"body": "It is a chilly morning in Beijing. Participants attending the Seminar on New Quality Production Forces for National Media in the Indian Ocean Region arrive at the Beijing Dahongmen International Convention and Exhibition Centre, one after another.\n\nTheir expressions tell a story of their own. The biting cold that has characterised the Chinese capital since their arrival is clearly taking its toll as the winter season sets in.\n\nHailing from Kenya, South Africa, Indonesia and Mauritius, the participants engage in animated conversations, exchanging experiences and observations in spirited attempts to keep warm.\n\nThe conversations became even livelier when Prof. Li Fangni, a lecturer at the Communication University of China (CUC), takes to the podium.\n\n\"Which profession do you think cannot be taken over by Artificial Intelligence (AI)?\" asks Prof. Li, a former television presenter with a particular interest in sports, as she opens her daylong lecture.\n\nThe question sparked several responses. Doctors, teachers, chefs and caregivers working in nursing homes are among the professions participants identify as being relatively immune to the disruptions posed by AI. They offer various justifications for their choices, largely centred on the importance of human interaction, empathy and judgement.\n\nProf. Li, however, cautioned that although the human element in some professions may be difficult to replace, the impact of AI on these sectors cannot be ignored.\n\nShe illustrated this by pointing to the growing use of AI-powered technologies in cooking, where machines can undertake much of the preparation, leaving human beings with tasks such as tasting and assessing the final product.\n\nThe message was thus clear: no profession is entirely insulated from the technological revolution.\n\nFor the media industry, this transformation is already well underway.\n\nThe Central Kitchen Model\n\nAs AI continues to reshape industries across the world, one of the sectors experiencing significant change in China is the newsroom.\n\nTraditionally, news gathering required a team of professionals dispatched to the field, typically comprising radio and television reporters and a camera operator. Each played a distinct role in collecting, recording and packaging information for different media platforms.\n\nIn China's increasingly digitised media landscape, however, this conventional approach is giving way to a more integrated system of news gathering and production.\n\nThe People's Daily, for instance, operates an integrated media production and convergence framework commonly referred to as the \"Central Kitchen Model\".\n\nUnder this approach, a single journalist can be deployed to cover an event, such as a political gathering of the Communist Party of China, armed with a digital device.\n\nRather than relying on a large crew to produce separate content for different platforms, the journalist uses AI-powered tools and digital applications, including Kimi, CapCut, Kling, Jimeng and DeepSeek, to generate and package text, images, audio and video content.\n\nThe process is guided by the principle of \"one collection, multiple generation, and multi-channel distribution\".\n\nOnce collected, the raw content is uploaded to a central repository, where different departments can access and adapt it according to their editorial and distribution requirements.\n\nThe model allows one reporting assignment to generate multiple content formats for different audiences and platforms. It also promotes collaboration across departments, reduces duplication of effort and improves the speed and efficiency of news production.\n\nAt its core is a mobile-first approach that recognises the growing importance of digital platforms in news consumption.\n\nThe concept is also being implemented at China Central Television (CCTV), where it operates under what is known as the \"Super Newsroom\" model.\n\nThe virtual team: Redefining newsroom operations\n\nA key driver of the Central Kitchen Model is the concept of the virtual team.\n\nThis is a specialised group comprising editors, reporters, graphic designers and other media professionals who work collaboratively to ensure that content uploaded to the central repository is processed and distributed across various platforms in a timely manner.\n\nExplaining China's media convergence policy and strategy, Prof. Chen Qiang, also a lecturer at CUC said the model embraces multi-format content production to expand the possibilities of news dissemination.\n\n\"The model works under a multi-format exploration to push the boundaries of diverse news dissemination,\" he remarked.\n\nBut does such a system risk rendering some media professionals redundant?\n\nResponding to concerns about possible job losses, Prof. Chen argued that the transition should be viewed primarily as a restructuring of newsroom operations rather than the wholesale elimination of jobs.\n\n\"What has to be done is restructuring. That is, original teams need to be broken and people willing to work under the virtual team assigned the task, while the remaining can be assigned new roles elsewhere,\" he submitted.\n\nHis argument points to a broader shift in the skills and organisational structures required in modern newsrooms.\n\nAs media consumption habits evolve, traditional media organisations are increasingly being challenged to repackage their content in formats that appeal to younger audiences, particularly those who consume news predominantly through mobile devices and social media platforms.\n\nProf. Chen noted that CCTV is embracing this shift through what he described as \"cross-screen innovation to create original converged media content, and focuses on short video and exclusive IPs for fragmented dissemination\".\n\nThe strategy seeks to reach audiences across different screens and platforms by adapting content originally produced for television to suit the shorter attention spans and changing consumption habits associated with digital media.\n\nThis means prioritising short-form videos, mobile-friendly storytelling, original multimedia content and the adaptation of traditional big-screen productions for smaller devices.\n\nThe objective is not simply to move existing content online, but to rethink how news is packaged, presented and distributed to remain relevant in an increasingly competitive digital environment.\n\nAI and the future of traditional media\n\nThe changes unfolding in China's media industry reflect a wider transformation taking place across the global broadcasting and audiovisual landscape.