preventing the ship from docking in Banjul, Gambia, the guests had to travel through seven countries in 48 hours to rejoin the ship in Dakar, Senegal.
- A silver lining of the ordeal was the encounter with another stranded passenger who was left behind on the island for medical reasons and was assisted by the other tourists to safely return home.
