 Morocco places provinces on highest alert as wildfire spreads Morocco has placed nine provinces at the highest wildfire alert level as blazes continued to intensify over the past week, with satellite data showing that more than 4,100 hectares (10,131 acres) have burned since the start of the year. Data from the European Commission-backed Global Wildfire Information System (GWIS) showed that about 855 hectares (2,112 acres) burned over the past week, marking an increase from the previous week, Anadolu Agency reported. The system also detected 1,006 thermal anomalies across Morocco between Jan. 1 and Aug. 2, including 59 over the past week. Thermal anomalies are satellite-detected hotspots and do not necessarily represent separate wildfires, as the same fire may be detected more than once. On Friday, Morocco’s National Agency for Water and Forests issued red-level wildfire warnings for nine provinces in the country’s north and east, indicating an extreme risk of forest fires. Offici...

 Police fire tear gas, water cannon at anti-tax protesters in Nairobi


Riot police in Nairobi fired tear gas and water cannon to disperse thousands of demonstrators on Thursday as coordinated marches took place across Kenya against government plans to raise $2.7 billion in additional taxes.


Late into the protest on Thursday, officers fired tear gas to disperse protesters who were marching on a road near State House, President William Ruto's office and official residence, Reuters reported.


Earlier, police had sprayed people with purple-coloured water from water cannon, as they sought to clear protesters in Nairobi's central business district and blocked their path to parliament. The demonstration had appeared peaceful.


The Kenya Red Cross said on X it had attended to 39 injured people from the protests, of whom eight were in a critical condition.


Police Inspector General Japhet Koome said in a statement they would not allow anyone to disrupt parliament's proceedings, or occupy critical government infrastructure.


Protesters say the tax rises, aimed at reducing the budget deficit, will hurt the economy and raise the cost of living for Kenyans who are already struggling to make ends meet.


The government has ceded some ground due to public outcry on its planned tax measures.


A parliamentary panel recommended on Tuesday that the government scrap some new taxes proposed in its finance bill, including new ones on car ownership, bread, cooking oil and financial transactions.


The panel also recommended that a fuel tax towards road maintenance be increased.


President Ruto was elected almost two years ago on a platform to help Kenya's working poor, but has faced repeated anti-tax protests. He has defended the tax increases, saying the government needs to reduce its reliance on borrowing.
