Ethiopia鈥檚 Tigray conflict

Ethiopia鈥檚 Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed stands by decision to withdraw from the Tigrayan capital, Mekelle.

Ethiopia鈥檚 Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed insists the withdrawal from Tigrayan capital Mekelle was ordered because the city is no longer central to the conflict.

Plus in Ghana, the FixtheCountry protests gather momentum after an activist is killed.

And demonstrations are expected in Sudan鈥檚 capital, Khartoum, to mark two years since a popular uprising that led to the ousting of President Omar al-Bashir.
