Love Wins in Court: Philippines Grants Property Rights to Same-Sex Couples
It bypasses the gridlocked debate on marriage equality and strikes directly at the practicalities of life: security, assets, and home. The court applied Article 147 of the Family Code, ruling that if two partners contribute to the acquisition of property, their union—regardless of gender—entitles them to equal ownership rights. The Precedent: Same-sex partners are now co-owners if they can prove joint contribution to the property's acquisition. Same-sex partners are now co-owners if they can prove joint contribution to the property's acquisition. The Context: The Philippines is the only country outside the Vatican without divorce, making any shift in family law monumental.

U.S., Burundi Seal Sh129M Health Pact Aimed at Crushing HIV and Malaria
In return, Burundi has pledged to increase domestic health spending by $26 million over the same period, signaling a push toward long-term self-reliance. “Building on the United States’ decades of fighting HIV/AIDS and malaria in Burundi, this MOU safeguards Americans by strengthening Burundi’s capacity to detect and contain infectious disease outbreaks before they spread internationally,” the statement reads. According to the State Department, Burundi aims to continue treating 97 percent of people living with HIV while cutting malaria deaths among children under five by half within five years. The Burundi deal is part of a broader global rollout of bilateral health MOUs under the America First framework.

Mystery of breaking medals baffles Milano Winter Olympics organisersWhether gold, silver or bronze, there is one thing Milano Cortina Winter Olympics medals have in common: they can break. “We are fully aware of the situation and you have seen the pictures,” Milano Cortina Chief Games Operations Officer Andrea Francisi told a press conference on Monday.

NTV Kenya: Uganda minister condemns military raid on Bobi Wine’s home
Uganda minister condemns military raid on Bobi Wine’s homeUganda’s Information Minister Chris Baryomunsi condemned a military raid on opposition leader Bobi Wine’s home last month, telling Reuters that the popstar-turned-politician had not committed any crime and was free to return there. Uganda’s military chief, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who is also Museveni’s son, denied soldiers assaulted Wine’s wife, but later said on X that they had “captured and then released” her. Kainerugaba has stated in social media posts that the military is looking for Wine, who has rejected the election results, alleging fraud. He once threatened to behead Wine and also boasted the military had killed 30 opposition supporters. Baryomunsi said Kainerugaba’s posts should be taken as “casual comments that do not reflect state policy and state decisions.”

Uganda eyes Tanzania route for refined petroleum products
Uganda is in advanced negotiations with Tanzania to develop a pipeline for transporting refined petroleum products, a move government officials say will strengthen the regional energy security and reduce reliance on existing import routes. The proposed infrastructure would enable Uganda to export refined petroleum products while also allowing for the importation of fuel during the interim period before completion of the country’s planned $4 billion refinery. Currently, Uganda relies on the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) for about 90 per cent of its refined petroleum product imports. Through the Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC), Uganda secures fuel imports via Kenya’s port of Mombasa and transports them through the KPC pipeline to Eldoret. If implemented, the pipeline would position Tanzania as a key export corridor for Uganda’s refined petroleum products while providing an alternative import route during the refinery construction phase.

Junet scrambles to retain political standing after Azimio shake-up
Suna East MP Junet Mohammed was removed as Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition Secretary General. [File, Standard]Suna East MP Junet Mohammed has reaped heavily from political patronage since joining parliament in 2013 through a controversial nomination process, courtesy of the goodwill he enjoyed from the now-deceased ODM party leader Raila Odinga, but his political future now looks bleak. He has to not only reckon with the fact that Raila is no longer there to keep him under his wings, but also to deal with the many enemies he has made both within and outside the opposition because of his abrasiveness and loose tongue.

Kenya, Brazil to address growing trade imbalance
[Benard Orwongo Standard]The economic relationship between Kenya and Brazil has long been characterised by a significant trade imbalance, with Brazil exporting far more to Kenya than Kenya exports to Brazil. Of this, Brazil exported goods worth $168.26 million (Sh21.8 billion) to Kenya, while Kenya’s exports to Brazil amounted to just $1.2 million (Sh156 million). Kenya’s exports to Brazil remain concentrated in low-value products, while imports from Brazil include raw sugar, industrial alcohol and agricultural machinery. The forum was designed to directly confront the trade imbalance and reposition Kenya as a production and investment base for Africa. Analysts projected this could bring an additional $2.15 million (Sh279.5 million) in trade value through expanded rice exports.
