There was drama in Kenya's coastal city of Mombasa when two suspected car thieves, one of them with a snake around his neck, walked naked through the streets.

But it turned out to be a publicity stunt.

The men, covered in mud, were said to have been bewitched after stealing a car.

According to the Standard newspaper, external, the car owner had first reported his vehicle missing to the police but they could not find his vehicle.

The owner was then advised to seek the help of a local witch doctor who demanded a fee of $1,000 (£765), the Standard adds.

The witch doctor assured the car owner that the suspected thieves would be seen dancing naked in broad daylight on one of the busiest streets in Mombasa.

But a policeman, quoted on a Kenyan TV station, said this was a publicity stunt and four people have now been arrested in connection with the incident: the witch doctor, the two naked men and the man who reported that his car was stolen.

Protesters are heeding a call from the opposition to turn out and demand constitutional reform, to limit the maximum number of presidential terms.

Access to the internet and social media networks are reported to be disrupted.

In Kara, the third largest city in the north, supporters of the government prevented people from demonstrating.

Referring to the protesters, Public Service Minister Gilbert Bawara said:

Opposition leaders say the government is merely playing for time and have called for a second day of protests tomorrow.

Tunisia's Prime Minister Youssef Chahed has named a new cabinet.

This latest cabinet reshuffle was expected on Monday, but weeks of political rifts over new appointments delayed the announcement and it appears the prime minister wanted to ensure he had backing from the major political parties before publishing the list.

The key changes being made are in the security and finance sectors.

The new Interior Minister General Lotfi Brahem previously headed up the National Guard.

The defence minister has also been replaced, and the cabinet now has a newly created Ministry for Economic Reforms which will be led by Taoufik Rajhi, a former economic adviser to the prime minister.

The country is under increased pressure from international organisations and European donors to introduce new economic measures to cut public spending.

Tunisia's parliament still needs to vote on the new cabinet line-up for final approval, although it’s unlikely to be challenged.

A researcher from Human Rights Watch has shared pictures of policemen on the streets of Angola's capital, Luanda, ahead of the expected announcement of the final results from last month's general election.

She says there's a "heavy police presence":

Hundreds of thousands of opposition supporters have turned out across Togo today to demand constitutional reform, AFP reports, despite the government's attempt to appease them.

A draft bill to reduce the presidential term limit to a maximum of two has been dismissed by the opposition as merely playing for time.

They are calling for President Faure Gnassingbe to step down and and bring an end to his family’s 50 years in power.

AFP news agency quotes an Amnesty International spokesperson as saying "at least 100,000" people have been protesting in the capital, Lomé.

Opposition party leader Jean-Pierre Fabre has called the demonstration "unprecedented".

South Sudan’s former army chief General Paul Malong has been denied permission to travel to Kenya's capital, Nairobi, his wife told Amsterdam-based Radio Tamazuj, external today.

General Pail Malong had asked President Salva Kiir to allow him to go for DNA sampling after his daughter died when a fire broke out at Moi Girls School in Nairobi last weekend.

According to Gen Malong’s wife, his blood pressure shot up after President Kiir rejected his request to go to Nairobi.

He has been confined to his home in Juba by the government for security reasons.

The general's wife urged the government to announce charges against him instead of restricting his movement.

Earlier today, one schoolgirl appeared in court in connection with the fire, which the government says was started deliberately, and she has been detained for seven days.

Angola's electoral commission was expected to announce the final results from last month's general election at 15:00 local time (14:00 GMT), but this has now been delayed.

The BBC understands that this is because there was a last-minute change to the venue for the announcement.

We're expecting the official results of Angola's elections, held last month, this afternoon.

And ahead of the announcement, Angola's international TV channel is hosting what it calls a 'democracy party' with entertainers singing about peace and guests praising democracy in the country.

US forces, with the help of the Somalia government, have carried out what the Pentagon called a "precision airstrike" in central Somalia killing three al-Shabab militants, a statement from the Department of Defense says.

It adds that the airstrike took place in the Bay region, 75km west of the capital, Mogadishu.

