However, for many Kenyans, this visit holds a deeper significance. It's about reconciliation and addressing the dark history of colonial-era abuses, including torture, killings, and widespread land expropriation. A substantial amount of land, still owned by British citizens and companies, was taken during colonial times, leaving a lasting scar on Kenya's history.

The most contentious period of British rule in Kenya was during the Mau Mau revolt of 1952-1960. This uprising in central Kenya was met with severe repression, and the wounds of that era remain unhealed. The visit provides an opportunity for both nations to come to terms with the past and set the stage for a more equitable future.

The UAE's AI Ambitions Get a Boost with Nvidia Chip Approval: A Game-Changer for the Gulf Region.

-
The advance made by the United States in the approval of cutting-edge Nvidia chips to G42 is a historic development for UAE’s artificial intelligence ambitions. This strategy thus not only represents significant technological growth but also marks an important political milestone for UAE that wants to portray itself as a global hub for technology. In particular, accessing advanced AI technologies such as Nvidia’s H100 models has been significantly hindered over the years due to fears about UAE-China relations, with the US tightening its export restrictions in the area. However, this recent endorsement—a fact which received little attention—shows that there is now greater strategic flexibility and demonstrates how committed UAE is towards ensuring it stays clear from any possible Chinese influence if it wants to become one of our most reliable partners. The timing for G42’s bold distribution of these Nvidia chips could not be better. With worldwide AI rivalry heating up after the advent...
