MONDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2026

The Government is building an administration block and a 580 bed capacity hostel at the Kinangop Campus of the Kenya Medical Training Centre (KMTC) at a cost of 232 million shillings.

Nationally, the housing fund has been deployed to build 180,000 bed capacity hostel accomodation for University and Tertiary Institutions including KMTC, Technical Training Instutes (TTIs) as well as Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs).

Upgrade of hostels, workshops and lecture spaces, part of the reforms to improve the learning conditions, is being supplemented by the expansion of government funding beyond university students, now includes KMTC, TTI and TTC students.

There is no established evidence that the deceased patient or his family knew he had Ebola. An imported case does not mean the family knowingly brought an Ebola patient into Kenya.

First and foremost, WHO reports that he had been unwell for about a month and had received treatment at several hospitals in DRC. His reported care included facilities in Bondo and Kisangani before he travelled to Kenya via Uganda. Whether those hospitals tested him for Ebola is not publicly established. Had he tested positive, isolation would have been expected.

Crucially, WHO considers it likely that his original illness was something else and that he acquired Ebola later while seeking care. Being sick for a month does not mean he had Ebola for a month.

The family bringing him to Kenya was consistent with seeking further treatment for an illness that had persisted despite medical care.

According to reporting of Africa CDC’s briefing, he travelled through Beni and crossed into Uganda through Kasindi on 1 October, before flying from Entebbe to Nairobi on 3 October. Uganda reported a normal temperature at Entebbe, and he also passed screening in Nairobi. A relative took him directly to Nairobi Hospital, where he was isolated. He tested positive on 5 October and died that night.

Passing screening does not rule out infection. The subsequent infections among relatives and healthcare workers show that transmission occurred, but cannot establish exactly when he acquired Ebola or whether he was at peak infectiousness on arrival.

At this point, the focus should be on how an unwell traveller from an outbreak-affected country passed successive screening points, and how healthcare workers became infected despite reported isolation. What precautions were taken from the outset, and where did they fall short?

Those questions demand answers.

Publicly vilifying a bereaved family, some of whose members are now battling the same disease, does nothing to answer them or protect the public.

Some stories only get better with time.

Two years ago, we took you behind the scenes of the viral photo of Lionel Messi and a baby Lamine Yamal with his mom. This iconic image was captured for a fundraising calendar supporting UNICEF and the FCB Foundation.

Now, this story has a new chapter. Last month, Lamine Yamal became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, joining Lionel Messi, who was served in this role since 2010.

This weekend, they'll face each other in the FIFA World Cup final, but when it comes to championing children's rights, they're on the same team.

Watch the video and revisit the origins of this incredible image.

[Archaeo - Histories @archeohistories]

In 1929, in southeastern Nigeria, British colonial officials made a mistake they did not expect to survive quietly: they threatened to count Igbo women for taxation.

The women understood exactly what that meant. Men had already been taxed under British rule. If women were counted too, more control, more economic punishment, and more interference would follow. But these women were not isolated villagers with no power. Long before colonial rule arrived, Igbo women already had deeply organized political networks, market systems, and collective forms of resistance.

And when they decided to fight back, they did not march the way Europeans expected.

Thousands of women traveled across towns and villages carrying palm leaves, singing war songs, beating on doors, dancing, mocking officials publicly, and surrounding colonial buildings for days. They used a traditional practice sometimes called “sitting on a man” — a powerful form of collective protest where women shamed corrupt leaders through relentless noise, ridicule, chants, and public humiliation.

British officials were stunned by the scale of it.

Women flooded roads and courtyards faster than messages could travel. Some demonstrations drew thousands at a time. Colonial reports described officials trapped inside buildings while crowds of women sang outside through the night.

The British called it the “Aba Women’s Riots.”

But it was not a riot.

It was one of the largest anti-colonial uprisings led by women in African history.

The protests spread across huge parts of southeastern Nigeria and terrified colonial authorities so badly that troops were eventually sent in. At least 50 women were killed by colonial gunfire. Many more were wounded.

But the uprising worked.

The British abandoned many of the proposed taxation plans and were forced to restructure parts of their colonial administration. The women had proven something dangerous: they could organize without permission, without weapons, and without fear.
