Six Protesters Killed in Sudan

Protests in Sudan turned bloody last night, as six people are believed to have been killed after security services suppressed a sit-in taking place outside the Military headquarters. More have been injured. General Abdel Fattah Burhan head of the military council has condemned the violence.

Somalia Ministry of Education cancels ongoing secondary education exams and postpones them till the end of May. Thousands of students are affected. The decision is in response to a leak of test papers on social media. We hear from angry students who feel they are been penalised.

In Zimbabwe, the government has pledged to compensate some of the white farmers most hit by losses due to land expropriation, but some black farmers see this as furthering inequality.
