A strike at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), one of Africa's busiest airports, has caused major disruptions, leading to delays and cancellations of both domestic and international flights, Kenya Airways confirmed on Wednesday. Passengers have been left stranded as airport operations are severely affected by the industrial action. The strike, led by the Kenya Aviation Workers Union, is a protest against a proposed 30-year lease agreement with India’s Adani Group. The deal, announced in July, would see Adani Enterprises take over operations at JKIA, sparking fears among workers. Union representatives argue that the agreement could lead to significant job losses and the introduction of foreign labor, which they claim would undermine local employment opportunities. Negotiations between the union and the government are ongoing as the strike continues to impact air travel in the region. #nairobi #adanigroup #flightcancelled #aviation #protest #kenyaprotests #jkia

El Salvador’s national police chief, Mauricio Arriaza, has died alongside eight others after a military helicopter they were traveling in crashed on Sunday evening. Coto, who was reportedly attempting to flee to the United States with the help of a people-smuggler, had been captured by Honduran police over the weekend. Coto was one of 32 individuals accused of siphoning off millions from the credit union, allegedly using the stolen funds to purchase luxury items such as properties and cars. Fifteen people, including Coto’s parents, have been detained in connection with the case. #elsalvador #policearrest #helcopter #planecrash #corruption #policechief

Algeria’s incumbent President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has won re-election with 95 percent of the vote, according to preliminary official results, avoiding the need for a runoff. His two opponents, Abdelaali Hassani Cherif, who garnered 3 percent, and Youcef Aouchiche, with 2 percent, offered little challenge to the military-backed leader. Voter turnout was recorded at 48 percent, reflecting a relatively low level of public engagement. Tebboune's re-election suggests continuity in Algeria’s governing policies, especially regarding its economic and social programs. Hassani Cherif’s campaign has raised concerns about the integrity of the electoral process, alleging pressure on polling officials to inflate the results and failures in providing proper vote-sorting records to candidates' representatives. The campaign also claimed instances of proxy group voting. "This is a farce," said Ahmed Sadok, Hassani Cherif's spokesperson, asserting that the campaign’s internal tallies showed their candidate performing much better. However, these claims remain unverified. In contrast, the head of the electoral commission, Mohammed Charfi, emphasized the transparency of the election and affirmed that all candidates were treated fairly. #politics #algeria_news #algeria #election Video Credit: @FRANCE24

Super Typhoon Yagi has devastated parts of Vietnam, southern China, and the Philippines, leaving nine people dead as of Sunday. The powerful storm tore through northern Vietnam, ripping roofs off buildings, sinking boats, and triggering widespread landslides. In one tragic incident, a family of four was killed in a landslide in the mountainous Hoa Binh province of northern Vietnam, according to state media reports. The landslide occurred in the early hours of Sunday after several hours of torrential rain, when a hillside collapsed onto their home. Authorities confirmed that the 51-year-old homeowner survived, but his wife, daughter, and two grandchildren were buried under the debris. The storm made landfall in northern Vietnam on Saturday, bringing winds exceeding 149 kilometers (92 miles) per hour, uprooting trees, and severely damaging infrastructure. According to disaster management authorities, four people were killed on Saturday when roofing materials flew off buildings, striking individuals on the ground. In addition to these casualties, Yagi has left widespread damage in its wake, with homes and public infrastructure heavily impacted. #landslide #vietnam #tragicnews #naturaldisaster #storm

Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed support for U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. His comments came just a day after the U.S. accused Moscow of trying to interfere in the vote. Speaking at Russia's Eastern Economic Forum, Putin sarcastically remarked that Harris’s infectious laughter showed she was doing well and said Russia would back her, as U.S. President Joe Biden had urged his supporters to do. His remarks follow earlier criticisms of U.S. politics and sanctions imposed under former President Donald Trump. #donaldtrump #kamalaharris #joebiden #trump #unitedstates #uselection #putin #russia

Tunisian police arrested opposition politician Ayachi Zammel on Monday, just after he was confirmed as one of only two challengers to President Kais Saied in the upcoming October 6 election. The arrest occurred hours before the electoral commission announced the final list of candidates, which included Zammel and the incumbent president. Zammel's campaign manager, Mahdi Abdeljaouad, accused the authorities of using the arrest to exclude him from the election, a move that has drawn criticism from rights groups who accuse President Saied of purging political competition. #tunisia #election #africanleaders #presidentialelection #politics #candidate

Massive protests erupted across Israel on Sunday following the deaths of six hostages in Gaza, with frustration mounting over the government's inability to secure a ceasefire and the release of captives.
