Rwanda: Kigali placed in 15-day lockdown

A 15-day lockdown has been imposed by the authorities in Rwanda’s capital Kigali. The decision was taken in light of a second wave of coronavirus cases that has caused "unprecedented deaths and transmission rates”. Officials say 61% of Rwanda’s new Covid-19 cases since the new year have been recorded in Kigali.

Plus, the latest from Darfur in Sudan. There are concerns that inter-ethnic violence is increasing in the region, as peacekeeping soldiers from the United Nations and African Union begin to leave.

And Muthoni Drummer Queen tells Mark Wilberforce how the pandemic has affected her relationship with music.