\n\nAs earlier pointed out by Cao Shumin, the Director of China's National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA), AI-driven information technologies are exerting an unprecedented, extensive and profound impact on the radio, television and audiovisual industries.\n\nThis transformation presents both opportunities and challenges for traditional media organisations.\n\nOn the one hand, AI offers opportunities to streamline news gathering, accelerate content production, improve newsroom efficiency and expand audience reach. On the other, it requires media professionals to acquire new skills, adapt to emerging technologies and rethink established approaches to journalism and broadcasting.\n\nAs technological innovation continues to advance, media organisations must keep pace with these developments while strengthening their capacity to harness science and technology as tools for innovation, support and transformation.\n\nThe broader objective, as emphasised in China's media development strategy, is to move radio and television organisations into the mainstream digital environment, where audiences increasingly access information, entertainment and public affairs content.\n\nUltimately, the emerging \"one person, one device\" approach illustrates how dramatically the newsroom is evolving. A journalist who once needed an entire production crew can now collect, process and package content for multiple platforms using a single device supported by AI-powered applications.\n\nYet, while technology may simplify production processes and expand the possibilities of storytelling, journalism remains fundamentally a human-centred profession.\n\nThe ability to verify information, exercise editorial judgement, provide context, hold power to account and tell stories with empathy cannot simply be delegated to machines.\n\nFor media organisations across the world including the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) where I work, therefore, the challenge is not whether to embrace AI, but how to integrate it responsibly without compromising the credibility, independence and human values that underpin journalism.",

"title": "Kenya calls for action-oriented Africa-EU partnership",
"body": "Kenya has called for a renewed and action-oriented partnership between Africa and Europe, anchored in mutual respect, equitable cooperation and tangible outcomes for citizens.\n\nSpeaking during the opening of the Regional Seminar of Heads of European Union (EU) Delegations to African countries in Nairobi, Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs Dr. Korir Sing'oei welcomed more than 40 EU Ambassadors serving across the continent.\n\nThe seminar takes place in a landmark year as Kenya and the European Union commemorate 50 years of diplomatic partnership, dating back to the establishment of the European Community Delegation in Nairobi in 1976.\n\nOver the decades, the relationship has evolved from development cooperation into a broad strategic partnership encompassing trade and investment, digital transformation, climate action, migration and mobility, governance, and peace and security.\n\nThe Principal Secretary highlighted the growing economic dividends of the relationship, noting that the EU remains Kenya's largest export market, accounting for approximately one-fifth of the country's exports.\n\nTrade has grown by approximately 20 per cent since the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) entered into force in July 2024, with Kenya's horticultural exports, particularly flowers, continuing to support hundreds of thousands of livelihoods.\n\nAdditionally, he underscored recent milestones, including the launch of a ten-year strategy to implement the EPA, Kenya's first Digital Dialogue with the EU in March 2026, and the designation of the EU Delegation in Nairobi as the Union's fourth Regional Hub in Africa.\n\nThese developments further reinforce Nairobi's standing as a centre for diplomacy, multilateral engagement and regional cooperation.\n\nTurning to the wider Africa-Europe relationship, Dr. Sing'oei challenged the participants to translate the commitments made at the 7th African Union-European Union Summit in Luanda in November 2025 into measurable outcomes.\n\nHe identified five priority areas for deeper cooperation: trade and value addition; investment and innovative financing; peace and security; people and mobility; and climate action and multilateralism.\n\nOn trade, Kenya called for partnerships that advance Africa's industrialisation and regional integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), enabling African countries to move beyond the export of raw materials towards greater value addition and participation in global value chains.\n\nOn investment, the Principal Secretary highlighted the transformative potential of the EU's Global Gateway initiative, while emphasising the need for accessible concessional and blended financing that supports Africa's development ambitions without exacerbating debt vulnerabilities.\n\nOn peace and security, he reaffirmed Kenya's commitment to African-led solutions, recognising the importance of sustained international support for peace operations, mediation and stabilisation efforts across the continent. He also acknowledged the EU's continued support to African peace initiatives and its contribution to refugee-hosting communities in Kenya.\n\nThe Principal Secretary further called for expanded opportunities for safe, orderly and regular labour mobility, particularly for Africa's youthful population, noting that structured skills partnerships can generate mutual benefits for both continents.",

"body": "Nine days after lawyer Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi went missing, the High Court has ruled that security agencies have questions to answer over his whereabouts, ordering a full hearing of an application seeking to establish the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.\n\nJustice Alexander Muteti directed that the habeas corpus application filed by Abdi's brother, Zachary Abshir, proceeds to a substantive hearing after State agencies denied holding the advocate in custody.\n\nThe judge said the disappearance of a Kenyan citizen cannot be left unresolved merely because security agencies deny having the person in their custody.\n\n\"The institutions that are charged with the responsibility of securing Kenyans and their property cannot escape responsibility whenever a person is missing, and they return to say we do not have him in our custody,\" Justice Muteti ruled.\n\nThe court directed that the applicant be allowed to take the witness stand and present evidence against the respondents, who will then have an opportunity to respond to the allegations.