Protests have broken out in parts of southern Nigeria amid increasing anger over the scarcity of cash following the central bank's decision to scrap old banknotes, and to replace them with new ones which are not widely available.

Bus drivers in Mozambique took part in a protest targeting South African vehicles, which they say is in response to attacks targeting Mozambican nationals in South Africa.

And a Kenyan senator was asked to leave parliament as she was wearing clothes which appeared to have a period stain on them. Fellow MPs believed this was part of a menstrual activism campaign.
