Sierra Leone's main political parties are caught up in internal in-fighting, resignations and expulsions, with elections just a few months away.

Plus the Ethiopian government says it has deployed human rights investigators to assess alleged atrocities committed during clashes along the Oromia and Somali regional state borders. And a singer-songwriter whose music is influenced by his African roots has won the UK's prestigious Mercury Prize.
