Guinea’s ruling military junta says deposed president Alpha Condé has been transferred to his wife’s home in the capital Conakry.

The National Rally Committee for Development (CNRD), as the junta is known, said in a statement broadcast on state television that Mr Condé was now with his wife, Hadja Djene Kaba Condé.

It said it would "continue to provide the former head of state with treatment worthy of his rank, and this without any national or international pressure".

The 83-year-old ousted president was being held incommunicado since he was ousted in a coup on 5 September.

He had led Guinea since he was first elected in 2010, in Guinea's first democratic transfer of power.

Guinea was suspended from the West Africa's regional bloc, Ecowas, following the coup.

Ecowas also imposed travel bans and a freeze on the financial assets of Guinea's coup leaders and their families while calling for Mr Condé’s unconditional release.

Rwanda’s health ministry has announced that it will start giving third doses to the elderly and those who have underlying conditions starting on Tuesday.

The ministry says the implementation will be done in phases and will begin in the capital, Kigali.

Rwanda’s minister of state in charge of primary healthcare says third doses will be given to those who are over the age of 50.

Those between 30 and 50 will only get the extra shot if they have an underlying condition.

The World Health Organization says this group should get an additional jab, as they are at higher risk of infections after their first vaccines.

Health workers are also eligible for the third dose.

Out of a population of about 13 million people, more than three million Rwandans have been fully jabbed to date.

Residents of Libya's south-western city of Sebha took to the streets on Monday to protest against militiamen who besieged a local court house preventing employees and judges accessing the building.

A court session had been scheduled to listen to an appeal by Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son of the country's former leader, who was barred from running in the 24 December presidential election.

The militiamen are believed to be loyal to warlord Khalifa Haftar, whose candidacy was controversially approved.

Protesters held banners in support of the judiciary and chanted: "No to the intimidation of judges."

They also called on the international community and the UN to help ensure free and transparent elections.

A video of the protest was shared on Twitter:

Nigerian authorities say 252 inmates are on the run after gunmen attacked a prison in the central city of Jos.

Nine detainees, one prison staff member and one of the gunmen were killed during Sunday's raid, the Correctional Service said in a statement.

At least 10 inmates who fled were rearrested.

The attacked prison is located in an area housing the state headquarters of the country’s security agencies, including the police.

Armed groups - sometimes trying to free their detained members - have frequently targeted Nigeria’s crowded prisons.

More than 800 inmates were freed after gunmen raided two other facilities in recent weeks.

The UN has said that 156 people have so far died from cholera in Niger, three months after the World Health Organization reported an outbreak.

The eastern region of Maradi is most affected with more than 5,400 people infected countrywide.

The region borders Nigeria where 31,425 suspected cholera cases were reported in 22 states.

The rainy season during the month of August, which resulted in poor drinking habits of rainwater infected with all kinds of unsanitary conditions drained by erosion.

This was one of the main vectors for the spread of the epidemic to other parts of the country, especially in the tri-border area between Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali.

Joe Phaahla says South Africa is experienced in dealing with Covid variants, despite a surge in cases.

The governor of the US state of Texas has accused President Joe Biden of allowing illegal migration from South Africa.

"Biden is doing nothing to stop immigrants from South Africa entering illegally," Greg Abbott, a critic of the US leader, tweeted.

Over the weekend, Mr Biden banned travel from southern African countries over fears of the new Omacrion coronavirus, which was detected in South Africa.

Mr Abbott accused Mr Biden of "playing politics".

Texas, which borders Mexico to the south, has been a key crossing point for migrants, mostly from South America but including some from African countries.

According to an AP report in 2019, most African migrants detained in Texas were from the Congo-Brazzaville, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Angola and Cameroon., external

Thirty white rhinos have been introduced in Rwanda's Akagera National Park from South Africa, to create a secure new breeding stronghold for them, officials have said.

The 3,400km (2,100 mile) relocation from Phinda Private Game Reserve is the largest operation of its kind in history, the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) said in a statement.

“This is timely for the conservation of these incredibly threatened species,” Ariella Kageruka, RDB chief tourism officer, told journalists on Monday.

A dedicated team will monitor the rhinos daily and a specialist veterinarian will oversee their acclimation, RDB announced.

With Rwanda’s ambitions to become a major tourism destination, Akagera National Park in the eastern region saw the reintroduction of lions in 2015 and black rhinos in 2017 and 2019.

President Xi Jinping has pledged that China will donate one billion additional coronavirus vaccine doses to Africa.

Mr Xi said 600 million jabs would be sent directly, while the remainder would be delivered by other means, including through investing in vaccine production sites in Africa.

China has delivered about 180 million vaccine doses to Africa so far, just under a fifth of them as donations.

Less than 7% of Africa's population is fully vaccinated. Some countries do now have enough vaccines but hesitancy is a big problem.

President Xi made the promise during the triennial China-Africa forum which is underway in Senegal.

He also said Beijing would encourage Chinese companies to invest $10bn (£7.5bn) in Africa over the next three years.

The authorities in the north-western Nigerian state of Zamfara say they will restore internet and mobile phone services on Monday.

The services were blocked in early September as part of measures to help security forces track down armed gangs behind a wave of killings and kidnappings for ransom.

Gunmen in the region are believed to be using mobile phones to co-ordinate their attacks and negotiate for ransom.

The Zamfara state government says it took the decision to restore internet and mobile phone services due to what it called an "encouraging report of peace".

But residents say there is no clear indication that the security situation has improved since the shutting down of the services nearly three months ago.

Residents have also complained that cutting off communication services meant they could not call security services for help when their communities came under attack.

Getting in touch with families and friends was also made extremely difficult by the measure, they said.

Mobile phone services were restored in neighbouring Kaduna state last week.

Eswatini has started giving Covid vaccine boosters as the country heightens alert after a new variant was discovered.

Health authorities have said those aged 18 and over, who have been fully vaccinated with AstraZeneca, Pfizer or Moderna, within the last six months are eligible.

Eswatini is among several southern African countries facing travel restrictions to the UAE, UK and USA.

The country is also set to destroy some 100,000 Pfizer vaccines that expire on 2 December due to low uptake.

Cyril Ramaphosa says the action by countries including the UK and US is discriminatory and unnecessary.

Some people dodged security barriers and charged their way in to see the Nigerian singer.
