Kenya Airways (KQ) has resumed daily flights to and from Dubai after a two-month suspension due to regional geopolitical tensions.

• KQ plans to operate one flight daily initially, with frequency increases based on demand and security.
• The airline suspended operations on February 28 following the outbreak of the Iran war.
• Before the suspension, KQ operated 14 flights per week on the Nairobi–Dubai route.

Kenya has refuted claims that France is establishing a military base in the country following recent defence and economic pacts. Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing’Oei clarified that the agreements are for military cooperation, not a military base.

• The arrangement is a Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) focused on collaboration, training, and security support.
• Key individuals involved include Foreign Affairs PS Korir Sing’Oei and French Ambassador to Kenya Arnaud Suquet.
• Speculation arose after 800 French military personnel arrived in Kenya aboard three warships for joint training and maritime security cooperation.
