Ethiopia鈥檚 rebel Oromo Liberation Army says it has formed a military alliance with Tigrayan forces.

Ethiopia鈥檚 government has denounced a military alliance between two rebel forces - the Tigray People鈥檚 Liberation Front (TPLF) and the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) - and says the agreement shows they are working in unison against the stability of the nation.

Plus Madagascar鈥檚 President Andry Rajoelina has sacked all his ministers just days after he criticised some of their performances as below par.
