Tributes to man killed in Nairobi motorcade crash
Edgar Riches, 79, from Poole, Dorset, died on Thursday after he was struck on a road in Kenya's capital, Nairobi.
He had been visiting relatives in the country when he was fatally injured, the BBC was told.
Police detained a driver, since bailed, who is thought to have been driving a support vehicle at the back of President William Ruto's official convoy.
Mr Riches worshipped at Poole's St Joseph and St Walburga and Our Lady of Fatima Churches, was a long-standing member of the town's Conservative Association and raised money for Catholic aid charity CAFOD.
Ann Stribley, the president of Poole Conservative Association, said she had known Mr Riches for about 50 years.
"He was private, quiet person but incredibly generous and if he said he was going to do something, he always did it," she said.
"There's a total sense of shock and loss. He will be greatly missed. I shall remember him as a kind, quiet and thoughtful, always pleasant, individual.
"He was a huge benefit to the association for many years and we will be lucky to see his like again."
"[Mr Riches] was an active fundraiser and organised many social events, fundraising for CAFOD to help a school in Kenya," a church representative, who did not want to be named, said.
"He went every year to visit his sister and nephew."
There has been uproar on social media following Thursday's incident.
While Kenyans are accustomed to roads being cleared for the presidential motorcade, some have questioned why the convoy was so big and moving at such speed.
Kenyan police said Mr Riches' next-of-kin have been informed.

Increasing the danger: Journalist killing in Gaza sends a chilling message
Israel's targeted killing of an Al Jazeera correspondent in Gaza over the weekend was noteworthy even for a conflict remarkably blood-soaked for journalists, leaving some experts to marvel that any news at all emerges from the territory. An Al Jazeera executive said Monday that it won't back down from covering what is going on there and called for news organizations to step up and recruit more journalists. A total of 184 Palestinian journalists and media workers have been killed by Israel in the Gaza war since its start in October 2023, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. That compares to the 18 journalists and media workers killed so far in the Russia-Ukraine war, CPJ said. Aside from rare guided tours, Israel has barred international media from covering the 22-month war in Gaza. News organizations instead rely largely on Palestinian Gaza residents and ingenuity to show the world what is happening there. Israel often questions the affiliations and biases of Palestinian journalists but doesn't permit others in. 'You simply are in awe when stories show up,' said Jane Ferguson, a veteran war correspondent and founder of Noosphere, an independent platform for journalists. She can't recall a conflict that has been more difficult for reporters to cover, and she's reported from South Sudan, Syria and Afghanistan. Correspondent Anas al-Sharif knew he was a target, and left behind a message to be delivered upon his death. He and seven other people — six of them journalists — were killed in an air strike outside of Gaza City's largest hospital complex on Sunday. Israel swiftly claimed responsibility, saying without producing evidence that al-Sharif had led a Hamas cell. It was a claim the news organization and al-Sharif had denied. The toll of journalists in Gaza has been high Agence France-Presse, The Associated Press, BBC News and Reuters are among the organizations regularly reporting from Gaza. An Aug. 7 AP dispatch vividly described the hunger faced by many in Gaza: 'A single bowl of eggplant stewed in watery tomato juice must sustain Sally Muzhed's family of six for the day. She calls it moussaka, but it's a pale echo of the fragrant, lawyered, meat-and-vegetable dish that once filled Gaza's kitchens with its aroma.' Other recent AP reports carried images and text reporting from the aftermath of an Israeli strike on Gaza's only Catholic church, and a profile of an 18-year-old aspiring doctor now trying to survive sheltered in a tent. Journalists from The Washington Post and the Guardian recently accompanied a Jordanian relief mission and took images of Gaza from the air, despite some restrictions from Israel. The Guardian's Lorenzo Tondo wrote: 'Seen from the air, Gaza looks like the ruins of an ancient civilization, brought to light after centuries of darkness.' None of the organizations match the power and immediacy of Al Jazeera, however, in part because their correspondents have been in front of cameras. They've also paid the heaviest price: CPJ estimates that 11 journalists and media workers affiliated with AJ have been killed in the Gaza conflict, more than any other single organization. In a social media post written in June to be sent if he was killed, al-Sharif wrote that 'I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification — so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent.' In another posting on X on Aug. 10, the day that he was killed, al-Sharif wrote of the challenges covering the aftermath of one attack. He said he lost his strength and ability to express himself when he arrived at the scene. 