What is blocking the government of Cameroon and the international community to resolve the anglophone crisis? That is the million dollar question Dr. Simon Munzu, one of Cameroon’s intellectuals is asking.

Mali’s West African neighbours have once again agreed that the country should immediately return to civilian rule.

South Africa’s former President Jacob Zuma has unleashed an extraordinary attack on his successor. In a leaked letter, Mr Zuma said President Cyril Ramaphosa had betrayed the governing ANC and was working in the service of white businesses.

Mr Zuma accused his successor of desecrating the graves of “young men and women who lived and died cruel deaths in the hands of apartheid security forces and mercenaries”.

Two people have died after a helicopter crashed into a residential building in Nigeria’s commercial capital, Lagos, the authorities say.

Kenya Airways has posted a pre-tax loss of $133m (£100m) for the first six months of the year, as its performance stalled during the coronavirus pandemic. The national carrier was already struggling to cope with losses and tough competition from rivals before the Covid-19 outbreak forced governments to ground airlines. The company has revealed that it lost revenues of $100m between January and June, as passenger numbers fell 56%, compared to last year.
