US Sanctions Network Accused of Trafficking Kenyans

A Kenyan fundraiser in the UK is raising money for dementia support and urging families to seek medical help for memory loss, while a new Kenyan diplomat has taken up a post in Ottawa. Separately, the U.S. sanctioned a Cambodia-based network accused of trafficking Kenyans into forced labor at online scam compounds. In the Western Pacific, the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group visited Singapore before an expected transit toward the Middle East, amid regional naval exercises and activity involving U.S., allied and Chinese forces. In Australia, opposition communications spokeswoman Sarah Henderson criticized the government’s proposed Digital Duty of Care bill, arguing it could threaten free speech and weaken existing online-safety requirements; the government says the measure is intended to protect people from technology companies.