'Body parts and blood were all around us, and corpses were scattered on top of each other,' he wrote. 'Tell me what words and phrases could help any journalist describe this horrific image. When I told you on air that it was an 'indescribable scene,' I was truly helpless in the face of this horrific sight.' Al Jazeera calls for other news organizations to come forward Salah Negm, news director at Al Jazeera English, said Monday it is very difficult to get people in to Gaza. But it is full of educated people and those with training in journalism who can help get stories out. He called on other news organizations to step up. 'We get the news from several sources on the ground in Gaza — not only journalists but also doctors, hospitals, civil servants, aid workers,' Negm said. 'A lot of people in Gaza talk to us.' Many of the journalists working in Gaza are facing the same struggles to find food, for themselves and their families, as the people they are covering. Noosphere's Ferguson said she's never before had to ask a reporter whether she had enough food for herself and her child. In an interview in May on 'Democracy Now!,' 22-year-old journalist Abubaker Abed described the difficult decision he made to leave Gaza to pursue his education in Ireland. Not only was he suffering from malnutrition, he said, but his mother was concerned that his work as a journalist would make him and his family targets. 'If I stayed, I would die,' he said. Jodie Ginsberg, CEO of the Committee to Protect Journalists, said she's concerned about the implications for journalists in future conflicts if what is happening in Gaza is allowed to continue without international condemnation that has real teeth. 'They're essentially admitting in public to what amounts to a war crime,' Ginsberg said, 'and they can do that because none of the other attacks on journalists have had any consequences. not in this war and not prior. It's not surprising that it can act with this level of impunity because no international government has really taken it to task.' Given all that they face, 'to me, the most remarkable thing is that journalists are continuing to cover (Gaza) at all,' she said. ___ Laurie Kellman and Danica Kirk in London, Samy Magdy in Cairo and Sam Metz in Jerusalem contributed to this report.

Wave of arrests in Mali targets soldiers accused of plotting against junta leader
Mali's complicated political terrain has been jolted once more with the alleged arrest of several dozen soldiers, including two high-ranking generals, over the weekend. Allegations emerged of a coup attempt in Mali, resulting in the arrest of several military personnel, including high-ranking officials. The arrests highlight deepening tensions within Mali's junta led by General Assimi Goïta. The military administration has yet to provide an official statement regarding these detentions. The arrests were tied to an apparent coup attempt to destabilize the institutions of the Sahel nation. According to security and political sources, the arrests were carried out in a massive nighttime operation targeting troops accused of attempting to depose Mali's military leadership. The detentions are anticipated to continue in the coming days, highlighting growing internal tensions within the junta. "Since three days ago, there have been arrests linked to an attempt to destabilise the institutions. There have been at least around 20 arrests," a Malian security source told AFP. Another source within the Malian army spoke of an "attempt at destabilisation", adding: "We have gone ahead with the necessary arrests". Gen Abass Dembele, the former governor of the Mopti area, and Gen Nema Sagara, one of the few women to reach the highest levels of the Malian army, are among those purportedly detained. A BBC source, however, debunked the claim, noting that the generals in question may not have been apprehended. The military administration has yet to release a formal statement regarding the arrests. Mali's recent political landscape Mali's current administration, commanded by General Assimi Goïta, took power through successive coups in 2020 and 2021, removing the previous civilian-led government amid growing unhappiness with instability. Relations with France, Mali's former colonial ruler, deteriorated as the junta accused Paris of failing to adequately combat Islamist organizations. Bamako made a strategic shift, turning to new friends, most notably Russia. The contentious deployment of Russian paramilitary soldiers, initially through the Wagner Group and now through its replacement, the Africa Corps, has aided the army's counterinsurgency operations while also drawing condemnation from Western countries and human rights organizations.
