- Description
- Senegal is preparing to make sporting history as Dakar hosts the Youth Olympic Games, bringing together thousands of young athletes from more than 200 National Olympic Committees. The event will feature 25 sports, equal participation by male and female athletes, and emerging disciplines such as Baseball5, skateboarding and Wushu. It will also offer a platform for young competitors, including refugee athletes who have trained far from their home countries.
As Mohamed Abubakar explores in this Africa Watch episode, the significance of Dakar 2026 extends beyond the competition itself. Senegal is relying largely on existing and upgraded facilities, raising questions about how host countries can balance the demands of a global sporting event with long-term benefits for local communities. With Africa hosting an Olympic event of this scale for the first time, what follows after the closing ceremony may prove just as important as the action on the field.

- When a building collapses, rescuers face a race against time to locate people trapped beneath concrete and twisted debris. In Nairobi’s Eastleigh area, the search following the October 23 collapse highlights the complex work involved from assessing dangerous structures and using sniffer dogs and thermal sensors to carefully removing rubble without putting survivors or rescue teams at greater risk.
In this Africa Watch episode, Robert Nagila explains the different stages of urban search and rescue and why the first hours can be critical for those trapped. But the Eastleigh incident also raises questions about Nairobi’s wider building safety record, including concerns over construction standards and enforcement. With the cause of the collapse still under investigation, how can future tragedies be prevented?