\n\n\"The matter cannot therefore be put to a hold simply because the subject has not been produced. It is only fair that the applicant be heard on his application without any further delay and the respondents be called to answer,\" the judge said.\n\nThe ruling followed an earlier appearance by State representatives, who presented four witnesses to explain why they could not produce Abdi in court as directed.\n\nThrough their lawyer, Senior Counsel Paul Nyamodi, the respondents maintained that Abdi was not in their custody and argued that they could not produce a person they were not holding.\n\nThey also questioned the procedure adopted by the court, arguing that the applicant should first have been heard to establish a case against them before they were required to show cause.\n\nHowever, Justice Muteti clarified that issuing summons to State agencies in habeas corpus proceedings does not amount to condemning them before the matter is heard.\n\nHe explained that the procedure is intended to require authorities to account for an individual's detention where allegations of unlawful custody have been raised.\n\nThe judge said habeas corpus is a constitutional remedy protected under Article 25 of the Constitution and must be handled expeditiously because it concerns personal liberty.\n\nHe further observed that the applicant had a duty to establish that the respondents were either in actual or constructive custody of Abdi, while the State had a corresponding responsibility to justify any detention.\n\nJustice Muteti noted that evidence presented by the State during the preliminary proceedings had established that Abdi was a person of interest to security agencies and had been under investigation over, among other matters, an alleged abduction.\n\n\"The evidence tendered by the state through its witnesses in answer to the summons left no doubt in my mind that the subject was a person of interest to the state,\" he said.\n\nThe judge questioned whether security agencies could have pursued Abdi after failing to obtain court orders authorising his detention.\n\n\"The question that lingers in the mind of this court is whether it could be possible that out of frustration the respondents may have chosen to pursue the subject next to a condition,\" he observed.\n\nHe, however, said the question could only be answered after hearing evidence from the parties.\n\nAbdi's disappearance was reported after he allegedly went missing on November 1, 2026.\n\nAccording to an affidavit sworn by his brother, the advocate had informed him on October 31 that he would attend a friend's wedding in the Kilimani area.\n\nThat was the last time the family communicated with him.\n\nThe family told the court that attempts to reach Abdi the following morning were unsuccessful, with his mobile phone switched off.\n\nHis younger brother later received a telephone call from a DCI officer attached to Kilimani Police Station informing him that Abdi's vehicle, registration number KDL 356C, had been recovered abandoned in a ditch along Muchai Road near the Association of Kenya Insurers offices.\n\nThe family further claimed that members of the public witnessed the vehicle being pursued by a black Toyota Land Cruiser Prado TX and a black double-cabin vehicle.\n\nAccording to the affidavit, the occupants of the two vehicles were dressed in tactical combat uniforms, bulletproof vests and were openly armed with firearms.\n\nThe witnesses allegedly informed investigators that the occupants arrested the driver of the white vehicle and possibly dragged him into the Land Cruiser.\n\nThe family also informed the court that Abdi had previously been arrested on October 9, 2025, by officers from the Counter-Terrorism Police Unit, who were later joined by officers from the National Intelligence Service and military intelligence.\n\nHe was, however, released unconditionally after the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions declined to approve an application for custodial orders.\n\nThe applicant further alleged that Abdi had complained about intimidation following the earlier arrest, which he linked to his role as a witness in a criminal case at Makadara Law Courts.\n\nSenior Counsel Eric Theuri led the legal team representing the applicant, with the Law Society of Kenya also participating in the proceedings.\n\nThe court declined to make a final finding on whether the State had satisfactorily explained its failure to produce Abdi, saying doing so before hearing the substantive application could prejudice the outcome.\n\n\"I deliberately elect not to deal with the question as to whether or not the explanation offered by the state so far for failing to produce the subject is satisfactory unless I be accused of prejudicing the outcome of the matter before the same is substantively heard. That shall await final determination of this matter,\" Justice Muteti said.\n\nHe emphasised that the purpose of the proceedings was to establish the legality of any detention and determine whether the missing advocate's constitutional rights had been violated.\n\n\"The applicant is now at liberty to take the witness stand and lay out his case against the respondents. It is so ordered,\" the judge ruled.",

"body": "Football fans heading to Talanta Sports City for the January 5, 2027, friendly between Bayern Munich and Ajax will have a new transport option, with the government promising to complete a railway connection to the stadium by December 15.\n\nThe 13.3-kilometre railway line linking Nairobi Central Station to Talanta Sports City is expected to cut travel time from the Central Business District to the stadium to about 15 minutes.\n\nTransport Principal Secretary Mohamed Daghar announced the completion target during an inspection tour of the ongoing construction works.\n\n\"By December 15, we will have this line ready,\" Daghar said.\n\nThe government plans to use the railway to move large numbers of spectators to and from the stadium during the highly anticipated match.\n\nDaghar said the service would transport up to 1,500 passengers every 10 minutes, with trains operating in both directions at the same interval.\n\n\"We anticipate using this line to come and watch the game on January 5. We are going to be evacuating 1500 passengers every 10 minutes to come and watch the game. Every 10 minutes there are going to be a train, whether bringing you in or out,\" he said.\n\nTrains are expected to operate at speeds of up to 60 kilometres per hour, offering an alternative to road transport for fans attending events at the facility.