Khalid Mohamed Elbaghir, a volunteer in the community, mentioned that all the belongings, including the beds, were taken from the houses. The level of destruction caused by the rising violence in El Fasher is severe and distressing. Since mid-April, approximately 320,000 individuals are thought to have been displaced in El Fasher. Between 150,000 and 200,000 of these individuals have reportedly relocated to Zamzam camp in search of safety, basic necessities, and food since mid-May.

The level of representation of women within the leadership of African tech startups has increased over the last year, but there is plenty of work to be done before true gender equality exists in the space. Of the 2,786 startups tracked for the purposes of the publication, 483 (17.3%) had at least one female co-founder. There has been growth, too, when it comes to women filling the CEO position at African tech startups. “While it is clear from the data that African tech remains very much a male-dominated landscape, there are positives to be drawn from the growth in female leadership we have seen over the last year, however small. Nigeria saw female representation within founding teams grow to 20.7 per cent from 16.5 per cent, while the percentage of startups with female CEOs increased to 12.1 per cent from 10.8 per cent.

CAIRO (AP) — Famine conditions have spread in Sudan in the North Darfur region and are likely to continue through October due to the ongoing conflict that has torn the country for over 15 months, a global authority on food security warned Thursday. Famine conditions have prevailed as of June and July in Zamam camp, 12 km south of Al Fasher —the capital of North Darfur — where internally displaced people are living, according to the IPC report. The Famine Early Warning Systems Network or FEWS NET Thursday echoed the IPC report, saying that there is “reasonable evidence” that famine thresholds were passed in June in the Zamzam camp. “The available data on acute malnutrition in Zamzam camp from January 2024 revealed malnutrition rates exceeding the IPC Famine threshold,” the IPC said of its July analysis of Zamzam camp. Another IPC report in July said that 755,000 people face IPC Phase 5 in 10 states, five of which are in the Greater Darfur region, North Kordofan, Gezeira, and Khartoum.

The recent heavy rains in northwestern North Korea flooded thousands of houses and a vast extent of farmland leaving many residents homeless and living in makeshift tents, reported North Korea’s state media July 31. North Korea is prone to flooding from heavy summer rains because of poor drainage, deforestation, and dilapidated infrastructure. KCNA said Politburo members later approved the appointments of new Workers’ Party secretaries in the flood-hit regions and a new public security minister. On Aug. 1, South Korea’s Unification Ministry, which handles inter-Korean affairs, said the South was willing to swiftly provide supplies to address the “humanitarian difficulties” facing North Korean residents following the storms. North Korea didn’t immediately respond to the South’s offer and it’s unclear whether they will accept the proposal.
