At least 35 children are among more than 62 people killed by flooding and torrential rains in the Angolan city of Lobito, the authorities say.

Fears are growing here that poor drainage channels for storm water or lack of them in Arusha City may lead to devastating floods during the coming rains.

It appears like the heavy rains that made life for Dar es Salaam residents a nightmare are over, but, we must hasten to add—for now. As we heave sighs of relief and try to come to terms with the flooding outcomes, we must resolve to do things in ways that will ameliorate the ravages of future downpours.
