Nigerian artist cancels concert in Morocco to mourn death of African migrants

Nigerian artist, Seun Kuti has cancelled his planned concert scheduled for Saturday at Morocco's Jazzablanca festival to "mourn" the loss of 23 migrants who died trying to reach the Spanish enclave of Melilla in Morocco. The son of late afrobeat legend Fela Kuti, said he can’t be seen having fun when Africans lives have been lost.

The Tunisian President, Kais Saied who has ruled by decree since sacking the government a year ago, publishes a controversial new constitution that vastly expands his powers.

Plus, we hear from the Sudanese capital Khartoum, where protests continue, despite reports that at least ten people were killed and a large number of people have been injured.
