Tigray crisis: People are ‘desperate’ says top aid official

The humanitarian situation in Ethiopia's Tigray region is very grave, according to the head of the UN's refugee agency.

Islamist militant group al-Shabab says it was responsible for the deadly attack on a hotel in the Somali capital, Mogadishu.

Plus a fitting farewell to Focus on Africa’s David Amanor who, after years of delighting audiences on the airwaves as a presenter and correspondent in Ghana, is leaving the BBC.
