Egyptian Brokered Ceasefire halts 11-Day Israel Palestine Conflict

Israel Palestine conflict came to a tumultuous halt after Egypt brokered a truce on Thursday.

The end of war came in the wake of increased international call for ceasefire. Egyptian brokered ceasefire came into effect on Friday.

News of ceasefire was met with celebration from Palestinians. Hundreds gathered to celebrate end of conflict at Al Aqsa Mosque after Morning Prayer. Israel stated that Egypt pleaded for the end in conflict and the agreement “will be mutual and unconditional”.

Some leaders have criticized Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over destroying infrastructures in Gaza. 

Israel security Cabinet approved the truce to ending offensive on Gaza after heeding to Egypt’s demand. Egypt plans to send delegation to Israel and Palestine to monitor upholding of ceasefire.

According to Al Jazeera News Network, 233 Palestinians have succumbed to Israel attacks, including 65 children. Rockets fired from Gaza have killed 12 people in Israel within the 11 horrible days. 

There were fewer fatalities in Israel, credit to their state of the art Iron Dome Defense System that repulsed rocket assaults. The Israel Military had precision tools to bomb specific targets such as buildings and few hideouts. 

Hamas rocket attack from populated areas was a humanitarian violation, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres complained. The UN CEO was equally shocked with “Israel bombardment on Gaza”.

Guteress was moved by the lives of children who perish in Gaza after attack. “If there’s hell on earth, then it is the lives of children in Gaza,” UN Secretary General Guteress lamented.

Israel Military is acclaimed as the second most equipped in the world, after US. Israelis battle for the full ownership of Jerusalem has always generated a rift between them and Palestinians. 

US President Joe Biden has committed to working with UN in humanitarian support in Gaza. US Secretary General Antony Blinken Plans trip to Middle East after truce. 

UN Security Council had convened a special meeting to discuss the Israel Palestine conflict and deliberate on the end in conflict. 

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson welcomed news of ceasefire in Israel Gaza conflict and urged the regional leaders to find a durable solution that prevents terrorism and stop the cycle of conflict.

Johnson’s statement coincided with an appeal from British Labor MP Richard Burgon to UK government to impose sanctions on the Israel government and stop its weaponry sale to the country over its bombardment on Gaza.

How Human Noise Kills Marine Species, as revealed by Scientists

Scientists have warned that the discord of noise made by humans is harming marine species .  A comprehensive assessment revealed that large noise from human activities was as harmful as pollution, overfishing and climate change .  The study that was conducted by the Journal Science exposed how marine animals can hear from far distances than they can see or smell. According to a report published in the Guardian, most of the marine life uses sound to catch prey as well as attracting a mating partner.  Prof Carlos Duarte of King Abdullah University in Saudi Arabia argued that: “Marine animal can only sea up to around 10 meters, smell up to around a hundred meters, but they can hear across the entire ocean basins.” The research concluded that sound “is very important in the marine ecosystems, and noise is pervasive, affecting animals at all levels .” The increasing cacophony in the marine habitat is interfering with how marine animals respond to various survival...

Carbon dioxide to Make Jet Fuel, Study Reveals

Photo Source: twitter.com Aircrafts release a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which contributes to climate change. A research that was conducted by Science News and reported on December, 22 2020 stated that there was a new iron-based catalyst that has been invented to convert carbon dioxide into jet fuel. It is only a matter of time that carbon dioxide pumped to the atmosphere by planes could be sucked and used to power the same. The air travel’s footprint in carbon emissions could be tremendously curtailed, if the carbon dioxide that is released is recycled to generate fuel. As per Science News reports, Air transport contributes to about 12 percent of the entire transportation carbon-related emissions. Unlike cars, aircrafts cannot carry bigger batteries which can be run on electricity generated from wind or solar panels. The current breakthrough in the conversion of carbon dioxide to fuel involves cheap ingredients such as iron and transformed through a single s...

Why Mt Kenya Leaders are wary about Change of Guard

As 2022 succession battle gains momentum in Kenya, leaders drawn from Mt Kenya region have become more concerned of their political future and survival. Mt Kenya region is predominantly occupied by the agikuyu, ameru and aembu communities. The region has produced three out of the four presidents. It boosts about the tyranny of numbers, thus making the region a battle ground for leaders from other region seeking to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta.  Central alone produced Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta as presidents. The only other Kenyan president drawn out of the region was Daniel Arap Moi. In the recent past, the region has gone against the tide of State operatives as a sign of revolt over what they term as negligence from the government, despite electing one of their own to the much coveted seat.  Deputy President William Ruto has taken advantage of the brewing rebellion through making serious political forays in Central and its vicinity. ODM leader Rail...
