 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.

 IMF says Senegal visit was constructive, will talk more about programme request


The International Monetary Fund said on ​Monday that its staff had "open and constructive technical discussions" ‌on a visit to Senegal and it would hold more talks over the West African country's request for a support programme.


Senegal ​and the Fund have been in talks ​to resolve a hidden debt issue since the ⁠country's then-new leaders revealed the problem in 2024.


It said IMF staff would continue discussions over policies and reforms that could be supported by a new lending programme, including measures to address debt vulnerabilities, ​strengthen debt management ​and enhance ⁠public governance.


The Fund froze its previous $1.8 billion ​lending ⁠programme after the larger debt pile came to light, and Senegal has been largely shut out of international ⁠capital ​markets, leaving it reliant on ​regional borrowing.
