43,000 died in 2022 Somalia drought

A new report has been released by the government and UN agencies.

It is estimated that 43,000 people died from the drought in Somalia in 2022 – half of them children under the age of 5.

Food support for Kenya has arrived at the port of Mombasa as part of Ukraine’s contribution known as the ‘Black Sea Grain Initiative.”

Senegalese president, Macky Sall, has rejected claims it would unconstitutional for him to seek a third term in office.

And we hear from pioneering Malawian singer-songwriter, Ritaa, who is working on her debut album.
