Sudan's al-Bashir is jailed

Sudan's ex-President Omar al-Bashir is taken into a maximum security jail.

Sudan's ex-President Omar al-Bashir has been taken into Khartoum's Kober Prison, a maximum security jail where until recently he used to lock up political prisoners. We speak to someone who visited the detention centre before, to get a sense of what could be expecting Mr al-Bashir.

The Noble Peace Prize winner and Liberian peace activist Leymah Roberta Gbowee gives us an assessment of the situation on the ground in conflict-torn Cameroon. She has travelled the separatists Anglophone areas of the country, as well as the territories in the target of Islamist group Boko Haram, and gathered the views of the people whose lives have been disrupted by the ongoing struggle.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, we check on the rescue operations underway to attempt saving the lives of at least 150 people reported missing after a boat capsized on Monday.
