Somalia braces itself for more bad weather. As weather forecasters predict heavy rains and possibly a cyclone, we look at the level of preparedness of the country.

Focus on Africa's Kalkidan Yibeltal travels to the Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa to find out how ordinary citizens feel about the huge political reforms sweeping the country and whether they back PM Abiy Ahmed's 'Medemer' philosophy.

In Sudan a blast at a ceramics factory in the capital Khartoum has killed at least 23 people, injuring more. We hear a first-hand account of a eyewitness and get the very latest from Focus on Africa's Mohanad Hashim.
