The IARC estimates indicate that the risk of developing cancer before the age of 75 in Africa is 13.1%, while the risk of dying from cancer before that age is 8.6%. This high mortality burden reflects, among other challenges, late diagnosis and limited access to effective treatment.

More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.
Yesterday, our Ag. MD & CEO, George Kamal, alongside Jean-Christian Bergeron, Co-Managing Partner of Rubis and CEO of Rubis Énergie, signed an MoU to explore the development of Africa’s first dedicated Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) refinery in Kenya during the Africa Forward Summit at State House.
The proposed refinery will focus on producing lower-carbon aviation fuel from locally sourced waste materials including used cooking oil and vegetable oils, supporting the aviation industry’s long-term sustainability goals.
This partnership marks an important step in shaping more sustainable aviation solutions on the continent, while creating opportunities for local skills development, innovation, and cleaner energy production within the sector.

The facts are stubborn. President Ruto’s economic transformation cannot be denied:
Stanbic Bank Kenya PMI:
‘Kenya ends 2025 with robust private-sector growth, strong job creation, and easing supply constraints despite rising inflation pressures.’
These are some of the key infrastructure priorities for 2026 highlighted by President Ruto in his New Year Address, with many more to follow:
- Completion of the Talanta Sports Complex to be ready for hosting AFCON 2027
- Completion of the Bomas International Convention Centre as a premier venue for global conferences and events
- Construction of a modern, world-class airport at JKIA
- Fast-tracking the completion 6,000km of ongoing road projects nationwide, including the Rironi–Mau Summit road by mid-2027
- Commencement of the Naivasha–Narok–Bomet–Nyamira–Kisumu–Malaba Standard Gauge Railway corridor
-Launch of the Galana–Kulalu Dam and other dams to bring 2.5 million acres of land under irrigation countrywide.
- Construction of new highways across the country
⚡️For 100 years the United States has run a system that routes monetary expansion, policy support, and corporate power into the S&P 500.
So of course the longer you sit in that pipe, the less likely you are to show a negative nominal return.
Hidden variables that make the bars go down:
1. Fiat debasement
The chart is nominal. It does not ask whether your purchasing power is negative after 10 years. It only asks whether the number on the screen is higher. High inflation plus financial repression can make the bar look safe while your real life is poorer.
2.Survivorship bias baked into the index
The S&P 500 is a self-healing organism. Dead companies get removed. Winners get added at high weight. You are not holding the same 500 names for 100 years. You are holding a constantly re-optimized slice of US corporate power. That structural rebalancing hides the real risk of business failure.
3. Policy regime and the Fed put
Every major crisis in the sample has been met with some mix of rate cuts, QE, bailouts, and accounting rule changes that explicitly protect asset holders. That is not a law of nature. It is a political choice. The chart is a picture of that political choice.
4. Forced flows into equities
Retirement accounts, target date funds, passive ETFs, corporate buybacks. Trillions of dollars are auto-wired to buy US equities every month regardless of valuation. The system literally creates a permanent bid. Time in market is riding that plumbing.
5. Unique US century
The dataset is one country: no world wars on home soil, reserve currency status, cheap domestic energy, deep capital markets, legal protection of shareholders. Try this same chart in Japan from 1989 or in pre-euro Europe and the magic vanishes.
So the deeper answer is:
•Time is not the edge.
•The architecture that pushes capital, policy, and inflation into equities is the edge.
•If that architecture changes, the 10 year bar on this chart becomes a piece of financial fan fiction.
Bottom line:
People look at this and think: just wait longer and risk disappears.
What really disappears is purchasing power while a protected asset class soaks up inflation and bailout flows.
The bars go down because the system is designed to float equities, not because markets are kind.
