After a humanitarian truce between Ethiopian federal forces and the TPLF was broken last week, reports now say Eritrean troops are massing on the border between the two countries. TPLF forces took over the town of Kobo last week, where fighting reignited between the warring sides.

Plus, Angola鈥檚 ruling MPLA has been declared the winner of the country鈥檚 election, meaning President Jo茫o Louren莽o is set for another five-year term in office. Opposition party UNITA has refused to accept the results presented by the electoral commission.

And we get an update from Sierra Leone, where torrential rain has caused mudslides which killed at least six people at the weekend. Three members of a single family died when the waters destroyed homes in an informal settlement east of Freetown.
