OkayAfrica website is promoting a new exhibition at the Seattle Art Museum, external, starting later this month, called "Disguise: Masks and Global African Art".

South Sudan's government has been tweeting about President Salva Kiir's meeting today in Juba with five politicians, whom he previously accused of attempting a coup against him. (see earlier post)

Kenya's president has been tweeting pictures of himself alongside the presidents of Somalia, Egypt and Zimbabwe at the swearing in of Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir.

South Sudan's President Salva Kiir has met five politicians who were at one point detained for allegedly trying to launch a coup against him, which led to the country's ongoing civil war.

The men have returned to the capital Juba in an effort to restart the peace process.   

The AU has posted photos of them meeting President Kiir. 

The BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse has been on board a private migrant rescue ship, as it set sail for its latest mission off the coast of Malta.

More than 5,000 people have been rescued from boats in the Mediterranean Sea over the past three days.    

He says that while European leaders disagree over how to tackle the most acute migrant crisis for a generation, an independent organisation called Moas has taken matters into its own hands.  

ABC News foreign correspondent Alexander Marquardt is also on board the vessel.

It looks like Panathinaikos fans are pretty excited at the prospect of Michael Essien signing for the club. The Ghana and former Chelsea star was greeted by crowds of supporters when he arrived in Athens on Monday night, ahead of the planned move.
