In DR Congo, mourning and anger in Goma in the east of the country… Three weeks after the violent repression of an attempted demonstration by the army, families bury their dead. Nearly 60 civilians lost their lives according to the official toll. The government funded this burial but the families now want answers about what really happened.

And then this question will Denis Mukwege be a candidate for the presidential election in the DRC? We received Alphonse Maindo, political scientist and professor at the University of Kisangani. Support from Dr Mukwege, he explains to us why some are hoping for a candidacy.

And this other facet of the war in Sudan, hunger. The UN has sounded the alarm over child mortality in war-torn Sudan. Since mid-May, more than 1,200 children have died from malnutrition and a suspected measles epidemic since May in refugee camps in White Nile state alone…

After more than a month of ECOWAS economic sanctions against Niger, the impact is being felt in Nigeria. In Kano, a large megacity in northern Nigeria, traders come from all over the Sahel to stock up on cereals and manufactured products.
