Last update: 4 hours ago

Horn of Africa: Ethiopia told the UN it was acting in self-defence against alleged Eritrean incursions, while Eritrea rejected the claim and urged the Security Council to intervene. Fighting around Adigrat has heightened fears of a wider conflict. South Africa: Anti-migrant protests have turned violent, with police arresting 30 people. Home Affairs withdrew its asylum directive after reception centres were overwhelmed, but protests continue. Human Rights: South African jurist Navi Pillay has won the Nobel Peace Prize for her work promoting peace and international law. Technology: Former AfDB president Akinwumi Adesina urged African countries to invest in homegrown technologies, research and computing infrastructure rather than simply adopt innovations developed elsewhere.
