Kenya, Ethiopia, Nigeria Early African Winners as They Harvest Windfall from the Misery of US–Israel vs Iran War
As the world reels from the escalation of the US–Israel vs Iran war that erupted on 28 February, the humanitarian suffering is profound. Yet in the realm of global commerce, a quieter upheaval is underway. With the Red Sea and Strait of Hormuz rendered near impassable – shipping traffic down by 90% – Africa has emerged as the world’s most vital logistics corridor.
•In KENYA, the once-forgotten LAMU PORT has roared to life. Long dismissed by critics as a white elephant, it has seen a 974% surge in volume. Ultra-large vessels, too deep for Mombasa and too exposed for Gulf waters, now dock at Lamu’s 18-metre natural depth.
•ETHIOPIA'S national carrier Ethiopian Airlines has seized the moment. With Dubai and Doha mostly paralysed by airspace risks from Iranian missile and droke strikes, Addis Ababa has become the continent’s primary air-bridge. Cargo revenue is up 14%. High-value goods – electronics, pharmaceuticals, perishables –are now routed through Bole International, bypassing the 40-day sea detour.
•NIGERIA is counting its crude. Brent prices hit $120 per barrel in March. Against a budget benchmark of $64.85, daily revenues have doubled. The government has stumbled into an unexpected multi-billion dollar fiscal cushion.
•DURBAN, South Africa’s main port, has shed its reputation for congestion. It is now clocking 28 crane moves per hour, processing thousands of ships rerouted around the Cape of Good Hope with a rare level of precision.
•MOROCCO'S Royal Air Maroc has moved swiftly. Ten new international routes –including Los Angeles and Beirut – have siphoned off transit passengers who once relied on Middle Eastern hubs. Casablanca traffic is up 12%.
•WALVIS BAY in Namibia has become the first reliable refuelling station for ships emerging from the South Atlantic. Bunkering demand is up 30%.
•The DANGOTE Petroleum Refinery has in Nigeria, is cashing in. In March, it issued an export tender for 84,000 metric tonnes of jet fuel and diesel. It is no longer just a domestic project – it is replacing Persian Gulf supplies for the continent.
•MOZAMBIQUE'S $20 billion LNG project has been fast-tracked. TotalEnergies resumed operations in early 2026. Over 4,000 workers are racing to meet an accelerated production date. Iranian gas is out. Mozambican gas is in.
•At Mozambique's PORT of MAPUTO, volumes grew by 16% in the weeks following the war’s outbreak. Chrome and coal exporters have abandoned northern routes in favour of the safer Indian Ocean–Cape corridor.
•MAURITIUS, ever shrewd, has leveraged its mid-ocean position into a 15% revenue increase. High-end logistics and emergency repair services are now its bread and butter.
But no doubt, the most intriguing twist is the Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) revolution in Lamu. Manufacturers are using RoRo ships – where vehicles are driven on and off via ramps – to offload thousands of cars. These are then ferried to the Gulf on small, low-risk boats to avoid the $200,000+ war risk insurance premiums slapped on large carriers entering the Strait of Hormuz.
To protect this windfall, Kenya and Ethiopia have launched joint military operations along the once-languishing Lamu Port–South Sudan–Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) corridor. This unprecedented coordination is designed to ensure that the new “safe harbour” of Lamu remains shielded from regional spillover.
And because the closure of the Strait of Hormuz marooned shipping containers, an emergency air-bridge has formed. Nairobi and Addis Ababa are now the primary transit points for consumer electronics flown from Asia to Europe—bypassing the the 17,700KM sea detour.
US leader Donald Trump despises Africa, once labelling its countries "sh*thole", but while many of them will be hit hard by rising energy and fertilisers from America and Israel's attack on Iran, several of them will get a bounty he would never have wished for them.

I've seen men destroy colleagues, spread rumors, block opportunities for others... and then wonder why their own blessings feel blocked. they're not blocked. They're just... waiting for the account to settle.

Makerere University School of Public Health, in partnership with the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and Tree Adoption Uganda, and with funding from the Wellcome Trust, has launched the WIN-WIN project (Win-Win in the Wetlands for Climate). The project aims to assess the climate, health, social, and economic impacts of wetland restoration in urban Uganda and to develop and evaluate evidence-based conservation interventions, with a focus on how wetlands affect the health of surrounding communities, including diseases such as bilharzia and malaria.

[SokoAnalyst @SokoAnalyst]

Did you know that the MP for Karachuonyo Constituency in Homa Bay County, Adipo Okuome, lost elections for 37 straight years—and still refused to quit?

From 1980, he ran for Parliament again and again. He lost every single time. No shortcuts. No sympathy votes. Just loss after loss. Then in 2017, at the age of 81, he finally won.

Today he is 87 years old, and he says he intends to serve until he is 94.

Now pause and reflect.

Some people quit at 40 because one business failed. One election didn’t go their way. One relationship broke. One plan stalled. One year was hard.
That’s not exhaustion. That’s impatience.

Life rewards stamina, not speed. Consistency outlives talent. Endurance humiliates luck.
So stand up. Dust yourself off. Wake yourself up.

And if necessary—give yourself two hot slaps and get back in the game.

Because quitting early is the most expensive mistake you can make.

@DanielLutaaya But @DanielLutaaya also!
@Nawanyagaglori1 is not stigmatized. She is a leader and much aware of her role in controlling the spread of HIV/AIDS. The Prof @baryamureeba is only reminding her to protect the horny MPs.
It's you trying to gain from her status.

@iamrjknight What a pathetic lie and selective distortion of the Catholic Catechism. The Catechism of the Catholic Church in Paragraph 816 explicitly states that the fullness of salvation is found only through Christ and it is reinforced again in paragraphs 839- 848.

@MosesOtai1 @assempebwa I feel it always gets fogged at the execution. All those processes and procedures are in full consideration. With clear timelines before financiers release funds.
