Amazon is preparing for another large round of job cuts this week. Reports suggest the tech giant may announce fresh layoffs on January 27, which could impact around 16,000 employees worldwide. This move is part of a broader restructuring plan that could lead to nearly 30,000 corporate job losses by mid-2026. This time, the impact is expected to be wider, with India-based teams likely to face heavier cuts compared to earlier rounds. CEO Andy Jassy has said the job cuts are not mainly driven by financial pressure or AI, but by the need to reduce bureaucracy and improve company culture.

Two people, including a local administrator, were killed on Monday morning after suspected Al Shabaab militants staged a deadly dawn attack in Hulugho town, Garissa County.

As they retreated, the militants also shot dead a teacher identified as Stephen Musili, a resident of the same neighbourhood. According to local sources, the chief had been on the militants’ radar for some time due to his efforts to flush out Al Shabaab operatives and sympathisers from the area. Another teacher, Agnes Kavatha, who was a neighbour of the slain teacher, said she witnessed militants dragging Musili out of his house before shooting him.

Kenya to feel the pinch after US finally withdraws from the WHO
Withdrawal of the United States from the World Health Organization will set back countries such as Kenya, which had made progress against infections such as malaria, HIV-Aids and polio, the WHO has said. WHO said the US has contributed significantly to the progress against polio, HIV-Aids, Ebola, influenza, tuberculosis, malaria, neglected tropical diseases, and antimicrobial resistance, among others. WHO also said it took note of statements from the government of the United States that the world health agency has “trashed and tarnished” and insulted it, and compromised its independence. As we do with every member state, WHO has always sought to engage with the United States in good faith, with full respect for its sovereignty,” the organisation said. The meeting focused on deepening Kenya’s strategic partnership with WHO, with particular emphasis on strengthening health systems, local manufacturing, regulatory capacity, and emergency preparedness.
