Kenian perinteinen paimentolaiskulttuuri saattaa olla mennyttä, jos kuivuudesta kärsivään maahan ei saada pian apua.

Jos sadetta tai tulvaa ei kuulu, ihmisetkin kuolevat", kenialainen paimen kertoo.

Continua la crisi diplomatica tra Italia ed Eritrea: dopo che una decina di giorni fa sei a Ong italiane presenti nel paese con progetti di cooperazione è stato imposto di concludere la loro attività, il Governo di Asmara ha espulso nei giorni scorsi Ludovico Serra, il numero due dell'ambasciata d'Italia ad Asmara. L’accusa è quella di “intrusione e violazione della legislazione locale”. Immediata la risposta dell'Italia che ha espulso un funzionario eritreo accreditato a Roma. L’Associazione dell Ong italiane si domanda quali siano i motivi di attrito tra il nostro paese e le autorità eritree, domandano un chiarimento da parte dei responsabili del Ministero Affari Esteri e invitano a non dare per scontata la definitiva rinuncia – da parte italiana – ad aiutare il popolo eritreo.
