  NAIROBI - On January 25, 2007, the pastoral staff of the Diocese of Marsabit changed hands during an open air ceremony in front of the cathedral. Bishop Peter Kihara, former bishop of Murang’a, took over from Bishop Ambrose Ravasi at about noon. The latter, having ceremonially verified all the proper documents of authority, vacated his cathedra (a kind of throne that is the official chair of a bishop) and passed his episcopal staff to the new bishop. The simple ceremony took place in front of 20 of the 26 Kenyan bishops and the Apostolic Nuncio to Kenya, H. E. Archbp. Alain Lebeaupin, plus all the priests of the diocese, numerous representatives from all the parishes, a big delegation from Murang’a diocese and religious superiors of all congregations ministering in Marsabit. |

Africa must guard against falling into a "colonial relationship" with China, South African President Thabo Mbeki has warned the continent. His comments come as fast-growing China is continuing to increase its push for raw materials across Africa.
Mr. Mbeki said African nations must strive for their relationship with China to be based on equal trade. Last month, China hosted an Africa summit attended by 50 African leaders including Mr. Mbeki.
