Mediation Fails Between Meta and Kenyan Moderators, Rights Group Says
NAIROBI (Reuters) -Settlement talks have collapsed between Facebook's parent company Meta and Kenyan content moderators over a lawsuit alleging unfair dismissal, a tech rights group working with the moderators said on Monday. The 184 moderators sued Meta and two subcontractors earlier this year after they say they lost their jobs with one of the subcontractors, Sama, for organising a union. British tech rights group Foxglove said in a statement on Monday that the negotiations had broken down, accusing Meta and Sama of making "very little attempt to address core issues raised by the petitioners". The moderators also allege that Meta is trying to terminate their contracts in defiance of an earlier court order. A hearing on their petition to find Meta and Sama in contempt of court is scheduled for Oct. 31, Foxglove said.

Eritrea says it will not engage in sea access- related issues
Eritrea has formally responded to the speech given by the Ethiopian Prime Minister regarding Ethiopia’s aspiration to gain access to the sea. In a brief statement released by the Ministry of Information on Monday, the Eritrean government expressed its lack of interest in “engaging in such channels and platforms” where discussions about sea access and related matters would take place. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed talked about the need for wider discussion in a televised speech broadcast on Friday night while addressing council members regarding Ethiopia’s desire to secure access to the sea. He emphasized that securing sea access for the country, given its significant population growth and strategic proximity to both the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, is a matter of vital importance. The Eritrean government commented, “Discourses – both actual and presumed – on water, access to the sea, and related topics floated in the recent times are numerous and excessive indeed”.

WHO calls on Ethiopian gov't, partners to strengthen efforts against prolonged cholera outbreak
ADDIS ABABA, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) -- The World Health Organization (WHO) has called on the Ethiopian government and its partners to maintain collaborative efforts to manage the ongoing prolonged cholera outbreak in the country. From August 2022 to Sept. 21, 2023, a total of 250 districts from 10 regions across the East African country were affected by the ongoing cholera outbreak. It remains crucial for the government and key partners to maintain collaborative efforts to manage this outbreak, the WHO noted, adding that in addition to the ongoing cholera outbreak, Ethiopia is currently grappling with a concurrent outbreak of multiple diseases, such as dengue fever, measles, and malaria, which have strained the healthcare system alongside cholera. It noted the urgent need for durable solutions to address the root causes of recurrent cholera outbreaks, which include poor-quality drinking water and open defecation. It said fecal contamination of drinking water is the main source of cholera, with most cholera patients using unsafe drinking water.
