Mass grave found in Kenya, Gen Gilbert Diendere charged over Thomas Sankara, plus more.

A grave containing at least 12 bodies has been found in Kenya's Mandera, a town in the north-east with an ethnic Somali majority. The alleged leader of an abortive coup in Burkina Faso last September, Gen Gilbert Diendere, has been charged with complicity in the murder of the country's former president, Thomas Sankara, more than 28 years ago. In Uganda, the first passenger train to operate out of Kampala Railway Station since 1998 started running today. Plus more news and sport from across the continent.
