By DEB RIECHMANN and MATTHEW LEE Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump announced Friday that Sudan will start to normalize ties with Israel, making it the third Arab state to do so as part of U.S.-brokered deals in the run-up to Election Day. The deal, which would deepen Sudan's engagement with the West, follows Trump's conditional agreement this week to remove the North African nation from the list of state sponsors of terrorism if it pays compensation to American victims of terror attacks. It also delivers a foreign policy achievement for Trump just days before the U.S. election […]

South African police on Monday arrested five suspects over the 2014 murder of national football captain Senzo Meyiwa, a major breakthrough in a case that stunned the crime-ridden nation.
The 27-year-old goalkeeper and national squad captain was gunned down at the home of his pop-star girlfriend Kelly Khumalo, southeast of Johannesburg during the evening of October 26, 2014.
Until now police had failed to find the killers after they reportedly escaped on foot, sparking accusations of incompetence.
A newly-appointed cold case unit took over the sluggish investigation in 2018, gathering evidence that allowed police to make a first string of arrests exactly six years after Meyiwa's murder.
\"The first five suspects have been arrested... this morning,\" police minister Bheki Cele told reporters on Monday.
\"Investigations are still ongoing and more arrests cannot be ruled out,\" he added, lauding the cold-case team for their \"tireless\" work.
National police commissioner Khehla Sitole said one of the detainees was \"the key suspect suspected of having pulled the trigger\".
Sitole explained that key ballistic evidence emerged when investigators found the firearm used to shoot Meyiwa and linked it back to the crime scene.
\"We have a concrete case this time because it is backed by evidence,\" he said, noting that the \"cracking of the case\" had merely coincided with the murder's anniversary.
The five suspects are scheduled to be formally charged in court on Tuesday.
A South African lobby group representing the Meyiwa family praised the arrests and said investigators now had sufficient evidence to show the murder had been pre-meditated.
\"We now know it wasn't a robbery went wrong, but in fact an assassination,\" the head of AfriForum's private prosecution unit Gerrie Nel said in a statement.
\"The challenge now is to bring the mastermind behind the murder to justice,\" said Nel, the former state prosecutor who led the case against Paralympian Oscar Pistorius and has a reputation of winning high-profile cases.
Meyiwa was captain and goalkeeper of both the Bafana Bafana national team and top club Orlando Pirates.
Cele deplored the \"immeasurable pain\" suffered by the sport icon's family and fans, and vowed to \"ensure justice\".
Meyiwa's brother Sifiso Meyiwa welcomed the arrests and hoped more would follow.
\"We remain anxious that the mastermind was not arrested,\" he said in a statement.

Hundreds attended a rally by Seif Sharif Hamad of the opposition Alliance for Change and Transparency, ahead of Tanzania's general election on Wednesday.
Hamad is vying for the presidency of Zanzibar, a semi-autonmous archipelago ruled by Dar-es-salaam.

Nassor Ahmed Mazrui was allegedly abducted by unknown people who held him captive for five hours.
The opposition is hoping to unseat president John Magufuli, who since coming to power in 2015, has stifled political and civil liberties according to activists.
\"Life is tough and the union is really crushing us, they don’t give any right to Zanzibarians, they only break us Zanzibarians. It prevents Zanzibar from having a good life and [from] growing,\" said Sherif Moussa Faki, bus driver and opposition supporter.
The opposition, headed by Tundu Lissu- the Chadema presidential candidate, hopes to turn the anger of supporters like Faki into votes.
President Magufuli's Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party has dominated Tanzanian politics since independence.
Twenty seven (27) million people are eligible to vote on Wednesday.
Magufuli has promised to create jobs for Tanzania's youth by stepping up investment in infrastructure projects.
Lissu on the other hand has promised to tackle corruption, draft a new constitution and to deregulate business and foreign investment.
Both the opposition and ruling party camps have been holding big rallies without concerns for the pandemic. President Magufuli has said there's no virus in the East African country.

MISSISSIPPI, United States (AP) - The old civil rights worker was sure the struggle would be over by now. He'd fought so hard back in the '60s. He'd seen the wreckage of burned churches, and the injuries of people who had been beaten. He'd seen men in white hoods. At its worst, he'd mourned three young men who were fighting for black Mississippians to gain the right to vote, and who were kidnapped and executed on a country road just north of here.
