Nigerian police Twitter outburst over army ambush

The Nigerian Police Force has taken to Twitter to express anger and demand answers from the army after soldiers ambushed and killed three police officers whilst they were transporting a suspect in the north-eastern state of Taraba.

A six-year-old YouTube star known in Burundi for his popular comedy sketches has died of malaria.

It's barely a week since the United Nations raised an alarm on malaria deaths in the country, with the number of illnesses equalling half of the country's population.
