And we leave you with a picture from our reporter in Uganda, Catherine Byaruhanga.

It's of the sunset over Nakivale refugee settlement in the west of the country. 

She says the settlement is home to more than 100,000 people from countries like Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia and Rwanda. 

People who come here get a small plot of land, a chance to build a home, own a business and get an education.

Mozambique's police say they have found the bodies of 13 people in Macossa in central Manica province, where security forces have clashed with Renamo rebels, the AFP news agency reports.

But this discovery is separate to the allegations of there being a mass grave containing 120 bodies.

Earlier, the independent Mozambican Human Rights League said there was a mass grave and called on the authorities to recognise that Mozambique is at war. 

It called for a UN investigation.

With its special season Words First, BBC 1Xtra has been celebrating the growing art form of spoken word, performance poetry that can be delivered in a variety of styles. 

On Wednesday, Focus on Africa TV and radio are giving the season an African flavour.

They've asked three poets from the African diaspora in the UK to create pieces based around the theme of migration. 

Here's a quick taster:

What is Spoken Word?

The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that the outbreak of yellow fever in Angola is largely under control, the Reuters news agency reports.

It adds that the WHO has warned people to stay vigilant as it could emerge elsewhere.

The outbreak of the mosquito-borne viral disease has killed 277 people in Angola since December, according to WHO figures.

Earlier, scientists in the US warned that the shortage of yellow fever vaccines could spark a health security crisis.

There's been a huge reaction on the BBC Africa Facebook page, external to UK Prime Minister David Cameron's comments to the Queen about corruption in Nigeria and Afghanistan (see previous entries).

Agbeje Martin says:

"The rate of corruption in Nigeria is alarming and growing with the day. As truthful as that is, I believe the Western world is instruemental to the level of corruption in Nigeria."  

Kindama Kargbo in Freetown, Sierra Leone says: 

"The truth is offensive in the ears of the offender but the fact is that the truth is always the truth, go on Mr Cameron."

Brian Bonke says:

"So why is this news? he's not saying anything new, every corruption ranking shows these countries to be among the worst. that said."

Boiye Cotterell says: 

"Lets stop blaming Britain and take some responsibility, we still have a choice to make! Being corrupt or economic development."

Ngozi Ngozi says:

"Hahahaha!!! But it's true! He's right. As a Nigerian, I'll admit that because I want it to change! We have to acknowledge the problem in order to be able to fix it."

Followers of BBC Africa on Twitter, external have also been getting involved in the debate:

Can Nigeria's president defeat oil industry corruption?

The US government has suspended its $400m annual financial assistance programme to Mozambique. 

This follows similar moves by the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the UK. 

Problems arose after it was discovered that Mozambique had not declared debts of more than $1bn.

The government has admitted that it acted as guarantor for a $622m loan taken out by state-owned Pro-Indicus company, and another loan of $535m by Mozambique Asset Management. Both are involved in the maritime industry.  

President Filipe Nyusi told the BBC that he is optimistic that Mozambique will rise above this scandal. 

After 12 days, the operation to rescue survivors from the building that collapsed in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, has come to an end.

He also gave the following details:

• 51 deaths

• 11 people still in hospital
• 10 people missing
• 140 people rescued

Four people have appeared in court in Zambia's capital, Lusaka, over the alleged ritual killings which recently sparked attacks on foreign nationals. 

The four were jointly charged in connection with seven murders which took place between 16 March and 17 April. 

The accused include two soldiers, a Zambia Air Force civilian employee and a traditional doctor. 

Police Spokesperson Charity Munganga Chanda said "all the murders which the accused have been charged with were committed in a similar manner...In all the incidences, a stone was found near the deceased’s body."   

The Archbishop of Canterbury can be heard defending Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari after UK Prime Minister David Cameron calls Nigeria one of "possibly the two most corrupt countries in the world", in footage recorded during a conversation with the Queen (see previous entry). 

Mr Cameron, who welcomed Mr Buhari to his official residence in May last year, interrupts halfway through Mr Welby's response to agree, saying Mr Buhari is "really trying".

UK Prime Minister David Cameron has been recorded telling the Queen that leaders of some "fantastically corrupt" countries, including Nigeria and Afghanistan, were due to attend an anti-corruption summit he is hosting in London, Reuters news agency reports.

It is not clear whether Mr Cameron knew that he was being filmed and recorded at the event at Buckingham Palace in London.

Addressing the Queen, Mr Cameron said: "We had a very successful cabinet meeting this morning, talking about our anti-corruption summit." 

