A veterinary officer vaccinates livestock in EldasLivestock keepers have been urged to vaccinate their animals every six months to reduce incidences of anthrax. Kenya was among five countries in the East and Southern Africa that had anthrax outbreaks last year. There were three human deaths and 1,100 cases of anthrax infections in animals reported in Kenya in 2023 up from 200 cases in 2022.

The Star Trek: First Contact Plotline That Is Still Incredibly Powerful Today
As the first solo film featuring the crew from Star Trek: The Next Generation, First Contact finds the USS Enterprise-E following the Borg back to April 4, 2063. The ever-awkward Reginald Barclay isn’t the only one whose hero worship freaks out Cochrane. The more that La Forge et al. Yet the actual Cochrane plot in First Contact shows that, in fact, he didn’t do it alone. Even if they don’t get lines, background characters in the Earth scenes show a crowd of people at work, actually enacting Cochrane’s designs.

(Photo: REUTERS/Maxim Shemetov)By Alfred Onyango | Tuesday, November 19, 2024Africa is one of the most affected regions by climate change and its current and historical greenhouse gas emissions are minuscule at the global scale. Refugees and advocates from conflict-ridden and fragile states have raised concern over the glaring disparity in climate financing, lamenting that refugees, one of the most vulnerable populations, are less prioritised. Through a study report presented by their umbrella body, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), at the ongoing COP29 in Baku, they argue that climate funding overwhelmingly favours middle-income countries. The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) reports that 17 of the 20 countries most at risk from climate change are located in Africa, highlighting the continent's heightened vulnerability. Gaps in climate financingAfrica is one of the most affected regions by climate change and its current and historical greenhouse gas emissions are minuscule at the global scale.

State of the nation: State response to Bishops
STAR INFOGRAPHICSThe government went overdrive on November 21 with a flurry of public statements as it sought to fend off a wave of criticism from the local Catholic clerics. In a rare show of government-coordinated response, the government also deployed key parliamentary leaders and politicians to downplay concerns raised by the bishops. Some politicians told off the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops claiming that the clergy never raised a finger during the regime of retired President Uhuru Kenyatta. This is the first time since the last election that Catholic clerics have clashed with the government over what the bishops called an unprecedented culture of lies by the state and public officers.
