COVID-19 : UAE suspends flights from Tanzania, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Kenya

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced a moratorium on flights for passengers from Tanzania to Kenya, Ethiopia, and Nigeria and increased travel restrictions on Ugandan and Ghanaian flights, with effect from December 25.

The National Emergency and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) and the country's Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) have said the new measures will be implemented from 1:30 pm on Saturday night.

The move includes suspending entry of travelers to the four countries 14 days before the UAE. However flights from the UAE to those countries continue as planned.

The country has also imposed new travel restrictions on passengers arriving by direct flight from Uganda and Ghana.

These conditions include testing the COVID-19 tests within 48 hours and the PCR testing at the airport within six hours before embarking on a flight.

UAE nationals have been barred from traveling to the four African countries except for emergency medical treatment, official missions and scholarships.

Those exempted from the travel ban must submit a negative PCR test within 48 hours of their departure, immediately test the PCR at the airport six hours before departure, and have another test when they arrive in the UAE.

Tanzania recently launched another large and state-of-the-art machine to test the rapid rate of Covid -19 for travelers traveling to the United Arab Emirates, after the country asked travelers from Tanzania to Dubai, get a 48-hour test and then end with a dose of six hours before the trip.

Tech-Driven Conservation: Protecting the Congo Basin Rainforest

The Congo Basin rainforest, the world’s second-largest tropical forest, plays a crucial role in global biodiversity and climate regulation. Spanning over 500 million acres, it is home to diverse wildlife, including gorillas, forest elephants, and rare plant species. Additionally, the rainforest acts as a major carbon sink, helping mitigate climate change. However, illegal logging, mining, and agricultural expansion pose significant threats to this fragile ecosystem. Technology is emerging as a powerful tool in the fight against deforestation and habitat destruction. Advanced satellite imagery and AI-powered monitoring systems are being used to track illegal activities in real time, allowing conservationists to respond swiftly to environmental threats. Drones are also being deployed for aerial surveillance, capturing high-resolution images to assess forest health and detect deforestation hotspots. Blockchain technology is revolutionizing supply chain transparency,...
