Reports and analysis of the day's political, economic and sports news from across Africa
Globally there are over a thousand acid attacks a year, with most survivors being women and girls. The BBC's David Wafula goes to meet two survivors in Uganda.
We also visit the annual Turkana Festival in Kenya, which attracts more than 10,000 people from surrounding regions celebrating life and culture.
