#Kenya Unveils New Model to Turn #Embassies into Deal-Making Hubs Kenya has introduced a new digital trade model for economic diplomacy through the launch of BiasharaLink and Deal House in Ethiopia. In a press statement on February 12, Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Musalia Mudavadi, stated that the new digital platforms were developed by Real Sources Africa to help embassies serve as active trade hubs that originate, verify, and execute cross-border deals. The new trading models are developed by Real Sources Africa, Kenya’s designated trading company for the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). According to Mudavadi, BiasharaLink is designed to enable diplomatic missions, exporters, investors, and market actors to formally capture, structure, and track trade and investment opportunities aligned with the priorities of the AfCFTA. https://thekenyatimes.com/business/money-markets/kenya-unveils-new-model-of-economic-diplomacy-in-ethiopia/

🛰 Embassies Shut, Airspace Closed: Trump’s “Four-Week” War Goes Regional Trump promised a four–five week air war. By day four, U.S. embassies are shuttered and the sky over half the region is basically a no‑go zone. Iran’s retaliation has gone wide: at least five Gulf allies report drone and missile strikes, including hits around U.S. diplomatic facilities, pushing Washington to close its embassies in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and temporarily halt operations in Beirut. Airspace is now closed or heavily restricted in at least six countries — Iran, Iraq, Kuwait and others — as aviation authorities extend bans on civilian traffic amid “ongoing security concerns.” Israel is still escalating. It claims fresh strikes on “high‑profile” targets in Tehran, including the presidential office, while also pushing ground troops deeper into Lebanon as Hezbollah answers with missiles and attack drones. Smoke over Beirut’s southern suburbs is the new backdrop to every “we don’t want an endless war” sound bite. Meanwhile, the body count keeps climbing. The Pentagon now acknowledges six U.S. service members killed with more casualties expected. Iran’s Red Crescent reports hundreds dead across more than 150 cities; Lebanon’s health ministry counts dozens of fatalities; Israel and Gulf states are adding their own numbers to a regional tally that has already broken 800 in under a week. And Trump, facing diplomats evacuated, embassies hit by drones, and airspace slammed shut, is already revising his own timeline — hinting U.S. forces can keep striking Iran “far longer” than the four–five weeks briefed by the military. The war was sold as a controlled burn. It’s behaving like what it is: an open fire in a room full of fuel, with the exits locking behind the people who were told this would be quick. #Iran#Trump#Israel#Lebanon#Hezbollah#embassies#airspace#war#MiddleEast 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
