Security has been stepped up in the Koro district of central Mali after a suspected jihadist attack killed 41 people this week.

Ethiopia has passed a new proclamation that grants close to a million refugees the right to move outside camps, to obtain work legally and get certificates for vital events including like birth and marriage.