\n\nThe railway will have four stations along the route. These will be located near Nyayo Stadium, Mbagathi, Kibera and Talanta Sports City.\n\nDaghar identified Kibera as the main station along the connection.\n\n\"Kibera is our major station. Other stations will be near Nyayo Stadium, Mbagathi, and Talanta Sports City,\" he said.\n\nThe project involves extensive rehabilitation of the existing railway infrastructure, which Daghar described as an overhaul of a line that had been in existence for more than a century.\n\nThe works include replacing steel sleepers with concrete ones and upgrading the drainage system.\n\nA spur line is also being constructed from Kibera Station to connect the railway to Talanta Sports City.\n\nKenya Railways is further installing pedestrian overpasses and underpasses at Kibera, Laini Saba, Gatwekera and Kambi Muru to improve access and safety for people crossing the railway corridor.\n\nA wall will also be erected along the railway line as part of measures to protect the infrastructure.\n\nThe connection is expected to be ready ahead of the January friendly and the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, scheduled for July.",

"title": "Al Qasimi reimagines old classic for children in new book at the Sharjah International book fair",
"body": "A children book depicting the environmental destruction and pressures that has driven down bird populations along the world's migration routes has been launched.\n\nThe new book is using a story of vanishing forests and darkening skies to convey a similar warning to young readers.\n\nThe book; the Conference of the Birds, was launched at the ongoing 45th Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF) in the United Arab Emirates, follows a flock that sets out to save its disappearing home.\n\nSheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, founder and CEO of Kalimat Group, launched the book as part of the major activities within the event this year.\n\n\"Set in a world where forests are disappearing and the skies are darkening with pollution, the story explores humanity's responsibility to protect nature and the power of collective action to bring about change,\" said Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi during the launch.\n\nThe book has just been launched, weeks after a major global assessment sounded the alarm. Birdlife International's State of the World's Birds report found that 45 percent of the world's 1,843 migratory bird species are in decline, and one in nine is threatened with extinction. The report was launched at the Global Flyways Summit, co-hosted by Nature Kenya.\n\nIn the story, birds from across the world gather beneath the mysterious Waq Waq tree after a wise hoopoe calls them together. With forests vanishing and smoke clouding the skies, they journey through seven valleys towards Mount Qaf, home of the legendary Simorgh, hoping it can tell them how to save their world. Along the way they face their fears and learn that they cannot succeed alone.\n\nThe story's idea that birds from across the world must come together because no single flock can solve the problem alone reflects the message of conservationists, who say migratory birds can only be protected if countries act together along the routes the birds' travel.\n\nWritten in Arabic and English for readers aged 8 to 12, the book is published by Kalimat Group and illustrated by Iranian artist Noushin Sadeghian. The book reimagines a classic poem by the Persian poet Farid al-Din Attar of Nishapur. Attar wrote the original in the 12th century as a Sufi allegory about a group of birds led by a hoopoe. In the poem, only 30 birds reach their goal.\n\nSheikha Bodour keeps the original's characters and symbols but shifts the focus from spiritual enlightenment to humanity's responsibility to protect nature and the power of collective action.\n\nThe 45th Sharjah International Book Fair is currently taking place under the theme, Made of Stories. The 12-day event brings together millions of books, thousands of publishers, and global literary figures.",

"title": "High Court rules police have case to answer over missing lawyer Abshir Abdi",
"body": "Nine days after lawyer Abshir Ahmedsadak Abdi went missing, the High Court has ruled that security agencies have questions to answer over his whereabouts, ordering a full hearing of an application seeking to establish the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.\n\nJustice Alexander Muteti directed that the habeas corpus application filed by Abdi's brother, Zachary Abshir, proceeds to a substantive hearing after State agencies denied holding the advocate in custody.\n\nThe judge said the disappearance of a Kenyan citizen cannot be left unresolved merely because security agencies deny having the person in their custody.\n\n\"The institutions that are charged with the responsibility of securing Kenyans and their property cannot escape responsibility whenever a person is missing, and they return to say we do not have him in our custody,\" Justice Muteti ruled.\n\nThe court directed that the applicant be allowed to take the witness stand and present evidence against the respondents, who will then have an opportunity to respond to the allegations.\n\n\"The matter cannot therefore be put to a hold simply because the subject has not been produced. It is only fair that the applicant be heard on his application without any further delay and the respondents be called to answer,\" the judge said.\n\nThe ruling followed an earlier appearance by State representatives, who presented four witnesses to explain why they could not produce Abdi in court as directed.\n\nThrough their lawyer, Senior Counsel Paul Nyamodi, the respondents maintained that Abdi was not in their custody and argued that they could not produce a person they were not holding.\n\nThey also questioned the procedure adopted by the court, arguing that the applicant should first have been heard to establish a case against them before they were required to show cause.\n\nHowever, Justice Muteti clarified that issuing summons to State agencies in habeas corpus proceedings does not amount to condemning them before the matter is heard.\n\nHe explained that the procedure is intended to require authorities to account for an individual's detention where allegations of unlawful custody have been raised.\n\nThe judge said habeas corpus is a constitutional remedy protected under Article 25 of the Constitution and must be handled expeditiously because it concerns personal liberty.\n\nHe further observed that the applicant had a duty to establish that the respondents were either in actual or constructive custody of Abdi, while the State had a corresponding responsibility to justify any detention.