The article discusses three critical issues: reducing rhino poaching through horn removal, the launch of the African Space Agency (AfSA) to streamline space initiatives, and the mpox outbreak in Sierra Leone. Removing rhino horns has demonstrated a 78% reduction in poaching on certain reserves, a promising conservation strategy. Meanwhile, the AfSA, supported by the African Union and international partnerships, will focus on utilizing satellites for communication, climate monitoring, and resource management. Additionally, Sierra Leone's healthcare system is under severe strain due to a surge in mpox infections, raising concerns about cross-border transmission and the implications of reduced foreign aid on health responses.
"We want to walk before we can run," says AfSA space engineer Meshack Kinyua Ndiritu, highlighting the agency's realistic approach to space initiatives.
