Seven Killed in Tourist Helicopter Crash in Kenya
========================
20 August 2026

Seven people, including five Americans and Ecuador’s intelligence chief Michele Sensi-Contugi, were killed Wednesday when a tourist helicopter crashed in Kenya’s Samburu County.

The helicopter was flying to Loisaba Conservancy, a wildlife reserve and safari destination in northern Kenya, when it crashed, according to a preliminary police report.

All six passengers and the pilot died.
Ecuador’s presidential office confirmed that Sensi-Contugi and his wife, Stephany Hollihan, who held U.S. citizenship, were among the victims.

The U.S. State Department said five Americans were killed and that its embassy was providing consular assistance.

Tour operator &Beyond said the cause of the crash had not yet been determined.

The Kenya Red Cross said difficult terrain and a fire at the crash site were hampering search and recovery efforts. (Reuters)

Diaspora Members Visit GERD, Contribute More Than 1.7 Million Birr to Djibouti School Project
=========================
The Ethiopian Diaspora Service, in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, organized a special visit to the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) for Ethiopian diaspora members who have participated in the National Dialogue Conference over the past three weeks.

The diaspora members, who have also supported the GERD through fundraising, advocacy and international awareness efforts, visited the flagship hydropower project as part of their program.
For many of the participants, the visit marked their first opportunity to see the GERD in person.

During the visit, the diaspora members commended the leadership, commitment and determination demonstrated in overcoming challenges, mobilizing resources and completing the dam, which is now connected to Ethiopia’s national power grid.
The GERD was inaugurated and became operational last September. According to the Ethiopian Diaspora Service, the dam currently accounts for about 50 percent of Ethiopia’s power generation, while thousands of villages have gained access to electricity over the past year, creating new opportunities and improving livelihoods across the country.

During the fiscal year that ended in June, the Ethiopian Diaspora Service, 50 Ethiopian embassies and Ethiopian diaspora communities mobilized nearly 3.2 million U.S. dollars for the GERD through bonds and donations.

The same groups also raised 400,000 U.S. dollars for the construction of an Ethiopian Community School in Djibouti.
The spirit of solidarity continued during the GERD visit, as participating diaspora members contributed more than 1.7 million birr in a single day toward the construction of the school.

The contribution demonstrates that the Ethiopian diaspora’s support extends beyond financial assistance, reflecting solidarity, compassion and a strong commitment to Ethiopia and fellow Ethiopians living at home and abroad.

Drone Strike Hits US Owned Gas Vessel at Egypt's Damietta Port
======================

A drone struck a U.S. owned floating storage and regasification unit at Egypt's Mediterranean port of Damietta on Wednesday, July 29, sparking a fire that spread to a nearby gas vessel, according to Reuters.

The vessel, Energos Winter, was hit on its starboard side, based on an initial assessment by British maritime security firm Ambrey and separate security and trading sources cited by Reuters.

The fire later spread to the Gaslog Salem, another gas vessel docked at the port.

Energos Winter, which has a storage capacity of about 138,250 cubic metres, is owned by U.S. based Energos Infrastructure, while its technical, safety and commercial operations are managed by Wilhelmsen Ship Management.

Egypt's Petroleum Ministry confirmed that fires broke out aboard a regasification vessel and a storage vessel at Damietta Port.

It said emergency and firefighting teams quickly contained the fires in line with established response procedures.

Petroleum Minister Karim Badawi visited the site to oversee the emergency response.

No deaths or injuries were reported. The ministry did not attribute the incident to a drone strike or identify the cause of the fire. Reuters said the assessment that a drone was involved came from maritime security firms and security sources.
