 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.

 Israeli president meets leader of the breakaway Somaliland region in Davos


Israeli President Isaac Herzog met Thursday with the leader of Somalia’s breakaway Somaliland region on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.


In a post on the US social media company X, Herzog said he was “pleased” to meet Somaliland’s self-declared president Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi during the annual gathering.


He said he welcomed the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two sides and expressed hope for expanding bilateral cooperation “for the benefit of both peoples,” Anadolu Agency reported.


On December 26, Israel announced that it had officially recognised Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state, becoming the only country to do so. The move drew sharp criticism across the globe.


Somalia reaffirmed its firm and non-negotiable commitment to its sovereignty, national unity, and territorial integrity, rejecting the Israeli move.


Somaliland has operated as a de facto self-governing entity since declaring independence from Somalia in 1991, but it has not received international recognition as a sovereign state.


Israel’s recognition of Somaliland violates international law and reflects competition for access to the Gulf of Aden, one of the world’s significant maritime corridors that facilitates approximately 15% of global trade.
