A video showing medical staff shielding their patient as a powerful earthquake struck southern Japan during surgery has gone viral.
Kumamoto General Hospital said the operation was completed safely, and the hospital has since resumed outpatient services.
As Ethiopia builds Africa's largest airport, the US expresses interest in joining the $12.5 billion project, which has attracted so much global attention. Here's why.
Youth of Africa have the potential to help a rebirth of an enabling environment for economic empowerment.
We can do it collectively guided by human centeredness.

Documentary | Zero Tariffs, Infinite Opportunities — The Zero-Tariff Journey of Kenyan Avocados🥑 to China
Two months after the implementation of China's zero-tariff treatment, more and more Kenyan avocados are entering the Chinese market and reaching households across the country.
This short documentary offers an in-depth look at the positive impact of the zero-tariff treatment on Kenyan avocado farmers, the upgrading of local specialty industries, and the improvement of community livelihoods.
It also explores how this policy dividend can be better leveraged to expand mutually beneficial cooperation between China and Kenya across a wider range of sectors, creating new opportunities for shared growth and development.
NAIROBI REIGNS in East Africa, but it's youth do Not. @ForeignOfficeKE should deliberately ensure that in conjunction with @moyasa_ke the youth are strategically positioned to reap from the diplomatic gains that Kenya records.

This video brought the whole of Africa to its knees. 😂😂
To my friends in Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Uganda, there's no coming back from this.

The foreign trips are necessary indeed. But how about including youth entrepreneurs in the delegations so that they are able to listen first hand, identify opportunities for business and immediately brainstorm on ways to tap into them?

Let's talk investment for a minute before the France vs Spain semi-final kicks off...
Our trips abroad are not about sightseeing; they are about presenting the strongest case for Kenya as the region's preferred investment hub.
We showcase the opportunities available in Kenya while exploring partnerships that increase exports, attract investment, and create jobs for our young people.
Two months ago, I joined H.E. President William Ruto on a visit to Kazakhstan, where we held a business forum and witnessed the signing of significant trade agreements and MoUs.
This afternoon, I met a high-level delegation of investors from Kazakhstan who are in Kenya to cement partnerships in mining, transport and logistics, as well as the tea and coffee sectors.
Kazakhstan is rich in minerals and has extensive expertise in mineral exploration and processing. The investors are keen to establish a logistics hub at the Port of Mombasa to reduce cargo costs and transit time.
They are also exploring direct cargo flights to Astana and, most importantly, are interested in sourcing more Kenyan tea and coffee.
We agreed to connect them with local tea and coffee suppliers while advancing discussions on port logistics and mining. They are ready for business, and we are ready to partner for the prosperity of our nation. These engagements will create jobs, unlock new opportunities for our businesses, and grow our economy.
The delegation was led by Nariman Absametov, CEO of Tau-Ken Samruk, a state-owned mining company, and H.E. Barlybay Sadykov, Kazakhstan's Ambassador to Kenya.
Now, back to football... may the best team win. (Mnajua na-support nani? 😉⚽)

Our director of agriculture, food security, and environmental sustainability, @EstherineF writes for @devex on why the Kampala Declaration needs more than youth consultation.
Only 10 of 55 countries met Malabo’s youth participation targets. She says this time young people need real influence over decisions and budgets, not just a seat at the table.

🔹The 26th EAC MSMEs Trade Fair will take place in Kigali, Rwanda, from 30 October to 8 November 2026.
The Trade Fair will spotlight the leather and horticulture value chains to accelerate industrial growth, job creation and import substitution, while remaining open to participation from all sectors across the region.
Leather presents major opportunity, with regional demand rising from 130 million pairs in 2017 to nearly 290 million in 2024, against local production of about 17 million pairs, and projected demand of 385 million by 2030. Horticulture remains a key pillar for food security, incomes and exports, with agriculture contributing over 25% of EAC GDP.

Operationalizing County Aggregation and Industrial Parks (CAIPs) should not wait until construction is complete.
Investor attraction and market linkages must begin early so that by the time the infrastructure is ready, industries, jobs, and opportunities are already taking shape.
CAIPs remain critical in driving value addition, industrialization, job creation, and positioning counties as competitive investment destinations.
Today, I met Murang’a Governor H.E. @HonKangata to discuss collaboration between the County Government and the
@MITIKenya in attracting investors to the Murang’a Industrial Park.
The park, currently at 55% occupancy, has been strategically designed into 13 specialized zones covering healthcare, manufacturing, education, sports, innovation, housing, and critical infrastructure.
A key highlight is the 75-acre Murang’a Medicity dedicated to healthcare investment opportunities including expansion of Kenneth Matiba Hospital, pharmaceutical and medical manufacturing, rehabilitation centres, nursing homes, and other health-related facilities.
The 276-acre Special Economic Zone (SEZ) is earmarked for light and heavy industries, particularly agro-processing to support Murang’a farmers in tea, coffee, avocado, maize, and macadamia value chains. Investors will enjoy incentives similar to those available in EPZs, creating a favourable environment for manufacturing and export-oriented industries.
The park also has land set aside for educational institutions from primary to tertiary level, housing projects including high-rise apartments for workers, affordable housing under the ongoing national programme, and major infrastructure including roads, internet, water, sewerage, and power systems, presenting strong joint venture opportunities.
The County Government is seeking support in linking the project with international investors and establishment of a KPLC substation to guarantee reliable power supply for industrial operations.
