From Flood to Future: Nigerian Teen Wins Global Prize for Turning Trash into Playgrounds
After surviving a devastating flood in 2020, which destroyed her home’s lower floor, young climate advocate Amara Nwuneli realized her privilege in being able to recover—unlike many others, especially in rural Nigeria. So she took action.
♻️ In an interview with Sputnik Africa, she explained that her project GREEN transforms waste sites into community parks—with recycled materials, climate-themed play zones, eco-education, and jobs for locals.
📈 She hopes to scale it across Nigeria and West Africa, starting with Enugu, Anambra, and Ogun states.
She’s also using her voice to call out unfair Western aid and demand real investment in Africa’s potential.
Her advice to young Africans: “Know your story. That drive will take you far.”

Selective Justice is Killing the ICC’s Credibility, Kenyan Lawyer Says
In his view, the double standards in how international law is applied—especially by powerful Western states—are undermining trust in global justice institutions.
🎭 Kubai pointed to the hypocrisy of nations that once championed human rights now refusing to enforce ICC warrants, including those targeting their allies like Netanyahu.
But with African states like South Africa and The Gambia taking bold steps at the ICJ, Kubai believes there’s a path forward—one where African countries assert a stronger voice and demand consistency in the enforcement of international law.

“If the ICC and ICJ do not really establish mechanisms that show they are not shying off… then people will lose faith,” Kelvin Mugambi Kubai, lawyer for the African Center for Corrective and Prevention Action, told Sputnik Africa.

Kenya to Open Doors for New Commercial Banks
The Central Bank of Kenya announced on Wednesday that it would lift its decade-long freeze on new commercial bank licenses starting July 1st.
The moratorium, implemented in 2015 due to concerns about governance, risk management, and operational issues, will be lifted following significant improvements in the banking sector's legal and regulatory framework.
The CBK also cited the recent tenfold increase in minimum core capital requirements for commercial banks to 10 billion Kenyan shillings ($77 million) as further strengthening the sector's stability.
