UN and AU condemn 'use of force' on Mali protesters

The protests, which started last month, turned violent on Friday

The UN and the African Union have condemned the government of Mali for what they called its use of lethal force on protesters who are calling for the resignation of President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta.

It’s been more than a week since the detention of Kenyan journalist Yassin Juma. He was arrested in Ethiopia while covering the mass protests that erupted after the killing of Hachalu Hundessa.

Plus a popular Liberian singer uses her painful experience to speak out about the rape and violation of children.
