Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has promoted his son Kainerugaba Muhoozi to the rank of major-general in the army. 

He is seen as the most powerful soldier in Uganda's army. He heads the Special Forces Command which is considered to be an army within the army. It has all units of the military such as an infantry and Air Force. Plus it's in charge of the president's protection and key government installations including the country's oil fields.

Some have questioned the speed with which Maj-Gen Muhoozi has been promoted. It was only four years ago when he was made brigadier. 

The head of Uganda's army is still General Katumba Wamala.

The mood in the country is still tense following disputed elections. 

Mr Museveni was sworn in for a fifth term on Thursday. Opposition leader Kizza Besigye has been arrested on a charge of treason, and has been moved to the main prison in the capital. Kampala. 

He rejected the election as a sham.

Rwanda has inaugurated a plant which generates electricity from potentially lethal methane gas in Lake Kivu. 

The first phase of the project will add 26 megawatts to the grid, bringing power to many people who have none. 

Only a quarter of the country's population has electricity. 

Rwanda hopes to increase that substantially over the next two years, thanks to the power generated from Lake Kivu's methane.

US Secretary of State, John Kerry, said Libyan authorities would be allowed to receive ammunition and weapons through specific exemptions from the current UN arms embargo. Mr Kerry also called for more humanitarian aid for Libya. 

The five permanent members of the UN Security Council reached the agreement after talks in Vienna. 

Libya's new UN-backed government is trying to establish its authority in a country that has been riven by factional violence since the downfall of Colonel Gaddafi in 2011.

There are currently two other governments in Libya, backed by rival militias. 

The United States and other world powers say they are ready to arm the new UN-backed Libyan government, to help it fight the self-styled Islamic State group.

 According to a joint communique, the international coalition will push for exemptions to the current UN arms embargo imposed on Libya. 

Representatives of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council reached the agreement after talks in Vienna with Libya's new UN-backed unity government. 

Before the talks, Germany had voiced its doubts as to whether the negotiations could help unify Libya.

The protests are led by opposition leader Raila Odinga,who says polls in 2017 cannot be free and fair if the current election commission remains in place . He has called for its commissioners to be removed from office.

A leading university in South Africa says arsonists have fire-bombed a 1,000 seat auditorium at one of its campuses in the main city, Johannesburg, as part of an "organised set of attacks" on educational institutions, reports AFP news agency.

Damage worth $640,000 (£44,000) was caused in the overnight attack at the University of Johannesburg, with computer laboratories and equipment also destroyed.

"This is just the latest in a set of criminal acts directed at our country's basic and higher education institutions," Vice-Chancellor Ihron Rensburg is quoted by AFP as saying. 

"We are calling on the police, the intelligence services and the judiciary to re-double their efforts in getting to the bottom of this organised set of attacks," he added. 

It is unclear who carried out the attack. 

People have put up photos on Twitter of the damage caused: 

South Africa's universities have been hit by student and worker protests since last year over a wide range of issues - including the cost of tuition fees and alleged racism.

Rwanda has expelled at least 1,300 Burundians after they refused to move to refugee camps, Burundian government officials say.

Some say they have been working in Rwanda for many years.

Melchior Nankwahomba, governor of Kirundo province that neighbours Rwanda, told the Reuters news agency:

Rwanda hosts 77,000 recent arrivals from Burundi and in February Rwanda said it had it plans to relocate them to other host countries.

The allegations are the latest manifestation of tension between Rwanda and Burundi, which worsened after Burundi's President Pierre Nkurunziza announced that he would run for a third term just over a year ago.

Burundi has accused Rwanda of supporting the armed opposition trying to unseat Mr Nkurunziza.

Rwanda denies the allegation.

Foreign ministers from the United States, the Middle East and Europe are discussing the crisis in Libya at a meeting in the Austrian capital, Vienna. 

They are hoping to bring greater stability to the country and to support its new UN-backed unity government.

But expectations are low because of the refusal of Libyan politicians and militia leaders to unite behind any one of the three rival administrations in the country. 

Speaking ahead of the talks, German Foreign Minister Frank Walter Steinmeier said it was uncertain whether the talks could move Libya from a place where the so-called Islamic State group have found a foothold to a unified country. 

The UN envoy for Libya is trying to be more positive in his tweets from the meeting:

In some places witchdoctors believe that the body parts of people with albinism have special powers, which can lead to their murder.

So what happened when a Cameroonian with albinism confronted a witchdoctor?

Stephane Ebongue has been telling his story to the BBC.

Mr Ebongue tries to get an answer to what puts him in danger.

But the witchdoctor isn't really listening. He's staring at the treasure sitting in front of him.

"You do not even know your value. How much you're worth," he says to Mr Ebongue.

"Albinos are in great demand - albinos just like you. From your hair to your bones, you are so sought-after."

We mentioned in our 09:13 post that the Nigerian army has arrested several suspected members of a militant group called the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), thought to be behind recent attacks on oil pipelines in the south.

The group's first statement three months ago declared: "We are a group of educated and well-travelled individuals that are poised to take the Niger Delta struggle to new heights that has never been seen in this nation before."

The group has stated unambiguously what it was out to achieve: "Our goal is to cripple Nigeria’s economy.”   

It is difficult to identify who the members of the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) are. 

But local people believe many are from previous groups like MEND led by Henry Okah or the Niger Delta People's Salvation Front led by Mujahideen Asari Dokubo; who were left out of the government's amnesty programme.

Many say they are followers of ex-Niger Delta warlords like Tom Polo. 

But others believe they are criminals who want to draw attention to themselves, now that their kinsman, former President Goodluck Jonathan, is out of power.
