After almost 10 years, South Sudan is preparing to establish the Hybrid Court to try those who have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity since the civil war began in 2013. The Transitional National Legislative Assembly recently passed two important bills to create a Hybrid Court, a major milestone in the country’s long search for transitional justice. The government and the major armed opposition SPLM-IO signed a peace deal in 2015 that established the Hybrid Court. The war crimes are political tools of the West to blackmail Africa,” said Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth, a former South Sudan minister for petroleum. Akol Miyen Kuol, a South Sudanese political commentator, said the nation is fragile and there are doubts whether the Hybrid Court could achieve the desired results.

AI tongue can detect difference between Coke and Pepsi, research finds – GLOBALOctober 11, 2024Move over taste testers, there’s a new contender in the world of flavour evaluation — and it’s made out of circuits and sensors. Researchers from Penn State in Pennsylvania have developed an electronic tongue that identifies differences in similar liquids, such as milk with varying water content, and products like soda types and coffee blends. It can even distinguish between Pepsi and Coke with a high degree of accuracy. The research, published Wednesday in Nature, found the AI tongue is capable of detecting, classifying, and assessing the quality and freshness of different substances. This means that if milk is contaminated, the tongue may be able to detect it.