\n\nJustice Muteti noted that evidence presented by the State during the preliminary proceedings had established that Abdi was a person of interest to security agencies and had been under investigation over, among other matters, an alleged abduction.\n\n\"The evidence tendered by the state through its witnesses in answer to the summons left no doubt in my mind that the subject was a person of interest to the state,\" he said.\n\nThe judge questioned whether security agencies could have pursued Abdi after failing to obtain court orders authorising his detention.\n\n\"The question that lingers in the mind of this court is whether it could be possible that out of frustration the respondents may have chosen to pursue the subject next to a condition,\" he observed.\n\nHe, however, said the question could only be answered after hearing evidence from the parties.\n\nAbdi's disappearance was reported after he allegedly went missing on November 1, 2026.\n\nAccording to an affidavit sworn by his brother, the advocate had informed him on October 31 that he would attend a friend's wedding in the Kilimani area.\n\nThat was the last time the family communicated with him.\n\nThe family told the court that attempts to reach Abdi the following morning were unsuccessful, with his mobile phone switched off.\n\nHis younger brother later received a telephone call from a DCI officer attached to Kilimani Police Station informing him that Abdi's vehicle, registration number KDL 356C, had been recovered abandoned in a ditch along Muchai Road near the Association of Kenya Insurers offices.\n\nThe family further claimed that members of the public witnessed the vehicle being pursued by a black Toyota Land Cruiser Prado TX and a black double-cabin vehicle.\n\nAccording to the affidavit, the occupants of the two vehicles were dressed in tactical combat uniforms, bulletproof vests and were openly armed with firearms.\n\nThe witnesses allegedly informed investigators that the occupants arrested the driver of the white vehicle and possibly dragged him into the Land Cruiser.\n\nThe family also informed the court that Abdi had previously been arrested on October 9, 2025, by officers from the Counter-Terrorism Police Unit, who were later joined by officers from the National Intelligence Service and military intelligence.\n\nHe was, however, released unconditionally after the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions declined to approve an application for custodial orders.\n\nThe applicant further alleged that Abdi had complained about intimidation following the earlier arrest, which he linked to his role as a witness in a criminal case at Makadara Law Courts.\n\nSenior Counsel Eric Theuri led the legal team representing the applicant, with the Law Society of Kenya also participating in the proceedings.\n\nThe court declined to make a final finding on whether the State had satisfactorily explained its failure to produce Abdi, saying doing so before hearing the substantive application could prejudice the outcome.\n\n\"I deliberately elect not to deal with the question as to whether or not the explanation offered by the state so far for failing to produce the subject is satisfactory unless I be accused of prejudicing the outcome of the matter before the same is substantively heard. That shall await final determination of this matter,\" Justice Muteti said.\n\nHe emphasised that the purpose of the proceedings was to establish the legality of any detention and determine whether the missing advocate's constitutional rights had been violated.\n\n\"The applicant is now at liberty to take the witness stand and lay out his case against the respondents. It is so ordered,\" the judge ruled.",

"title": "'You didn't even tell your best friend'. The complications from childbirth that never go away",
"body": "From incontinence to chronic pain, millions of women are still suffering decades later.\n\nWarning: This article contains details of traumatic medical experiences some readers may find upsetting.\n\nIt's 2024 and I'm in the hospital, again. I've been in pain that even morphine can't touch for about 36 hours. As the surgeons will find out when they open me up, parts of my bowel have protruded into a gap in my stomach lining. It's caused it to perforate, leaving pus inside my entire abdomen, resulting in a dangerous infection.\n\nAs I wait for the operation, I texted my husband all my bank details, just in case I don't make it. The pain is blinding. I am retching periodically though I haven't eaten for two days.\n\nThe surgery takes five hours. I wake up at midnight, groggy in the intensive care ward, with a six-inch (15cm) incision from my belly button to my pelvis and a large drainage tube in my abdomen. How did I get here? And what does this have to do with childbirth?\n\nWhile it's well known that childbirth can be dangerous, what's less talked about are the physical issues that can last beyond those early years and affect women even decades later. While my own specific situation is rare, complications from childbirth that appear later in life are alarmingly common.\n\nIt's been estimated that globally, around 40 million women per year are affected by complications that last months or years. These can range from urinary and faecal incontinence to chronic pain, or even scar tissue that can cause life-threatening bowel problems or interfere with future fertility.\n\nSome of these issues, like mine, don't show up until years later and can persist indefinitely. I spoke to several women, as well as experts, to get a full picture of the lasting physical and mental damage childbirth can cause. I heard how women often feel they aren't listened to, or worse, feel they had no way to access treatment.\n\nI didn't intend to revisit my own experiences for this column, because I hate feeling vulnerable. But by talking about complications and creating greater awareness of both the risks of childbirth and how to access support, I hope that other women can feel more empowered to advocate for themselves.\n\nLifesaving interventions, lifelong effects\n\nIt's a tale as old as time. Childbirth is risky and can lead to complications or worse, for mother and child. Luckily maternal deaths have become rarer in many parts of the world. Between 2000 and 2023, the ratio of maternal deaths to live births dropped by 40% globally.\n\nYet the focus on reducing maternal deaths has meant that the longer-term effects of labour and childbirth often receive too little attention, according to a major 2024 global review by a team of international researchers.