Concern over fate of Eritrean refugees in Tigray

Reports and analysis of the day's political, economic and sports news from across Africa.

The United Nations Refugee Agency says it has gained access to two refugee camps in Ethiopia's northern Tigray region which have both been destroyed. There are concerns about the fate of Eritrean refugees who had been living there, all of whom have now fled. It's the first time UNHCR has been able to reach the area since November.

Plus, an update from John Magufuli’s home town of Chato, where the former Tanzanian president has been laid to rest.

And we get our weekly update from the Resident Presidents.
