Africa News Live Updates: From Rwanda's telecom trouble, Congo's oil row to South Africa's gun syndicate crackdown
July 29, 2025, 09:45:12 (IST) Whatsapp Facebook Twitter Experts call for AI skills development in Africa's education sector to boost economic growth A consensus is forming among experts for the urgent integration of artificial intelligence (AI) skills within Africa's education sector to foster economic growth and secure a competitive position in the global digital economy, Africanews says in a report. This call is driven by the African Union's continental digital strategy, the development of national AI policies in countries such as Rwanda and Kenya, and significant investment by global technology corporations in the region's tech hubs. The push for AI literacy places considerable pressure on governments to reform curricula and invest in digital infrastructure. For the continent's youth, it presents an opportunity for greater employability, while for local businesses, it is critical for innovation and global competition. Experts caution that successful implementation requires not only investment but also the development of robust ethical frameworks and AI solutions tailored to African contexts, addressing foundational challenges like internet access and electricity.

Another clean chit for Param Bir in 1.3cr extortion case
Mumbai: The CBI has filed a chargesheet against a serving deputy commissioner of police Akbar Pathan and retired assistant commissioner Siddharth Shinde, but excluded former city police commissioner IPS officer Param Bir Singh and retired ACP Sanjay Patil in a case of extorting money from builder Shyam Sunder Agrawal at the instance of business rival Sanjay Punamiya. This is the fourth of the five cases registered during the erstwhile MVA rule, where Singh has been excluded from criminal prosecution. The CBI said that "no prosecutable evidence revealing involvement of Param Bir Singh and Sanjay Patil has surfaced." The chargesheet also said that the investigation showed that Punamiya, despite being a private person, possessed confidential information, including call detail records (CDRs), correspondence between the state govt and the CBI, and top-secret documents of Rashmi Shukla (DGP), the then Commissioner of the State Intelligence Department Maharashtra. The chargesheet said, "The source of documents of correspondence between State of Maharashtra and CBI was Whatsapp. The analysis of Whatsapp chats of accused Sanjay Punamiya revealed that the source of this information was DCP Trimukhe." Previously, the CBI had filed chargesheets against police inspector Nandkumar Gopale, police inspector Asha Korke, Sanjay Punamiya and Sunil Jain in the same case. Agrawal and Punamiya had a long pending dispute over a land parcel at Gorai. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 Most Beautiful Women Ever Today's NYC Undo You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai According to the CBI, the accused police officers extorted around Rs 1.25 crore from Agrawal to avoid his arrest under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) and for ensuring his release from the jail. Through technical evidence and statements, CBI supported its case of alleged extortion executed via hawala involving Pathan, Gopale, and Korke. The chargesheet further includes statements from a cyber expert, Ishaan Sinha, who was earlier in controversy for preparing a report on a message on Telegram channel through which an outfit named Jaish-ul-Hind had claimed responsibility for placing the explosives-laden SUV near Antilia. Sinha, who provides cyber training to the policemen and is in good contacts of several senior IPS officers, told the CBI that he had made a spoof call to a number provided by Punamiya, ensuring that it appeared as though originating from Pakistan. Later, based on this call, Punamiya falsely claimed he received a threat call from Pakistan-based gangster Chhota Shakeel at the behest of Agrawal and he had filed a case against Agrawal at Juhu police station. In 2021, Agrawal had filed an FIR alleging the accused officers with Punamiya had extorted money and properties under the threat of lodging false MCOCA offences against him. He had named Param Bir in the case. Subsequently, on the petition of Param Bir, the Supreme Court transferred the probe to the CBI. The CBI chargesheet stated, DCP crime Akbar Pathan, in his office at Andheri, demanded Rs 50 lakh and a 2 BHK flat in Bhayander from Shubham Agrawal for not taking action against his uncle (Shyam Sundar Agrawal) in the presence of Punamiya.
