Kenya's Senate today launched the impeachment trial of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua after the embattled politician lost another court bid to stop the process. The war in Sudan has escalated in recent weeks, and the commander of the Rapid Support Forces has accused Egypt of helping the Sudanese army.
