Last update: 9 hours agoUNESCO World Heritage: UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee has added 25 new sites in Busan, including a major milestone for Comoros: six centuries-old medinas (living towns of palaces, mosques and narrow streets) were inscribed, with Comoros officials calling it a “starting point” for protection and preservation. Global Heritage Trend: The new list also highlights a growing push to recognize 20th-century modernist architecture, alongside major cultural and natural landmarks worldwide. Comoros Water Crisis: In Moroni, residents say piped water can arrive only every few weeks and in thin trickles, forcing people to queue for tanker deliveries—an issue tied to leaks, network problems and limited electricity for pumping. Regional Energy & Research: Registration is open for the 11th African Rift Geothermal Conference in Moroni (19–24 October 2026), aiming to boost geothermal development across Africa. Migration Tragedy: At least 14 migrants from the DRC, Burundi and Comoros died after a boat broke down off Tanzania’s Mafia Island while trying to reach Mayotte.