The US is supporting the Somali government in its efforts to regain control of the country from Islamist militants.

Last month, US forces were accused of killing civilians in an attack on an al-Shabab-held area.

South Africa’s Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa began his parliamentary question session with short statement addressing the sex scandal that he has been embroiled in.

Earlier this week, he admitted to having an extra-marital affair, but denied reports of multiple affairs.

Today, addressing parliament's presiding officer, Mr Ramaphosa said: “I thought I should do something unprecedented and start off with a matter that has embroiled me in my personal life.”

Then a visibly subdued deputy president made this promise: “I will be addressing this matter in a day or two. I do need to take responsibility and be accountable."

Mr Ramaphosa is one of the front-runners to succeed President Jacob Zuma as head of the governing ANC, when it elects a new leader in December.

Some MPs from the opposition benches were heard shouting: “Resign, resign!”

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta's Jubilee party has said that nine members of the electoral commission's special team that will help organise the presidential election re-run are "known to be partisan".

The commission, the IEBC, has brought in new members to work on the 17 October vote, which was ordered after the Supreme Court annulled last month's election result.

The Nasa alliance of Mr Kenyatta's main rival, Raila Odinga, called for changes in the IEBC make-up immediately after the annulment was announced last Friday.

And this was one of its conditions laid out yesterday for taking part in next month's re-run.

It is not clear if the IEBC set up the special team in response to Nasa's call.

In a letter to the IEBC, Jubilee says it has a "strong objection" to the deployment of this new team.

For the second time since President Buhari's return from extended medical leave in London, Nigeria's weekly cabinet meeting has been cancelled.

Information Minister Lai Mohammed said in a statement that today's meeting is not taking place “due to inadequate time to prepare the documents”.

Mr Mohammed’s statement adds that a two-day public holiday on Friday and Monday to mark the Islamic Eid-el-Kabir celebrations had left little time to prepare for the weekly meeting.

President Buhari led his first cabinet meeting last week since taking leave for an unspecified illness.

His absence sparked numerous protests, including demands that he should resign, as well as calls for more transparency about the president's condition.

The 74-year-old president has been working from home since his return on 19 August, blaming a rodent infestation for keeping him out of his office.

We reported earlier that opposition protests in Togo are going ahead today despite the government's attempt to mollify protesters with a draft bill that would limit presidential terms.

Local sources tell me that demonstrations have already started in many cities of the country, and opposition groups are calling for more protests tomorrow in Togo and its diaspora.

Togo's President Faure Gnassingbe has called on parliament to examine proposed a change to the constitution setting a limit of two presidential terms.

The draft was presented last night during a cabinet meeting.

Mr Gnassingbe has explained that this move is to preserve peace in the country, but the opposition believes he is playing for time and says he should step down immediately, to bring an end to his family’s 50 years in power.

This entry has been amended to clarify the current status of the draft bill.

The deaths of seven people in a fire at a major construction site in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, have been covered up, reports the Addis Standard online magazine, external.

The magazine has spoken to some of the nearly dozen others who were injured in the blaze as well as the site manager to confirm the incident, which happened last month at the huge Adey Ababa stadium construction project.

But there has been no official comment on the fire that is reported to have started when a gas cylinder exploded, witnesses told Addis Standard.

The magazine also details the different ways the 200 Chinese and 800 Ethiopian workers are treated on the site.

It alleges that the Ethiopian workers do not have the proper safety clothes.

It has also tweeted some more details:

Earlier this year, people were sharing pictures of what the completed stadium will look like:

Four people have been killed in a new wave of attacks in Kenya’s coastal region of Lamu.

Residents of the village where it happened have blocked the main road with boulders and burning tyres to express their frustration at the latest killings, which police say are caused by fights for resources.

Armed men are said to have conducted house raids by night, calling the victims out by name and shooting them dead.

No suspects have been charged.

Lamu County Commissioner Gilbert Kitiyo said he suspected that nomadic herdsmen were behind the killings.

He ruled out any involvement of Islamist militants, saying this attack was motivated by a fight for land, noting that the killers knew their victims by name.
