If you were to be asked about the main uses of bamboo, what would immediately come to mind? Perhaps furniture or fencing.

But in Ghana, where it grows in great abundance, an entrepreneur, Kwabena Danso is using the crop to make bicycles. In London for a visit, he brought his bike along.

BBC Focus on Africa's Kim Chakanetsa asked him how it stands out in the growing bamboo bike market.

A ceasefire agreement has been signed in Rome between the government of the Central African Republic (CAR) and rebel groups in the country.

The truce, which takes effect immediately, will see armed groups in the CAR included in the political process in exchange for ending attacks.

The agreement was brokered by the Sant'Edigio Catholic Community in the wake of several years of sectarian violence between mainly Christian and Muslim militias, and the deployment of a long-running United Nations peacekeeping mission in the country.

A man in Mozambique's southern province of Inhambane had to pay the traditional bride price, locally known as "lobolo”, for a dead woman at the weekend, Mozambique's state radio reports.

After the woman died because of complications during childbirth, her relatives forced her young partner to pay the "lobolo", warning that she would not be buried otherwise.

The relatives accused the young man of failing to fulfill his obligations, including being introduced to the woman’s relatives, before the tragedy occurred.

To ensure that the funeral took place, the young man says he had to buy clothes and shoes for his dead wife, agree to pay more than $800 (£630), and hold a symbolic wedding ceremony on 15 December.

A brother to the young man, Irmao do Jovem, explained their dilemma:

While the man’s family has conceded to the demands, they condemned the behaviour of the dead woman’s relatives.

However, this is a common practice among some ethnic groups in Mozambique, especially if a man decides to live with a woman, without going through all the marriage formalities.

UK Prime Minister Theresa May said the terror attack near a mosque is "every bit as sickening" as other recent ones to hit the UK.

A man drove a van into worshippers close to the Muslim Welfare House in Finsbury Park as they were gathered to help an elderly man who had collapsed.

He later died, but it is not clear if this was a result of the attack. Nine other people were taken to hospital.

A 48-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

Three 14-year-old schoolboys have appeared in a children's court in South Africa's Bloemfontein city on a charge of raping a 13-year-old girl at their school on 7 June, the privately owned OFM news site reports, external.

However, the case was postponed so that allegations that the boys had received death threats could be investigated, the news site quoted National Prosecution Authority (NPA) spokesman Phaladi Shuping as saying.

“Apparently there were threats that were posed to the learners. Our request as the NPA was that those threats must be investigated so that when we make a decision as to whether or not we release them to their parents, their safety is not at risk,” Mr Shuping said.

He added that they would remain in juvenile detention until their next court appearance which would be a bail hearing, OFM reported.

Last week, a video showing two boys fondling a girl against her will emerged on social media.

Tate Makgoe, the education minister for the central Free State province, which includes Bloemfontein, said he was shocked and disgusted by the boys’ behaviour, OFM reported.

Scientists are warning that climate change poses a threat to coffee farming in Ethiopia.

Computer modelling carried out by a team at Britain's Royal Botanic Gardens concluded that almost two-thirds of Ethiopia's existing coffee plantations could become unsuitable for growing the crop by the end of the century.

But the team found that other parts of the country, at high altitudes, would be ideal and recommended early action to prevent damage to the industry, and perhaps even leading better tasting brews.

Two people working for the European Union were among those killed during an attack by gunmen on a popular tourist resort in Mali, the EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini says.

"Unfortunately, I can confirm that there were two victims among our EU colleagues, a Malian woman and a Portuguese man," Ms Mogherini told a press conference in Luxembourg.

The Portuguese army, external had earlier confirmed that one of its soldiers was killed during the attack.

The slain soldier was part of the European Union Training Mission in Mali (EUTM).

Mali security forces say they killed four militants who were involved in the attack and arrested five others.

A military court in Somalia has sentenced a soldier to death for shooting dead the country's youngest cabinet member, 31-year-old Abas Abdullahi Sheikh, in May.

The court convicted the soldier of murder but, in a rare move, gave him the option of appealing.

Mr Abas, who was the public works minister, was killed in his vehicle near the presidential palace in the capital, Mogadishu, after being mistaken for a militant Isalmist.

The killing caused outrage in Somalia and led to the sacking of the auditor-general whom the soldier was guarding at the time of the shooting.

Mr Abas was seen as a role model for Somali youth.

He grew up in a refugee camp in Kenya and became Somalia's youngest MP in November and a minister in February.

In Tunisia, young women are expected to be virgins when they marry, leading to a growing trade in hymen reconstruction surgery.

There have been some reports of young women in the country being divorced shortly after marrying because their husbands suspected they were not virgins.

The procedure, which will take about 30 minutes, costs almost $400 (£310).

While Tunisia is regarded as a leader in women's rights in North Africa, religion and tradition dictate that young women have to remain virgins until they are married.

A leading insurance company in South Africa has raised the ire of many after running what critics have described as a “racist” Father’s Day video.

OUTsurance's controversial advert shows a montage of scenes where men - fathers, all white but one black - do a range of positive activities with their children to celebrate Father’s Day on Sunday.

Its caption was: “Happy #FathersDay to all amazing dads out there.”

Many say the advert was not representative of South Africa and it suggested that only white men made good fathers.

The company has since withdrawn the video, saying the lack of diversity was an “unintentional oversight”. It blamed a junior staffer for the campaign.

Many have taken to social media to call for a boycott of the company, which some say has overlooked its black clients in its adverts a number of times prior to this incident.

Some 80% of the population in South Africa is black. Those who have taken issue with the advert, saying it is a symptom of how corporate South Africa is prejudiced against black people:

Cameroon's Sebastien Siani believes video assistant referees (VAR) will improve football after seeing them in action at the Confederations Cup.

The African champions lost 2-0 to Chile in their opening match on Sunday in Russia but only after their opponents had a goal ruled out by the VAR.

The Belgium-based midfielder says players want to see new systems that make the game fairer.

"If we can make it a little bit faster it will be good for football," he said.

"It's the future. Sometimes we need technology and this can help."

Chile ultimately took the points with two late goals and the second strike was only confirmed after a video review.
