The world’s largest humanitarian crisis in 70 years has been declared in three African countries on the brink of famine, just as President Donald Trump’s proposed foreign aid cuts threaten to pull the United States from its historic role as the world’s top emergency donor.

The IOC has cut funding to Kenya and will consider suspending the country next week after local officials refused to make changes to their Olympic body’s constitution.

For New Covenant Missions executive director Erik Laursen, overseeing 150 churches in Ethiopia and traveling to Africa six times a year is similar in many ways to the job he left behind to begin working with missionary groups.

London Mayor Boris Johnson, a leader of the campaign for Britain to leave the European Union, faced a flurry of criticism Friday for suggesting U.S. President Barack Obama may have an “ancestral dislike of the British Empire” because of his Kenyan roots.

Kenya is striving to strike a balance between developing its 330 miles of coastline for a billion-dollar tourism industry that employs a half-million people and preserving the environment that attracts those visitors.

High school science teacher, survival instructor, naturalist and artist Hazen Audel is spotlighting the skills of indigenous people in remote niches of the world for the National Geographic Channel TV series, Survive the Tribe. The Sunday Outdoors story by S-R Outdoors Editor Rich Landers describes how Audel's childhood fascination with snakes and spiders put the Spokane native on the path to hunting with bald eagles in Mongolia, dodging stampeding elephants in Kenya, hunting with blowguns in the jungle of Ecuador and learning to spear seals from a kayak in the icy waters of Nunavik. This photo gallery offers a glimpse of the life Audel calls "a rich cultural stew of outdoor adventure."

Spiders and snakes were more inspiring than school to Hazen Audel as he grew up in Spokane. “My high school teachers would never have bet that I’d become a science teacher myself,” he said. Perhaps nobody could have predicted Audel’s wide-eyed fascination with flora and fauna would be broadcast internationally in a TV survival program with a unique educational twist.