\n\nJoshua Vogel, a perinatal epidemiologist at the Burnet Institute in Australia and lead author of the review, said it's worrying how many women are unable to advocate for support for themselves, especially because it can be unclear what is normal, and what should be looked at. \"It blew my mind how mind-bogglingly diverse these complications are,\" he says.\n\nAdhesions\n\nIn my case, things began with an emergency caesarean section.\n\nFour days after my daughter was born, I was back in hospital undergoing another emergency surgery. My stitches had come fully undone and I suffered a serious complication with my bowels. It was traumatic and classed as a medical \"never event\" as it was so rare. But I was delighted my tiny newborn daughter was fine, so I put it behind me and focused on how lucky it was that we were both OK.\n\nSeven years passed, including another pregnancy, and everything seemed back to normal. Then one Wednesday afternoon I had an onset of sudden abdominal pain that gradually worsened. I was working and remember joining a video call lying down on bed and with my camera off, hoping it would soon pass. By 16:30, I texted my husband \"it's really bad, I can see my stomach moving\". I still just thought I had a bad stomach bug. Though in hindsight, I realise I was no longer thinking rationally.\n\nThat's perhaps why I somehow mustered the energy to collect the children from school, even lifting my child's bike into my car. But the pain just got worse. Eventually, my husband contacted his sister, who is a doctor. She said it could be adhesions - scar tissue - from my caesarean, causing an obstruction within my intestines. When I began vomiting, she instructed me to call an ambulance. There were none available so I took a taxi, even though by this point I could barely stand.\n\nAt the hospital, a bowel obstruction was confirmed. The original caesarean, followed by the medical error that led to my second surgery, had left substantial scar tissue inside my abdomen which was now constricting the flow of blood to my bowels.\n\nSometimes obstructions go away on their own, so I spent an excruciating 36 hours waiting to see if I would need surgery. On the second day, my temperature spiked and my blood test showed that the levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation, had risen dangerously from 1 to 311 (a normal level is below 5). The decision was made to operate as soon as possible (though \"soon\", in a busy hospital, took another painful five hours...).\n\nAfterwards, the surgeon told me how well the surgery had gone, though it was more complex than they had realised. They cut out 60cm (23.5in) of the part of my bowel that had been deprived of blood and oxygen, but the surgery had saved my life. Again, with time I healed well and the stoic in me thought, \"it could have been worse\".\n\nBut the medical complications were not over.\n\nMajor abdominal surgery\n\nWorldwide, caesarean sections are on the rise and account for about 21% of all births. In some countries this figure rises to 58% (Dominican Republic). In the US it's over 32%. Caesarean sections can be vital to protect the health of mother and child, but they can come with an increased risk of complications, says Soo Downe, professor of midwifery at the University of Lancashire.\n\nWhen there are complications, they may not materialise immediately. A US study that followed 43,646 mothers for 50 years found that those who had caesarean sections had a 16% higher risk of dying during that time than those who delivered vaginally. They also had a higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory disease, infections and kidney disease.\n\nStefanie Hinkle, a perinatal epidemiologist from the University of Pennsylvania in the US and co-author of the study says it isn't yet clear why. Women who had caesareans were more likely to be older, have a higher BMI, smoke, or have diabetes or other pre-existing conditions, but the link remained after the researchers accounted for these factors.\n\nOne possibility is that a caesarean is a marker of poorer overall health. \"Another is that the surgery itself affects long-term health, for example through complications such as infection, blood clots or cardiovascular events, or through scar tissue and complications in later pregnancies,\" says Hinkle.\n\nClearly, there are numerous long-term risks associated with cesarean sections. They can result in a greater risk of an ectopic pregnancy, which is where a fertilised egg grows outside the uterus. Scarring from caesareans can increase the risk of placenta accreta, where the placenta attaches too deeply into the wall of the uterus.\n\nI, and many women I know, didn't give the risks much thought because caesarean sections have become so normalised, making it easy to forget that it's a major abdominal surgery.\n\nLack of follow-up\n\nIn a cruel irony, the surgical treatment I needed after the first bowel obstruction created yet more scar tissue inside my abdomen. That's why four months later, the same issue occurred and I was back in the operating theatre undergoing another emergency operation. Luckily there was no infection or perforation this time as the team opened me up that same day. I was told it could happen again tomorrow, several decades later or never again, as I now have a lifelong risk of future occurrences.\n\nAnyone who undergoes abdominal surgery can develop scar tissue, as my case shows. One 2017 study of women from Sweden found that 37% of women who had previously had a cesarean had abdominal adhesions, compared to 10% of women who hadn't had one before.\n\nAs adhesions can bind internal organs together, they can result in abdominal pain and bowel obstructions, as well as a slight increased risk of maternal and infant mortality in future pregnancies, a risk that's higher when it's an emergency delivery. Adhesions can also make further caesarean sections surgically complicated, increasing the risk of bladder and bowel lacerations. The fact that caesarean sections are increasing means that more women could be at risk of complications, says Downe.\n\nVaginal births can cause lasting physical damage\n\nNumerous complications can arise with vaginal births too.\n\nHeather Barnes, now in her mid-70s, suffered from a fourth-degree tear when her daughter was born over 40 years ago. This means that the anal sphincter, the muscle which holds in gas and poo, is torn - as well as the lining of the anus or rectum.