Thursday, June 11, 2026 - The British High Commission in Kenya has firmly denied allegations that personnel from the British Army Training Unit in Kenya (BATUK) were involved in policing protests in Nanyuki on Tuesday, June 9th.In a statement released on Thursday, June 11th, the Commission clarified: “No BATUK personnel were involved in the policing of protests in Nanyuki on 9th June 2026.”The denial comes after images circulated online suggesting individuals in British military attire were seen during the demonstrations.The Commission explained that any uniforms observed had been misappropriated and confirmed that it had raised concerns with Kenyan authorities.“British military uniform was misappropriated and we have raised concerns with the Kenyan authorities,” the statement added.The protests in Nanyuki were sparked by opposition to the establishment of a U.S.-backed Ebola quarantine centre at the Laikipia Air Base.Demonstrations turned violent, with clashes between protesters and police leading to reports of at least one fatality.Public outcry has grown over the proposed facility, with residents questioning Kenya’s selection as the host and raising fears about national health security.Despite legal challenges, the Kenyan Government appears determined to proceed with the facility.The U.S has pledged an additional Ksh2.59 billion (US$20 million) to support Ebola preparedness in Kenya and three other East African nations, bringing its total regional contribution to over Ksh28.4 billion (US$220 million).

Thursday, June 11, 2026 - American meat exporters have urged President Donald Trump’s administration to pressure Kenya into removing what they describe as restrictive trade barriers that hinder U.S exports. The appeal was made on Wednesday, June 10th, to U.S. Trade Representative Jeffrey Goettman during the ongoing review of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). In a letter seen by the media, the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) listed Kenya among African countries whose policies allegedly block American products despite enjoying duty‑free access to the U.S market. While Kenya remains technically open to U.S red meat imports, the Federation argued that exports remain minimal due to non‑tariff barriers. “Non‑tariff barriers include Kenya’s burdensome import license system, restrictions on the trans-shipment of products, a lack of clarity on import veterinary medicine residue and microbiological standards,” USMEF stated. The exporters further claimed that Kenya effectively bans U.S pork imports through a requirement for a Letter of Non‑Compete, which demands approval from domestic industry players before shipments can enter the country. They also criticized import duties on beef and pork products, saying the tariffs make it difficult for American exporters to compete. “Potential for U.S. pork exports to Kenya exists, particularly for hearts and livers. Unfortunately, Kenya effectively bans U.S. pork by maintaining a requirement for a Letter of Non‑Compete,” the Federation added. The petition urged Washington to use AGOA negotiations to address market access concerns and push African countries to remove barriers affecting U.S exports. AGOA grants African nations duty‑free access to the American market for thousands of products, but U.S exporters argue that reciprocal openness is lacking. The Kenyan DAILY POST

Thursday, June 11, 2026 - Somali referee, Omar Artan, has secured a landmark appointment with UEFA after being barred from officiating at the FIFA 2026 World Cup in the United States.Artan, who was denied entry at Miami International Airport despite holding a valid visa, was later accused by the Trump administration of alleged links to terrorist organisations.In a dramatic turnaround, UEFA has confirmed that Artan will officiate the UEFA Super Cup on August 12th in Salzburg, Austria, pitting Champions League winners, Paris Saint‑Germain, against Europa League champions, Aston Villa.The decision follows a new framework agreed between UEFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF).UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin praised Artan’s credentials, stating:“Omar Artan is an excellent young but already experienced referee, who has proven himself at the highest competition level of the Confederation of African Football.”“Football is made to connect people, and UEFA wants to show its respect to Omar and his outstanding officiating skills, which had earned him such a prestigious nomination.”“I am grateful to my friend CAF President Patrice Motsepe for supporting enthusiastically our initiative.”The appointment is historic, as UEFA has traditionally relied exclusively on European referees for the fixture.
