Tanzania threatens to publish 'Gay List'

Tanzanian Govt. on Saturday, February 18, 2017, announced plans to publish a list of gay people allegedly selling sex online. This comes just days after the government shut down dozens of AIDS clinics accused of promoting homosexuality. Deputy health minister, Hamisi Kigwangalla, wrote on Twitter that his government was investigating the 'homosexuality syndicate' and would arrest and prosecute those involved in the gay sex business.'I will publish a list of gay people selling their bodies online, those who think this campaign is a joke, are wrong.'The government has long arms and it will quietly arrest all those involved. Once arrested, they will help us find others.' Kigwangalla wrote.Under the Tanzanian penal code, sex between two males is highly punishable, ranging from 30 years to life imprisonment.He has since come under fire on Twitter by Gay and pro-gay commenters, but he maintained his stance.

Donald Trump clarifies 'Sweden' remark, says he was referring to Fox News report not terror attack

US President Donald Trump came under fire when he insinuated that there was a terror attack in Sweden on Friday. Trump said at a campaign-style rally Saturday outside Melbourne, Florida.:“We’ve got to keep our country safe. You look at what’s happening in Germany, you look at what’s happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this?”Trump’s Sweden comment was questioned by Swedish officials, the news media and Hillary Clinton's daughter, Chelsea Clinton.“Unclear to us what President Trump was referring to, have asked US officials for explanation,” the Swedish embassy in Washington tweeted.Trump then clarified what he meant by tweeting:What he referred to was a segment on Friday night's edition of "Tucker Carlson Tonight" 
which featured an interview withdocumentary filmmaker Ami Horowitz about a surge in violentcrime in Sweden. Which saw the filmmaker say that they  have traced the crime increase in Sweden to a surge in the number of refugees entering from Africa,   Asia and the Middle East.
Even though the president never mentioned any terror attack in Sweden the fact that he mentioned Sweden along with Germany resulted in Trump critics saying he had mistakenly referred to a terror attack.  Among the recent terror attacks in Germany was a December2016 incident in which a terrorist drove a truck through a Christmas market in Berlin, killing 12 people and injuring roughly 50 others. The Islamic State terror group took responsibility for the attack.Even after Trump clarified what he meant on Twitter, the Swedish embassy responded by tweeting:

Osinbajo turns down new Vice President's official residence built by GEJ's administration, says Aguda house is good for him

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has turned down the new Vice Presidential official residence built by GEJ's administration. A statement by the Senior Special Assistant  to the Vice President on Media & Publicity, Laolu Akande, says neither Osinbajo nor this present administration, made any budget for the construction of a new residence for him. According to Osinbajo, the old Vice Presidential house known as Aguda house, is still good for him.He said in time, the federal governmnt will decide what to do with the 14 buildings on the site of the new Vice Presidential residence. Read the press statement from the Presidency."For the umpteenth time, we like to clarify that the proposedplan of the immediate past administration to build a new official residence for the occupant of the Office of the Vice President, including the controversial gatehouse preceded this administration.The project which started in 2010, was initiated and funded by the immediate past administration, but had never featured in the two budget proposals of the Buhari administration: neither in the 2016 nor the 2017 spending plans.Any suggestion therefore that this project benefits our administration or that it reflects our spending style or preferences is not only misleading but blatantly false. Besides, the incumbent Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has said publicly that he considers Aguda House, which he currently occupies, a befitting official residence for the Vice President and sufficient for his needs.While the project is now about 85% complete, the Federal Government, in the circumstances, will decide at the appropriate time what is the best use for the 14 buildings already on the project site."
