Cameroonian journalists denounce threats
In Cameroon, where a separatist struggle rages in the northwest and the southwest, journalists are in the thick of it.
On a day where the UN calls for an end to impunity for crimes against journalists, we shine a light on what is happening to them in Cameroon. South Africa's Finance Minister Tito Mboweni says the loss-making national airline is not worth bailing out anymore. Why Afro-Brazilians have mixed feelings about their new president. And how some Uber drivers in Nigeria are using an app that creates fake routes to boost fare prices.
