Kenya Records Highest Single-Day COVID Case Spike Kenya’s Heath Ministry says 45 new coronavirus cases have been reported in a single day as the nation takes steps to stop the infection from spreading. Health Minister Mutahi Kagwe released the figures Tuesday at a news conference in Nairobi. He noted the increase marked a big jump in the eight weeks since the first case came to their attention. “This of course is the highest number recorded in 24 hours, ever since the first case on the 12th of March. Out of this number 29 are from Nairobi, 11 are from Mombasa while five are from Wajir and one is a foreign national from Somalia. The five from Wajir have a history of recent travel to Mogadishu,” he said. Kenya shares a border with Somalia, which at last count had 756 recorded cases and 35 deaths, according to the Johns Hopkins University’s coronavirus tracking site. Kenya’s Ministry of Health recently announced that it had identified Eastleigh and Kawangware, two of Nairobi’s most densely populated neighborhoods, as coronavirus hotspots, as they had recorded cases of community transmission in these areas. “The 29 cases that we have from Nairobi are all from Eastleigh; that means that as we speak, there are 63 cases within the Eastleigh area alone. That tells you then that there is community spread happening within Nairobi specifically in the area of Eastleigh. This comes out as a result of mass testing in that area within the last 24 hours. Kawangware continues also to be an area of concern and there are 24 in that area and then in Mombasa. In Old Town alone we have 39 cases," said Kagwe. Xigasho

Kenya, Somali leaders agree on joint probe after plane crash Kenyan and Somali leaders on Tuesday agreed on a joint investigation into the aircraft crash that killed six people in southwest of Somali on Monday. Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said he received a telephone call from his Somali counterpart Mohamed Farmajo who said Mogadishu has commenced probe into the incident to establish what led to the plane crash. Kenyatta said in a statement that Farmajo informed him that he had instructed the civil aviation authorities to immediately mount an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash of this aircraft which was supporting humanitarian operations in the country. "In this regard, President Farmajo invited the Kenyan civil aviation authorities to team with their Somali counterparts with a view to completing the investigations expeditiously," Kenyatta said in a statement issued after the telephone call. Kenyatta said the Somali leader called to express his regret and convey condolences for the loss of life after a Kenyan-registered aircraft which crashed while landing at Bardale airport. The Kenya-registered aircraft, 5Y-AXO, belonging to African Express crashed in Bardere, Somalia as it approached the airport under unclear circumstances. The plane which had six people, including the pilot, co-pilot, flight engineer, a trainee pilot and two airline workers, was carrying aid supplies for use in the fight against the novel coronavirus.

Meeshaan waligeed laguma heshiinaayo miyaa? How long is this going on? I think last week there was another useless dagaal beeleed, too.

Of course those and many more are Soomaalinized foreign words. Now bring the Waqooyi version of them and let's see how many of them are original Soomaali words. What we were talking about was the the words that have original in Soomaali language in one dialect while the other does not. If both dialects use borrowed foreign words - like 'biriij' and 'buundo' or tuweel and shukumaan - which were equally borrowed from Ingiriis and Talyaani, then both should not be counted. I was listing Waqooyi-borrowed words like beyd, daqiiq, digaag, xamxam whereas original words in Soomaali exist and used by Koonfurta, like ukun, bur, dooro, musqul respectively.

Ethiopia: Free Speech at Risk Amid Covid-19 The Ethiopian government has been using Covid-19 restrictions and a recently declared state of emergency as a pretext to restrict free speech. In the last month, the authorities have detained a lawyer, Elizabeth Kebede, and charged a journalist, Yayesew Shimelis, for comments on social media about the government’s response to the coronavirus. A new state of emergency declared on April 8, 2020 gives the government sweeping powers to respond to the pandemic, heightening concerns of further arbitrary arrests and prosecutions of journalists and government critics. “While misinformation about the pandemic can be a concern, it’s no excuse to limit free speech,” said Laetitia Bader, Horn of Africa director at Human Rights Watch. “The authorities should drop charges against Yayesew Shimelis, release Elizabeth Kebede, and stop detaining people for peacefully expressing their views.” After confirming the first positive Covid-19 case on March 13, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced an initial series ofdirectives to stem the spread of the virus, which also urged “media institutions to deliver accurate information to the public.” On March 26, Yayesew, a journalist and producer of a political program on Tigray TV, a regional government-owned station, alleged on his personal Facebook page and on a YouTube channel he administers that the government ordered the preparation of 200,000 graves in anticipation of deaths from the virus. Government officials immediately condemned his remarks as “false.” The following day, Oromia police, along with two members of Ethiopia’s intelligence and security agency, arrested Yayesew at his family’s home in Legetafo, on the outskirts of Addis Ababa, and took him to the Addis Ababa Police Commission, where he was questioned about his political views and reporting. The authorities also seized his laptop, cellphone, and notebooks. It’s unclear whether they obtained a judicial warrant, as required for searches. Addis Ababa police alleged that Yayesew spread “false news” but held him for nearly three weeks without bringing formal charges. On April 15, a federal judge granted him bail, finding that investigators lacked sufficient evidence to proceed with the investigation. Federal police investigators then intervened in the case, appealing the court’s decision and accusing Yayesew of violating the revised anti-terrorism law. On April 20, a federal judge granted Yayesew bail a second time, again finding that investigators lacked enough evidence to charge him with terrorism offenses. Federal police finally released Yayesew on April 23. But, according to court documents Human Rights Watch reviewed, prosecutors have now formally charged him under the country’s new hate speech and disinformation law, citing as evidence postings and private messages obtained from Yayesew’s personal Facebook account by Ethiopia’s Information Network and Security Agency (INSA). The new law, which took effect on March 23, contains an overbroad definition of disinformation that provides authorities with excessive discretion to declare unpopular or controversial opinions “false.” The law also arbitrarily imposes harsher penalties for social media users who have more than 5,000 followers, as Yayesew does. On April 4, Addis Ababa police detained Kebede, a volunteer lawyer with the Ethiopian Women’s Lawyers Association (EWLA), one of the country’s leading women’s rights groups, and transferred her to the custody of Harari regional authorities. EWLA lawyers told Human Rights Watch that officials have not charged her with any offense but accuse her of disseminating false news in Facebook posts that officials claim could “instigate violence.” Human Rights Watch

LoL. Don't mind our Tigrey agent. I don't know why would any sane pro-Soomaaliya and for midnimo Soomaali would criticize Abiy Axmed. For all his faults and policies in Xabashiland, he is helping for Soomaaliya judging from his policies towards to Soomaaliya. I for one do not give a hoot what he does in Xabashiland. He could easily have chosen to pursue the failed divide-and-rule policies of Tigrey generals in Soomaaliya. He did not. He removed the infamous Gabre from Soomaaliya's political spheres as well. He cut any contact to maamul goboleed and their monthly, if not weekly, pilgrimages to Adisababa. If it wasn't Abiy Axmed, Shariif Xasan in Koonfur Galbeed would still be relevant and continued his shenanigans. Axmed Madoobe would have been emboldened to do whatever he wanted. In Waqooyi Galbeed, they would not be this toothless and desperate for anything. And in Soomaali Galbeed, he removed the Tigrey top lapdog, Cabdi Ileey. He does not suppress for Soomaaliweyn symbols, the flag and the national song, Soomaaliyeey toosoo, which are now Soomaali Galbeed's astaan.