\n\nBarnes lives with chronic pain and complications to this day. Forceps, which are curved metal instruments like large tweezers, were used to help get her daughter out as she was stuck. This has caused her to have faecal incontinence, perineal pain and pudendal nerve damage. \"I'm in pain every single day. I don't get a day off really,\" she says.\n\nBarnes' experience is far from unique. Both urinary and faecal incontinence are extremely common in the decades after childbirth, particularly in women who give birth vaginally. One study looking at women 20-26 years after childbirth, found that 61% experienced urinary incontinence, 22% faecal incontinence and 17% had symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse.\n\nSuzanne Hagen, a professor of health services research at Glasgow Caledonian University in the UK and lead author of the study, says that what's not visible in these statistics is the devastating effects these problems have on these women's lives, on their relationships and their ability to work.\n\nBarnes, for instance, felt too traumatised to have another child and was not able to return to work. \"The stress of always knowing at any time I could have an accident is just so awful,\" she told me. At the time, no one spoke about incontinence or pain. \"You didn't even tell your best friend,\" she says.\n\nIt's estimated that up to 90% of women will have at least some tearing, grazing or an episiotomy - a cut between the vagina and anus, to create a larger opening for the baby's head - during vaginal childbirth. Births requiring instruments such as forceps or ventouse - a device that's attached to the baby's head using suction - are associated with significantly higher rates of tears. Deeper tears come with a higher risk of urinary or faecal incontinence, pain during sex, or a need for reconstructive surgery.\n\nWomen of South Asian origin are at higher risk of vaginal tears. A fact that Kajal Da Silva, a mother of one, was not aware of until she suffered a fourth-degree tear.\n\n\"It's like your whole life then revolves around your injury still,\" says Da Silva, now six years on from her birth injury. \"I wouldn't be able to make plans without me figuring out what I'm going to eat, what I eat, what I'm doing the next day, planning my journey to make sure there's a toilet en route.\"\n\nDa Silva still has chronic pelvic pain, can't sit and stand for long and does not plan on having any more children. \"There is no way I would allow myself mentally to even think about having another child,\" she says.\n\nChronic pain\n\nWhether a delivery was vaginal or caesarean, pain is common in the years after childbirth. This can be caused by damage to the pudendal nerve, which runs through the pelvis and controls movement and sensation to that area, including the genitals, anus, and urethra.\n\nIt's been well-documented that women's pain is not always taken seriously by healthcare professionals. A 2024 UK report on birth trauma, for example, mentions an incident in which an obstetrician reportedly told a midwife that \"women do not have nerves in their vagina\" while stitching a patient who had not been given adequate pain relief.\n\nBarnes explains that she only found out about pudendal nerve pain from a newspaper. \"No one believed that I'd really got pain,\" she says.\n\nMental health\n\nSome consequences of childbirth that endure are not physical, but psychological. The two are known to be linked. Indeed, a negative experience of childbirth is recognised as a major risk factor for developing mental health problems after birth, as well as a persistent fear of childbirth.\n\nDimple Mistry a mother of two, still has flashbacks and triggers that take her back to the trauma of her fourth-degree tear six years ago. She was given a stoma - an opening in the abdomen that allows faeces and gas to be diverted out that way - after her stitches came apart and became infected.\n\n\"I was passing faeces through my vagina, and I knew something wasn't right,\" says Mistry.\n\nAs a result of Mistry's experiences, when she was pregnant with her second child, she explains that one of her biggest fears was walking into hospital and dying during childbirth - and that fear had a big impact on her.\n\nMistry's stoma was reversed but she now suffers from bowel urgency, chronic abdominal pain and pelvic pain due to adhesions at the site of the surgery. \"I think basically my bowel is stuck to my stomach wall. So when food passes, it's not able to move freely,\" she says, which results in ongoing abdominal pain.\n\nAnd while there's now greater awareness of postnatal mental health in the year after birth, less understood is that many women continue to suffer with their mental health years later.\n\nOne analysis found that about 4.5% of women continued to have depressive symptoms throughout the three-year follow up period. About 10-15% of new mothers are estimated to have depression, which is the most common postpartum mental health condition. Other conditions include anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and postpartum psychosis.\n\nNeya Joshi, also a mother of two, developed PTSD following her treatment on the postnatal ward after an emergency C-section in 2020. She was left feeling abandoned and unsupported. Due to support from a perinatal psychologist, she recovered from it one year postpartum.\n\n\"I was physically unable to look after myself, let alone my newborn baby, yet I was left having to manage everything alone,\" says Joshi. Due to support from a perinatal psychologist, she recovered from the PTSD one year postpartum but went on to develop premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), which causes intense feelings of depression and hopelessness one or two weeks before a period. The two conditions are often linked, research has found.\n\nJoshi's mental health symptoms became more severe after the birth of her second child, affecting her day-to-day life. \"I tend to suffer with fatigue, intense irritability, low mood, anxiety, insomnia and nightmares. Living this half-life whilst raising two young children has been challenging,\" she says.\n\nLike the others I spoke to, Joshi also struggled to get the right diagnosis and support. She has since trained as a postnatal doula and is determined help others affected by postpartum issues.\n\nAdvocating for support\n\nClearly, there's no quick fix for many of the complications after childbirth, but knowing what support is available can be an important first step.\n\nIn a 2019 report looking into women's experiences of care after pelvic organ prolapse, a team of researchers based in the UK found that many delayed seeking help. This was partly because they felt embarrassed or felt their symptoms were dismissed. One woman suffered for 30 years and only went to her doctor when symptoms got worse.