At least 22 people have been confirmed dead and scores injured after a head-on collision in Kanga area on the Mombasa-Nairobi highway.

Detained Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu plans to go on a hunger strike on Monday to demand that prison authorities allow him to privately meet his lawyers, his party said.
Lissu, a longtime critic of the Chama Cha Mapinduzi party ruling Tanzania since independence in 1961, has been jailed while waiting for the outcome of a trial for treason -- a charge that carries a potential death sentence.
Having survived an assassination attempt in 2017, Lissu was arrested in April 2025 on accusations that he incited the public to boycott that year's elections.
