Reports and analysis of the day's political, economic and sports news from across Africa.

Protests erupted in Sbeilta in Tunisia, after a 52-year-old man was killed when the kiosk he was in was demolished. City authorities were in the process of demolishing unlicensed commercial structures.

More protests in Nigeria as well, as people take to the streets to demand that the government follows through on its pledge to dissolve the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, commonly known as SARS.
