Newsday Essentials
Newsday Essentials looks at the UN's decision to adopt a more accurate map of Africa after a campaign led by Togo. Plus, foreign nationals in Kenya react to a government crackdown on foreigners operating small businesses, and a Ugandan designer explains a gown inspired by Caesarean sections.
This week on Newsday Essentials, Togo's Foreign Minister Robert Dussey discusses
the UN General Assembly's decision to adopt a world map that more accurately
reflects Africa's size, and the potential impact on education, digital mapping and the
continent's role in global diplomacy. Also, foreign nationals in Kenya describe the
impact of a government crackdown on foreigners operating small-scale businesses,
as the government gives them 90 days to regularise their immigration status, work
permits and business licences. Finally, a Ugandan fashion designer explains how her
"Layers of Life" gown, inspired by the seven anatomical layers involved in a
Caesarean section, aims to raise awareness of maternal health and challenge stigma
surrounding C-sections.
