A body representing East African states has welcomed  the collapse of the case against Kenya's Deputy President William Ruto, who was on trial at the International Criminal Court on charges of crimes against humanity.

In a statement, Igad executive secretary Mahboub Maalim said:

The decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to "terminate" charges against Kenya's Deputy President William Ruto and a co-accused radio journalist effectively brings to an end the international efforts to pursue justice for the victims of violence that followed the country's disputed elections in 2007.

But the pain and tribal rifts are still felt as the BBC's Alastair Leithead writes from Kenya's capital, Nairobi. 

South Africa's former Finance Minister Trevor Manuel has called on President Jacob Zuma to step down after the country's highest court ruled last week that he breached the constitution by failing to repay government money used to upgrade his private home. 

He is the latest high-profile member of the governing African National Congress (ANC) to demand Mr Zuma's resignation.

"The violation of the key oath of office of the head of state, which I think is a deep crisis. I think it’s in all of our interests that the president actually steps aside," Mr Manuel is quoted by local media as saying. 

A coalition of church, academic and other groups are due to meet later today to launch a campaign to force Mr Zuma out of office. 

The ANC has rejected calls for his resignation, and defeated an opposition-sponsored motion to impeach him in Parliament yesterday. 

Deputy Justice Minister John Jeffrey said Mr Zuma was not guilty of "serious misconduct".

South Africa's anti-corruption czar Thuli Madonsela ruled in 2014 that Mr Zuma "unduly benefited" from government money used to build a swimming pool, amphitheatre, cattle enclosure and chicken run at his home in the rural area of Nkandla. 

After the Constitutional Court backed her findings, Mr Zuma promised to repay the money and apologised for the "frustration and confusion" caused by the long-running controversy. 

The opposition said he was "crooked", and unfit to govern. 

More than 200 people have been killed in the current yellow fever outbreak in Angola which the World Health Organization (WHO) says is the worst to hit the oil-rich country in 30 years.

WHO said on 24 March that it has sent its entire stockpile, external of 5.7 million doses of yellow fever vaccine to Angola to deal with the outbreak in the country.    

The WHO say an additional 1.5 million doses are needed to vaccinate the population at risk in Luanda province alone.  

It doesn't seem like replacements will be produced quickly.

Professor Lawrence Madoff from the International Society for Infectious Diseases told BBC Newsday that they need to produce more but it is a complicated vaccine to make and distribute.

He estimates an increase of production will take at least a month. 

Prof Madoff  is concerned that the outbreak will spread beyond Angola to Asia:

South Africa will investigate firms and individuals named in the Panama Papers to ensure they complied with the law, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan has said. 

Mr Gordhan welcomed the leak, saying "the world is systemically narrowing the scope for those who want to hide their offshore assets and avoid paying their taxes due to the South African fiscus".   

Holding funds in an offshore bank is "by itself not illegal, as long as the necessary approvals and disclosures have been made to the relevant authorities", he added in a statement, external.     

A nephew of President Jacob Zuma, Khulubuse Zuma, is among those named in the documents leaked from Panama law firm Mossack Fonseca.

His spokesman said he had never held an offshore account. 

Mr Gordhan said the investigation would be carried out by the central bank, Financial Intelligence Centre, and the tax agency.

The government in Congo-Brazzaville says 50 people have been arrested after clashes in the capital on Monday, reports AFP news agency.

The government spokesman called it a terror attack which left at least five people dead and government buildings torched, the agency adds.

The government blames the fighting, which comes on the heels of a disputed  election last month, on the Ninja militia that fought two  civil wars in the 1990s.

The Ninjas are headed by Protestant preacher Frederic Bintsamou, known as Pastor Ntumi, who recently came out in favour of opposition presidential  candidate Guy-Brice Parfait Kolelas, the runner-up in the March 20 vote.

The constitutional court on Monday confirmed that Denis Sassou Nguesso had won the election, extending his 32 years in power.

Paralympic officials in wheelchairs barricaded a deputy minister in Zimababwe for four hours following a dispute over money, the state-owned Herald newspaper reports, external this morning.

Deputy Women Affairs and Community Development Minister Abigail Damasane was allowed to leave only after police intervened, it reports.

The officials who are wheelchair users held her at a college in the southern town of Gwanda on Sunday at the end of the Zimbabwe National Paralympic Games, demanding their allowances, the newspaper adds.

Ms Damasane is quoted as saying that she was not "part of the issues. I just saw chaos and closed my windows and stayed in my vehicle".

Nigeria's army says it has launched "Operation Safe Corridor" for militant Islamists who surrender and repent. 

In a statement, the military said members of the Boko Haram group who surrender would be given vocational training at a rehabilitation camp so that they could return to normal life. 

The statement said the military would continue with its offensive against the group, and its fighters should therefore see the "wisdom of surrendering now, thereby saving themselves from imminent calamity".

One of two rival governments in Libya has announced that it is stepping down, a justice ministry statement has said.

The announcement comes less than a week after the arrival in Tripoli of a UN-backed national unity government.

The Tripoli-based, Islamist-backed administration said it was standing down to prevent further bloodshed.

Since 2014 Libya has had two competing administrations, the one in Tripoli backed by powerful militias and the other in the port city of Tobruk.

The Tobruk-based administration still opposes the UN-backed body.
