Al-Shabab have claimed they carried out an attack on a base of the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia, housing Ugandan troops around 100km from the capital, Mogadishu. The militant group said they captured the camp and killed dozens of ATMIS soldiers, but there's been no independent confirmation.

Thousands of demonstrators gathered yesterday in the Malian capital, Bamako, to demand the departure of the UN mission in the country, known as MINUSMA.

And we hear from Kenya's Nancy Karigithu, who is in the running to become the first African woman to head the International Maritime Organisation.
