Ethiopia’s parliament cuts ties with Tigray leaders

Ethiopian lawmakers have passed a resolution calling on the federal government to stop dealing with leaders of the northern Tigray region.

Rallies have been taking place in cities across South Africa as part of a nationwide strike called by the main trade union body Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu).

Plus, we speak to 11 year-old singer Zahra Kamara who has written a song called “Pain” to help her deal with the collective pain highlighted by the Black Lives Matter movement.
