DRC: Ebola keeps spreading in Goma

A second person dies of Ebola in one of DR Congo's most connected cities

A second Ebola death is confirmed in Goma, one of DR Congo's largest cities connected via land to Rwanda and with direct flights to other African capitals.

The detained leaders of Cameroon's Anglophone separatist movement have begun an indefinite hunger strike demanding to know the whereabouts of around 200 of their colleagues who went missing following riots at prisons in the capital Yaoundé.

In Sudan, schools have been closed and political talks suspended following the shooting of four students on Monday.
