Tensions are escalating in Kenya over President William Ruto’s hefty church donations, with protests erupting over the weekend amid a national debate about the appropriateness of mixing political influence and religious funding amid a cost of living crisis. 
Also, as Sudan’s brutal conflict drags on, doctors without borders aid workers try to do what they can to help the victims of the world’s biggest humanitarian crisis from the coastal city and de facto temporary capital of the war-torn country, Port-Sudan.
Finally, Ghana’s new president, John Mahama, is still touring the junta-led Sahelian countries that make up the brand new AES bloc in the hope of persuading them to rejoin West Africa’s ECOWAS. After Mali last week, Mahama was in Burkina Faso on Monday, where he acknowledged that the rift that saw Wagadoogoo, Mali and Niger quit ECOWAS earlier this year, accusing the bloc of not having their back, had driven a wedge in the region. Accra hopes to bridge the divide. Justice Baidoo has more.
