A six-week strike by nurses in Kenya has ended after the government and the nurses' union signed a return-to-work agreement. Nurses are expected to return to hospitals within 24 hours, according to union Secretary-General Seth Panyako. The agreement gives the government and the union 45 days to conclude negotiations on implementing a collective bargaining agreement reached in 2017, following a six-month strike. The agreement has remained largely unimplemented, with the government citing budgetary constraints. Lulu Gaboo spoke to Channel Africa's Correspondent in Kenya, Daniel Ominde.

Angola and Botswana are deepening economic cooperation in diamonds, energy, and other sectors as Botswana's President Duma Boko visits Angola. Speaking during Boko's official visit to Luanda, President João Lourenço said stronger cooperation in the diamond sector could give the two major producers greater influence in the global diamond industry. Lourenço also raised the possibility of Botswana taking a stake in the 6.6-billion-dollar Lobito refinery, describing the project as strategic infrastructure that could help landlocked countries such as Botswana reduce their exposure to oil and fuel price volatility. The two countries have also agreed to jointly pursue a potential stake in De Beers and coordinate efforts to counter the growing threat posed by synthetic diamonds. Lulu Gaboo spoke to an energy analyst and economist, Tshepo Kgadima

The United Kingdom (UK) has imposed sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, accusing the Israeli government of turning a blind eye to the "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians by settlers.

The measures were announced jointly with France and Canada, which said the action marks "a further turning point" in efforts to protect the two-state solution. In response, Israel has ordered the UK to close its consulate in East Jerusalem within 30 days.

Lulu Gaboo spoke to Prof André Thomashausen, a professor emeritus of international, comparative and constitutional law at the University of South Africa.
