Research carried out in Sierra Leone shows that some survivors of Ebola suffer from neurological and psychiatric conditions long after they recover from the initial disease.

Researchers from the University of Liverpool and Kings College London studied Ebola patients who'd become infected in the outbreak that affected parts of West Africa four years ago.

They found that many suffered from debilitating migraine-type headaches, strokes, major depression and anxiety disorders.

Scientists say larger studies are needed as well as more specialists to help treat people suffering from these long-term effects.

More than 11,000 people died during the Ebola outbreak that hit West Africa between 2014 and 2016.

The Cameroonian military has denied that there are any government soldiers in a video which shows men in uniform shooting dead women and children.

The shocking video, which has caused outrage on social media in Cameroon, shows the men blindfolding a young girl as well as two women - one of whom has a baby strapped to her back.

Speaking French with Cameroonian accents, the men kill the group after accusing them of belonging to the jihadist group Boko Haram.

A source familiar with the area has told the BBC that the video was filmed in the northern region of Mayo Tsanaga where the Cameroonian army has a base.

Opposition leader Nelson Chamisa presented a petition to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, as thousands of protesters denounced the management of the elections.

The opposition want a say in how things are run.

It wants to monitor the printing, storage and transportation of the ballot papers, plus access to the complete voters roll for auditing.

The electoral commission says these demands go over and above the law and that very few countries in the world allow parties to be involved at this level.

The demonstration is a reflection of how deep the mistrust runs, after years of contested elections under former President Robert Mugabe.

Sudanese hopes that the lifting of US sanctions will improve their economy have failed to materialise.

When the US decided to remove economic sanctions on Sudan last October, President Omar al-Bashir's government was ecstatic.

Not only did this signal a new era in the often tempestuous relationship with Washington, it allowed the politicians - and the Sudanese people - to hope that an end to a severe economic crisis was in sight.

But instead of regaining its footing, the economy has fallen off a cliff, with inflation soaring and people struggling to get by.
