Mali protests roar back after break for Eid

Thousands of protesters are once again on the streets of the Malian capital, Bamako, calling on the country's president, Ibrahim Boubakar Keïta, to step down.

The authorities in Mauritius have deployed helicopters and boats in an effort to remove the remaining oil from a cargo ship that ran aground last month.

In Kenya, rising water levels in lakes along the Great Rift Valley have forced thousands of people from their homes, submerging huge areas of farmland.