He continued: 

"We have got the Nigerians... actually we have got some leaders of some fantastically corrupt countries coming to Britain."

He then added:

Five members of an Egyptian group whose satirical videos have mocked President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi have been arrested, their lawyer says.

Four of the six men in Atfal al-Shawarea (Street Children) were held on Monday on suspicion of insulting state institutions and inciting protests.

The fifth was detained on Saturday on similar charges.

Last week, they posted a video online that criticised the crackdown on anti-Sisi demonstrations and journalists.

More than 1,200 people were detained in April after people took to the streets to protest against the president's controversial decision to hand over control of two Red Sea islands to Saudi Arabia.

The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KBS) has shut down at least six unlicensed water bottling companies in a campaign against counterfeit and contaminated water. 

The local government in the coastal city of Mombasa has also banned the distribution of some water brands after they were found to be contaminated by faecal bacteria. 

There are over 600 licensed water-bottling companies in Kenya, but there are fears that a similar number may be operating illegally. 

Kenyans living in urban areas generally do not trust tap water, which some experts have suggested can get mixed up with sewage in the distribution process.  

KBS now plans a stricter enforcement of its regulations, to lock out sub-standard goods from shelves.

Watch Sipho Nyhila playing Shylock in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice in a production for the Johannesburg Awakening Minds (JAM) project, which works with homeless people in South Africa's largest city. 

Here's a short video clip of his performance: 

The original speech about how Shylock feels he is seen differently by others has been personalised to use "homeless man" instead of "Jew":

To hear more about Sipho's story, listen to Shakespeare in the World on the BBC's Compass programme (available from 12 May), part of a special season commemorating the 400th anniversary of the playwright's death.

Sierra Leone's President Ernest Bai Koroma is disturbed by the acute water shortage in the country which has not been attributed to any usual weather phenomenon, according to Information Minister Mohamed Bangura.

It comes just days after the country's human rights commission expressed concern over "the current shortage in the supply of and access to clean, safe and affordable water for drinking and other purposes".

The commission said “children, particularly girls, are out in the street very late at night or as early as 04:00 in search of water…[which] heightens their vulnerability and contributes to an increase in teenage pregnancy, child labour, high rates of school drop outs, and poor school performance”.

South Africa's Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has issued a statement about the ongoing row about a judge's comments on black men and rape (see earlier entry at 11:23), as tweeted by a BBC reporter in the country. 

A petition has been launched to demand Judge Mabel Jansen be removed from her position following the comments, which she insists have been taken out of context.  

While urging the public to allow proper procedures to be followed now that an official complaint had been lodged against Judge Jansen, the JSC suggested pressure was being put on the judge to step aside, saying "a proposal for her to go on special leave has been forwarded to the Minister of Justice".

Africa's richest man, Nigerian business tycoon Aliko Dangote, has pledged $10m (£7m) to help families affected by Boko Haram's seven-year insurgency.

It is the biggest donation by a businessman towards easing the humanitarian crisis in the north-east.

The conflict has forced more than two million people to flee their homes, with most of them living in camps.

Nigeria's government is urging people to return to areas recaptured from the militant Islamist group.

Oil output is at a 22-year low in Nigeria, the Bloomberg news agency, external reports.

It's data show that the country's output has dropped below 1.7 million barrels per day for the first time since 1994.

AFP is reporting that the drop relates to pipeline sabotage and a growing security threat, which has led to some companies to get their staff out of the affected areas.

Last week, Chevron Nigeria shut down operations at one offshore facility after it was attacked by a little-known militant group called the Niger Delta Avengers.

Ten years ago the oil industry was hit by a wave of militant activity which the government addressed by introducing an amnesty programme and providing job training.

There are some fears that insecurity could be returning to Nigeria's oil-producing area.

The BBC's reporter in Tanzania's main city of Dar es Salaam, Sammy Awami, has joined hundreds of other excited commuters as a new bus system, jointly run by the government and private bus owners, starts.

The buses are expected to address the terrible traffic problems in the city as they have their own lanes and so can avoid the jams.

The vehicles are also bigger compared to the previous buses, commonly known as daladalas. 

There are two routes to start with and 140 buses will be providing the service.

The key question, of course, is the price of a ticket.

The most you'll have to pay is 800 Tanzania shillings ($0.37, £0.25), which our reporter says is not an increase and is affordable for many people.

Electronic gates have been installed at bus stops where people will be paying with a special card, but that system is not yet in place.
