Earthquake Aftermath: A strong earthquake struck northeast of Antigua and Barbuda Saturday morning, with the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre reporting a depth of 31 km and an epicentre about 80 km NE (17.39N, 61.18W). Residents across multiple communities described strong shaking, but there were no immediate reports of serious injuries or major damage. Regional Impact: The tremor was felt across a wide swath of the Eastern Caribbean and beyond, including Martinique, Guadeloupe, St Martin/Sint Maarten, Dominica, Montserrat, St Lucia, the British and U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and parts of the wider Caribbean. Health Debate: In a separate opinion piece, the “blue zones” longevity idea is challenged—asking whether the science behind the famed long-living communities really holds up. Politics & Power: Another commentary takes aim at Kenya’s political elite, arguing leaders focus too narrowly on basic needs while ignoring deeper shared interests with ordinary people.