\n\nA major reason so many women suffer for years is because it's common for care to focus on the baby, and not on the mother, meaning women often feel alone or lack information and support.\n\nAlison Stuebe, professor of obstetrics at the University of North Carolina, wrote in a report: \"It is as though the baby is the candy, the mum is the wrapper. After the candy is out, the wrapper, we cast it aside.\"\n\nPart of the problem is that women are usually only offered a few check-ups after birth (though policies vary per country), says Vogel, meaning any lingering issues afterwards can be missed. It's therefore unclear how long many women continue to suffer before seeking support, if they do so. \"We're not even really sure what goes on for everybody after birth,\" he says.\n\nOne recent survey found that women overwhelmingly felt that there was \"a need for extended follow up\" a year post birth. Of course, many new parents simply don't have the time to think about themselves at all when caring for a child.\n\nThis is coupled with misconceptions about the period following childbirth. \"A big element is the expectation that some discomfort or impaired function is normal,\" says Vogel. He explains that it's common for women to simply expect complications and to think: \"Well, this is how it is for me now... I'm going to pee when I cough or, I can't run...\"\n\nAmong the women I spoke to, Da Silva found that physiotherapy was helpful for easing some of her symptoms but had to pay privately for treatment. Being able to monitor the progress of her physical recovery helped her mental health too. \"When you can physically see it for yourself that things are improving, that's when things change,\" she says. She also benefited from support groups, one of which she now runs herself. \"You're able to meet women in your local area that have had the same injuries as you and you're not isolated.\"\n\nBarnes also describes how validation and the importance of being believed helped her cope, especially as her pain was dismissed for years. \"Being told by the doctor years ago that I was a rather silly, neurotic woman will stay with me for ever,\" she says. Her advice for other women is to never stop fighting to be listened to. \"These injuries are like a cruel thief that steals your life. Don't let it take over your whole being,\" she says.\n\nIn my case, I didn't initially know what adhesions were - no one had ever mentioned that I was at higher risk after my previous surgeries.\n\nDespite all that's happened, I still feel lucky that after each complication I recovered well and experience no day-to-day pain. I also learned first-hand how important it is to advocate for yourself to get the medical help you need.\n\nDay to day, I rarely revisit the trauma or risk. But when I get an occasional stomach ache, I do find myself thinking about what another hospital trip might involve and what I'll say to get seen urgently.\n\nAs many experts told me, knowledge can be powerful. I therefore hope that by sharing these insights, others know what to look out for, as well as when to seek support.",

"body": "The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) has identified 10 of the 25 bodies recovered from River Yala through DNA tests involving samples from 82 family members.\n\nIPOA Chairperson Dr Duncan Ojwang' said the authority had worked with affected families to establish the identities of the victims as part of investigations into the deaths and efforts to secure justice.\n\nSpeaking during the handover of a report to the Panel of Experts on Compensation of Victims of Demonstrations and Public Protests, Ojwang said IPOA had completed its investigations into the River Yala deaths and submitted its findings to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) for review.\n\nHowever, the ODPP advised IPOA to forward the investigation file to the police for further investigations into possible criminal culpability in the deaths.\n\n\"IPOA had witnessed 25 bodies, met and had processed DNA matching of some family members to identify the bodies, with ten bodies positively matching the DNA after considering 82 family members,\" Ojwang said.\n\nThe IPOA boss said the authority wanted to share its findings and information about the victims with the panel to facilitate further action and ensure justice for affected families. \"We want to hand over the file on who the victims were and IPOA's findings so that the panel can process the rest of the information for the sake of justice,\" he said.\n\nOjwang said investigations and compensation were complementary processes, adding that IPOA would not stand in the way of families seeking redress.\n\nHe maintained that the authority's mandate remained focused on accountability, human rights, human dignity and the protection of life.\n\nMeanwhile, Panel Chairperson Prof Makau Mutua said the committee had processed 1,392 claims, with hundreds of victims already receiving compensation.\n\nThe panel has compensated families in 236 cases involving fatalities. More than 700 victims who sustained injuries have also received compensation, ranging from severe to minor injuries.\n\nIt has additionally processed more than 140 claims involving economic losses and 16 claims related to sexual violence.\n\nMakau said the compensation exercise was guided by accountability, transparency and fairness. He urged individuals and families affected by deaths, injuries or economic losses during demonstrations and public protests to submit their claims.\n\n\"Our doors are open to make claims on either death, injuries or compensation,\" he said.\n\nHe added that the panel had travelled across the country to engage affected families and offer support. Its visits included the family of protest victim Rex Maasai and another affected family in Mwingi North.\n\nMakau said the visits were conducted with the consent of the families.\n\nOn transparency, he said the panel planned to publish details of compensation recipients while complying with data protection laws and safeguarding sensitive personal information. \"We shall publish information, with certain identities and details redacted to protect the victims, so that the public can see the full list of those who have received compensation,\" he said.\n\nHe acknowledged the need to balance public accountability with victims' safety and privacy, particularly in cases involving sexual violence and other sensitive incidents.\n\nMakau said the panel remained accountable to the public and was prepared to respond to questions about its work.",
