 Kenyan building collapse near Nairobi kills six people The collapse of an unfinished eight-storey building in Kenya has killed six people. The structure fell on Friday morning in Syokimau on the outskirts of Nairobi. Construction workers were reportedly at the site when the building’s uppermost concrete slab gave way, bringing down part of the structure, according to a preliminary report from Nairobi City County’s emergency team. The report did not establish why the slab failed. The Kenya Red Cross initially reported that three people had been rescued and one person was reported missing. TV reports later said that five people had been pulled alive from the rubble and taken to hospital. The emergency report said the number of workers present when the building fell had not been confirmed, leaving open the possibility that others were trapped. Firefighters and specialist rescue teams were continuing to search for survivors.

 Nigeria, Denmark, UK… 79 countries condemn Trump’s ICC sanctions


State parties to the International Criminal Court (ICC) have condemned President Donald Trump’s sanctions against the institution.

Trump accused the world’s first permanent international war crimes court of taking “illegitimate and baseless actions” against the US and its ally, Israel.

In response, he imposed financial and visa restrictions on individuals and their families who assisted the ICC in investigating American citizens.

The ICC recently issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes in Gaza.

The ICC said it found reasonable grounds to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant acted as civilian superiors and intentionally directed attacks against a civilian population. A Hamas commander was also subject to an arrest warrant.

In Thursday’s order, Trump accused the Hague-based ICC of creating a “shameful moral equivalency” between Hamas and Israel by issuing the warrants at the same time.

Tomoko Akane, ICC president, said the order harmed the court’s independence and deprived millions of innocent victims of atrocities of justice and hope.

 On Friday, she urged the court’s 125 state parties, civil society, and the international community to defend the institution.

Hours later, 79 state parties released a joint statement reaffirming their support for the ICC.

“As strong supporters of the ICC, we regret any attempts to undermine the Court’s independence, integrity, and impartiality,” the statement reads.

“We are committed to ensuring the ICC’s business continuity so that the Court can continue to carry out its functions effectively and independently.”

Countries that signed the statement include Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Afghanistan, Ghana, France, Gambia, and South Africa. Others include Poland, Denmark, Spain, Namibia, Luxembourg, Jordan, Finland, Sierra Leone, and Mexico.

The US and Israel are not ICC member states.

South Africa condemned on Saturday US President Donald Trump’s decision to freeze aid to the country over a law he alleged allows land to be seized from white farmers.

“We are concerned by what seems to be a campaign of misinformation and propaganda aimed at misrepresenting our great nation,” the government said.

“It is disappointing to observe that such narratives seem to have found favour among decision-makers in the United States of America.”

The law would “enable the government of South Africa to seize ethnic minority Afrikaners’ agricultural property without compensation”, Trump alleged in an executive order, which also noted foreign policy clashes between the two countries over the war in Gaza.

South Africa said it “has taken note” of Trump’s executive order, but added: “It is of great concern that the foundational premise of this order lacks factual accuracy and fails to recognize South Africa’s profound and painful history of colonialism and apartheid.”

Land ownership is a contentious issue in South Africa, with most farmland still owned by white people three decades after the end of apartheid and the government under pressure to implement reforms.
