Egypt started the African Space Agency at its Space City in Cairo. The country worked hard to create this agency, which matches the African Union's plans. Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said it will help African nations work together on peaceful space activities. Countries can share knowledge, build skills, and speak as one voice at international meetings. The agency will partner with research groups, universities, and other space organizations worldwide.
Egyptian Space Agency leader Sherif Sedky called this a major achievement for Africa. He believes the agency will inspire new ideas and teamwork across the continent. A Chinese satellite company representative named Huan Yiheng thinks this creates good business opportunities. His...
Martha Karua plans to run for president in 2027. She believes Kenya needs a woman leader because men have failed to unite the country since its independence. She told people in Isiolo that as president, she would bring Kenyans together just like mothers unite their families. Karua compared national leadership to how mothers make sure all children eat, even when food is scarce. She asked voters to support her People's Liberation Party next time.
Karua made clear she will not accept another running mate position after serving as Raila Odinga's deputy candidate in 2022. She stated this firmly during a Hot 96 interview last March. If she does not become the main candidate, she prefers supporting someone else rather than being...
Police caught three people making illegal alcohol in Kawangware's Congo area on Monday morning. They found 2,000 liters of chang'aa along with copper distilling equipment. Officers destroyed 9,000 more liters of alcohol at the location. A video shows them examining plastic bags inside a dirty storage place.
The group faces charges for making an illegal brew. Two men and one woman remain at the Capitol Hill police station. This happened just two weeks after authorities arrested five others in Kisii South during a similar raid where they seized 55,500 liters of illegal drinks.
Kithure Kindiki recently named illicit alcohol a top national security threat. This means the government considers fighting these substances very important. Last...
Pope Francis died at 88 after leading Catholics for 12 years. His death starts ancient mourning traditions that last nine days. Cardinals will pick a new leader 15-20 days after he passed away.
Cardinal Kevin Farrell officially confirms the death. He must seal the Pope's home, destroy his ring, and create the funeral plan. The public can view Francis in his open coffin at St Peter's Basilica. Unlike other popes, Francis asked for a simple wooden casket without being displayed on a raised platform.
Francis chose to be buried at Rome's Basilica of St Mary Major instead of the Vatican City. His funeral happens about four to six days after his death. When cardinals meet to vote, they stay locked away from outside contact, with no phones...
MAGLA gave Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital new curtains worth K6.7 million for its maternity ward and donated items like salt, wrappers, soap, and buckets for newborns, costing K1.4 million more. These gifts will help mothers have privacy during childbirth. The hospital staff asked MAGLA for help because they needed curtains to protect women's dignity when giving birth. Every 51 minutes, a baby arrives at this busy hospital.
The curtains will cover all 24 beds in the labor ward, helping medical staff offer respectful care to mothers. QECH handles about 30 deliveries each day. Most cases at QECH are complicated because it serves as a referral hospital. Rachel Mijiga from MAGLA said they wanted to support the hospital's needs. Christina...
A court in Lilongwe will decide next month if a teen sex case should continue. Brian Taulo faces charges for having sex with his 17-year-old girlfriend when he was 19. The law changed in February 2023, making it illegal for adults to have sex with anyone under 18.
Nyale Institute wants the court to stop the case. Their lawyer, Ireen Mathanga, argues teens close in age often have consensual relationships. She believes punishing Taulo violates his rights to privacy, dignity, freedom, and friendship. The state prosecutor, Innocent Dzatopetsa, insists Taulo broke the law.
Senior Resident Magistrate Wanangwa Nyirenda will announce his decision on May 20, 2025. The case might move to the Constitutional Court if deeper legal questions need...
