Whereas it’s the norm for the African cultures to mourn during the burial, today during the burial of Onapito, it's dancing, singing and feasting.

We are celebrating the works of our mustard seed whose fruits were tested by all of us,” remarked Joyce Nyeko, the elder sister of Onapito. A number of traditional troupe performances wiped away the tears of Iteso through their...

A local official told journalists that the car had been navigating with Google Maps at the time of the crash, while a family member of one of the victims similarly blamed the U.S. company’s web app f...
