Tear gas fired to disperse protesters in Uganda

Teargas and live bullets have been fired in Uganda’s capital, Kampala, to disperse people protesting against the arrest of Ugandan presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine.

Concerns are mounting for civilians living in Ethiopia's Tigray region as the conflict continues and thousands flee to neighbouring Sudan.
