Kenia ist ein Land im Osten Afrikas mit einer Bevölkerung von etwa 43 Millionen Einwohnern. Präsident ist Uhuru Kenyatta. Das Land wurde am 12. Dezember 1963 unabhängig. Die Wirtschaft Kenias ist, gemessen am Bruttoinlandsprodukt, die größte in Südost- und Zentralafrika.
Zuletzt nahm die Gewalt in Kenia zu, seit das Land im Jahr 2011 Truppen in den Süden Somalias schickte, um dort gegen die Shebab-Miliz zu kämpfen.
Auf dieser Seite erfährst du, was gerade im Kenia so abgeht.

Kenia hat 358.700 Dosen Oxford-AstraZeneca-Impfstoffe erhalten, die von der dänischen Regierung gespendet wurden, um seine Impfbemühungen zu verstärken. Dies wird dazu beitragen, den Mangel an Coronavirus-Impfstoffen zu verringern, die als zweite Dosis an Mitarbeiter:innen des Gesundheitswesens und an vorderster Front verabreicht werden.
Das Gesundheitsministerium sagt, dass die neuen Dosen in verschiedene Einrichtungen im ganzen Land gebracht werden. Fast eine Million Kenianer:innen wurden mit dem AstraZeneca-Impfstoff geimpft, wobei die Mehrheit noch auf die zweite Impfung wartet. Die gespendeten COVID-19-Impfstoffe haben eine Lebensdauer von einem Monat und sind bis Ende Juli sicher. Außerdem haben die USA im Rahmen des Covax-Programms etwa 10 Millionen Impfstoffdosen für Afrika gespendet, die an Länder weitergegeben werden sollen, die in Abstimmung mit der Afrikanischen Union ausgewählt werden.
Die kenianischen Behörden bitten Bürger:innen, die ohne ihre Zustimmung als Angehörige einer politischen Partei registriert sind, das Problem zu melden. Viele Menschen in den sozialen Medien haben in der vergangenen Woche ihre Wut geäußert, nachdem sie im e-Citizen-Portal der Regierung herausgefunden hatten, dass ihre persönlichen Daten verwendet wurden, um sie ohne deren Wissen bei politischen Parteien zu registrieren. Die Seite des Kanzleramts auf dem Portal wurde zwischenzeitlich mit einer Mitteilung über die Einstellung des Dienstes

Das kürzlich eingerichtete Büro des Datenschutzbeauftragten sagte, es habe bereits mehr als 200 Beschwerden von geschädigten Personen erhalten – und forderte andere auf, sich zu melden, wenn sie sich abmelden wollten. In einer sagte die Agentur auch, dass sie mit anderen Agenturen zusammenarbeitet, um die Einhaltung der Datenschutzgesetze sicherstellen.Mai

In Afrika leben schätzungsweise 160 Millionen Menschen mit Wasserknappheit. Entweder, weil es nicht genug Wasser gibt, oder es ist nicht sicher zu konsumieren. Für Orte wie Kenias Hauptstadt Nairobi wächst das Problem, da sich immer mehr Menschen in der Stadt niederlassen.
In einigen Gegenden ist es besonders schlimm, an Orten wie Dandora Phase 4 in den Vororten. "Im Moment ist kein Wasser in den Wasserhähnen", sagt Caroline Achieng.
Die Stadtbehörden machen Wasserkartelle für das Problem verantwortlich, die entweder Wasser horten oder gewinnbringend verkaufen. Aber ist das wirklich so einfach?
Professor George Okoye von der Universität Nairobi sagt, die Stadt sei mit ihren Infrastrukturinvestitionen "19 Jahre zu spät.
Die Judicial Service Commission interviewte 10 Kandidat:innen für die Position. Ihre Nominierung wurde nun von der Kommission an den Präsidenten zur Ernennung weitergeleitet. Das Büro der UN Women in Kenia gratulierte Richterin Koome.

Nachhaltigkeit
Matee bekommt den Abfall von Verpackungsfabriken kostenlos, obwohl sie für das Plastik bezahlt, das sie von anderen Recyclern bekommt. Ihre Fabrik produziert täglich 1.500 Ziegelsteine, die aus einer Mischung verschiedener Kunststoffarten bestehen. Dies sind hochdichtes Polyethylen, das in Milch- und Shampooflaschen verwendet wird; Polyethylen niedriger Dichte, das häufig für Müslitüten oder Sandwiches verwendet wird; und Polypropylen, das für Seile, Klappdeckel und Eimer verwendet wird.
Diplomatische Fehde mit Somalia
Die diplomatische Fehde zwischen Kenia und Somalia eskalierte diese Woche, nachdem Mogadischu Nairobi beschuldigt hatte, hinter einem Angriff in einer Grenzstadt zu stehen, bei dem elf Zivilist:innen getötet wurden. In mehreren Erklärungen beschuldigte Somalia das kenianische Militär, hinter einer jubaländischen Miliz zu stehen, die am 25. Januar in der Grenzstadt Balad Hawa gegen Regierungstruppen kämpfte.
Berichte über den Angriff kamen gerade als Somalia damit drohte, das Regionalgremium der zwischenstaatlichen Entwicklungsbehörde (IGAD) zu verlassen, das Dschibuti im Dezember mit einer Erkundungsmission beauftragt hatte. Die Erkundungsmission war Teil eines Versuchs, die Spannungen zu beruhigen, nachdem Somalia die diplomatischen Beziehungen abgebrochen hatte.
Überschwemmungen
Jetzt bringen diese Überschwemmungen und die wirtschaftlichen Folgen von COVID-19 hungrige Fischer gegen hungrige Flusspferde auf – mit tödlichen Folgen.
zufolge wurden im Jahr 2020 etwa 40 Menschen – hauptsächlich Fischer – von Flusspferden auf dem Lake Naivasha angegriffen, und von ihnen starben. Jedes Jahr töten Flusspferde in Afrika schätzungsweise 500 Menschen und sind damit nach dem Menschen das tödlichste Säugetier der Welt und fast doppelt so tödlich wie Löwen. Nilpferde sind Pflanzenfresser und stören andere Tiere . Aber Männchen können aggressiv werden, wenn sie Gefahr spüren. Mütter können angreifen, um ihre Jungen zu schützen. Und fast alle Nilpferde werden nervös, wenn etwas – oder jemand – zwischen ihnen und dem Wasser steht, in dem sie leben.
Ab Oktober 2019 kam es im Great Rift Valley in Kenia zu heftigen Regenfällen, die dazu führten, dass der Lake Naivasha, der keinen Abfluss hat, auf seine ausgedehnteste Größe seit fast einem Jahrhundert anwuchs. Der See hat Gebiete überschwemmt, die von Flusspferden frequentiert werden, was sie in die gleichen flachen Gewässer wie Fischer zwingt und zu mehr Flusspferdangriffen führt.
Und die Zahl der Fischer – einmal von Dutzenden, vielleicht höchstens ein paar Hundert – stieg in die Tausende, nachdem die durch die COVID-19-Pandemie verursachte globale Wirtschaftskrise die Region heimgesucht hatte.
