The EU will shortly present a new aid plan to curb the influx of African migrants via Libya, building on the deal it reached with Turkey in March.

The European Commission will boost partnerships with nine countries in the Middle East and Africa, including Jordan, Libya, Ethiopia and Nigeria.

EU Migration Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos said project funding could eventually reach €62bn (£48bn; $70bn).

Controversially it may include security help for Eritrea, Ethiopia and Sudan.

The hashtag #JusticeForBabyJeremy is trending on social media in Kenya after a young boy was shot and injured in protests on Monday.

Two other people died when police opened fire to disperse opposition protests in the western city of Kisumu, a local reporter told the BBC.

Doctors at the Kisumu's main hospital removed the bullet and Jeremy survived the injury.  

Officers shot dead three people in similar protests in May. They said they were acting in self-defence.

The opposition has been holding weekly demonstrations against the electoral commission, which it says is biased.

The owner of a building which collapsed in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, in April has been charged with 52 counts of manslaughter.

Samuel Karanja Kamau denied the charges at Nairobi’s High Court and is due to appear at a bail hearing tomorrow.

The six-storey building, which had been declared unfit for human habitation, was in the city's Huruma district and collapsed after heavy rain.  

Three other people were taken into custody after the collapse - officials from Nairobi City County and the National Construction Authority – but their charges are not yet known.

Huruma is made up of narrow streets, which made it difficult for rescue workers to reach the scene.

The Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) has folded with a debt of more than US$6m (£4.1m) and has reformed under a different name, the president of the governing body has said.

The new body is called the National Football Association of Zimbabwe, its president Phillip Chiyangwa said.

He said that the debt, which he blamed on the organisation's previous leadership, will now be dealt with by a liquidator.

At one point Zifa had to sell off assets, including an artificial training field, to raise money to pay its debts.

Ugandan academic Stella Nyanzi, who stripped naked as a protest against the way she had been treated by Makerere University management, has been found guilty of gross misconduct.

In April, she stripped to her underwear in protest at being evicted from her office at Institute of Social Research by her boss over a contractual dispute.

Ms Nyanzi, who was suspended for the investigation, is likely to face further disciplinary action.

"Stripping and staging a premeditated nude demonstration contravened section 5.1(a) of the institutions Human Resource Manual, which calls upon all staff to at all times act in a reasonable and responsible manner," reads the report.

Ms Nyanzi is a popular figure on social media in Uganda, especially on Facebook, where she posts commentary on social and political issues in very colourful language.

The researcher says she cannot work under a "misogynistic reign of terror" at the university.

Burkina Faso has cancelled an international arrest warrant for Ivory Coast's former Prime Minister Guillaume Soro.

Mr Soro, who is currently the Ivorian parliament speaker, was wanted over his alleged role in a short-lived coup in neighbouring Burkina Faso last year.

The warrant alleges telephone wiretaps revealed he supported the putsch - conversations Mr Soro denies having, according to France's Le Monde newspaper.

Military prosecutor Alioune Zanre said that Burkina Faso would be handing over responsibility for the matter to the Ivory Coast, the AFP news agency report.

He said that Interpol had refused to assist with the extradition of Mr Soro as the crime was linked to political offences and he may be tried in a military court.

The coup was staged by troops from a presidential guard loyal to former Burkinabe President Blaise Compaore, who was ousted in 2014, but was thwarted by street protesters and the army, which attacked the plotters' base.

Mr Compaore has sought sanctuary in Ivory Coast and has been granted Ivorian nationality.

About 50 gunmen believed to be fighters of the Ugandan rebel group, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), launched a raid over the weekend about 500km (310 miles) north of Kisangani in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the UN-sponsored Okapi radio is reporting.

About 100 people are believed to have been kidnapped in the attack on Bondo territory, it says.

Those captured are reported to have been made to carry off their loot.

Students, who had travelled from neighbouring villages to sit for their primary leaving national examinations, as well as traders and nurses who were carrying out the vaccination campaign against meningitis were among those who were kidnapped, the radio reports.

The administrator of Bondo said troops were pursing them into Adama forest, believed to be the rebels’ hiding place.

A surge in killings of people with albinism, whose body parts are used in ritual practices, has exposed a systematic failure of policing in Malawi, Amnesty International says in a report.

Since November 2014, the rights group says at least 18 people have been killed and at least five have been abducted and remain missing.

Their bones are believed to be sold to practitioners of traditional medicine in Malawi and Mozambique for use in charms and magical potions in the belief that they bring wealth and good luck.

Amnesty International’s Deprose Muchena said more had to be done:
