A new Science study suggests that variables linked to socioeconomic status—such as increased stress and reduced sleep—have strong relationships to brain structure and function in children.

Kenya army vs Kenya airforce tug of war🧵.

Three police officers were injured on Friday night after suspected Al Shabaab militants launched a coordinated attack on a Special Operations Group (SOG) camp in Fino, Lafey Sub County, Mandera County. Security reports indicate that the attackers stormed the camp under cover of night, opening fire as officers responded immediately to repel the assault. Police said the militants used Rocket Propelled Grenades and PKM machine guns during the attack, escalating the intensity of the confrontation. SOG officers engaged the attackers in a fierce firefight that lasted about 25 minutes before successfully forcing them to retreat. The injured officers were evacuated for medical treatment as security agencies launched a manhunt for the fleeing assailants. Authorities confirmed that additional security personnel have been deployed to the area as operations continue to track down the militants. Fino lies close to the Kenya Somalia border, a region that has repeatedly faced attacks attributed to suspected Al Shabaab fighters due to its strategic and porous frontier. The incident adds to a series of recent security breaches in Mandera County, where militants have attempted multiple attacks on security installations. Just days earlier, police in the same region foiled another attempted assault on the Jabi Quick Response Unit camp in Lafey Sub County after armed militants tried to overrun the facility but were repelled before breaching the base. The Special Operations Group, an elite multi-agency counter terrorism unit under the Border Patrol Unit, continues to work alongside intelligence agencies to secure Kenya’s northeastern border region.

Their maize is under the verge of drying up completely if the sun continues unleashing it's wrath like it has done recently. Is it global warming, climate change or something that will pass. Ni mbayaa!
