Kenyan police have rescued 70 foreign nationals, mostly Ethiopians, who were being held in a house in Nairobi by a suspected human‑trafficking ring. Acting on a tip‑off, officers freed the group, which included 66 Ethiopians and four Eritreans, after discovering them confined in a house in the Ruai area, according to a police statement shared on a US‑based social media platform.

Somalia’s Parliament has approved constitutional amendments that could extend President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s term by one year and delay planned elections. The country has faced instability since the fall of Mohamed Siad Barre’s government in 1991.

Opposition lawmakers have criticised the constitutional changes, warning that they could undermine democratic processes.
