Uganda's academic Stella Nyanzi on life in lockdown
The academic recently spent time in prison after fiercely criticising President Museveni
Academic and Poet, Stella Nyanzi is one of Uganda's most famous and most unapologetic critics of President Yoweri Museveni. In February she was released from prison after spending more than a year in jail for posting on social media a poem criticising the President. Now that she is free, how is the mother of three finding the experience of Uganda under lockdown measures?
Protesters in Ivory Coast's commercial capital, Abidjan, have destroyed a coronavirus centre that was being built in the district of Yopougon.
Residents said it was being built in a crowded residential area, too close to their homes.
A BBC Africa Eye investigation into the collapse of Spencon, once one of East Africa’s largest construction companies, has uncovered what appears to be a disturbing pattern of highly questionable business practices by two British men hired to rescue it.
