Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote is eyeing Kenya for a 650,000 barrels/day refinery in Mombasa, estimated at Sh2–Sh2.2 trillion.
He says Mombasa stands out due to its deep port and strong demand, while East Africa still imports all refined fuel.
The UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres will be in Nairobi, Kenya.

Beaucoup d'enthousiasme alors que j'arrive au Kenya, à la veille du sommet Africa Forward. Le sommet d'un partenariat renouvelé et gagnant-gagnant. À Nairobi, donnons-lui toute sa force ! Nous avons tant à faire ensemble.
Sabastian Sawe didn't break the 2-hour marathon barrier just because of the Adidas "supershoe." He's a damn good athlete. These East Africans all are.
I had to tell the whole world on CNN. Everyone be guided. Thanks for your attention to this matter!
Kenya's Sabastian Sawe wins the London Marathon in world record time, becoming the first athlete to run a marathon in under two hours. https://t.co/2ogIRtGK4j
HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE 🫨
Sabastian Sawe becomes the first person ever to break the 2-hour barrier in official race conditions, storming to a historic 1:59:30‼️
@KejelchaYomif, on his marathon debut, also breaks 2 hours with a stunning 1:59:41 and @jacobkiplimo2 clocks 2:00:28, also faster than the previous world record 😤
Couldn't catch him! 🔥 Congratulations to Sabastian Sawe on his fastest marathon (male) at 1:59:30. He also beats Eliud Kipchoge’s fastest marathon distance #londonmarathon@LondonMarathon
Congratulations to Sabastian Sawe on an historic run, and to everyone taking part in the London Marathon today.
A huge effort from thousands of participants, volunteers and supporters from right across the country.
As we gear up for The Africa We Build Summit 2026. We’re proud to announce that H.E. Gen Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, President of the Republic of Uganda, will also be in attendance at TAWBS2026.
Why attend The Africa We Build Summit 2026?
Because Africa's infrastructure financing gap requires more than good intentions. It requires the right people in the right room, with the right data.
TAWBS2026 is where analysis becomes action and conversations become commitments.
Nairobi | 23-24 April 2026
