Ruto sworn in as Kenya’s President

Thousands of people cheered in a ceremony in Nairobi the capital of Kenya, as outgoing president Uhuru Kenyatta handed over all constitutional power to William Ruto, who becomes the country’s fifth president since independence in 1963.

Also in Ethiopia, officials in the region of Tigray have accused the Ethiopian army of conducting drone strikes against the University campus in the capital Mekelle, days after pledging to honour a ceasefire.

Plus, Tanzania’s three-times Olympian Magdalena Moshi is on a mission to end the culture silence on reproductive health issues around Africa, after she went through a near death experience, which had her undergoing emergency surgery to remove nearly four kilograms of uterine fibroids- a condition she later found out runs in her family but was a taboo subject.
