Egypt condemns Ethiopia over Blue Nile dam

Egypt accuses Ethiopia of filling the GERD Blue Nile dam.

Egypt's Government has angrily condemned Ethiopia's announcement that they're filling the GERD Blue Nile dam for the second year and asks the UN Security Council to intervene.

Also, the main opposition party and other groups in Ghana have been protesting in the capital against rising insecurity and what they say is impunity by security services.

Plus, as South Sudanese look ahead to a decade of independence, we hear of hopes dashed, but expectations still high for children in Africa's youngest nation.
