A general view of a section of the Kisumu-Malaba Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) line in Kisumu, on March 21, 2026. The presidents of Kenya and Uganda met near their shared border Saturday to mark the multi-billion-dollar, long-delayed extension of a Chinese-built railway that has left Kenya heavily in debt. The Standard Gauge Railway, built from 2013 to 2019, connects the Kenyan port of Mombasa to its capital Nairobi, and on to the lake town of Naivasha, but China refused further lending before it could be extended to Uganda as planned.

MANILA, PHILIPPINES - MARCH 19: Cadet seafarers take part in drills at the Mariana Academy for Maritime Studies on March 19, 2026 in Manila, Philippines. The ongoing war involving Iran has disrupted deployment pipelines for Filipino migrant workers, with government-imposed restrictions limiting new hires to high-risk countries and creating uncertainty over overseas jobs. For the Philippines, where millions of workers are employed abroad and remittances account for nearly 10% of GDP, the conflict threatens both livelihoods and a critical pillar of the economy.
