Ethiopia has ended electricity rationing which has been in place for more than two months.

Starting from Monday, residential houses can use power 24 hours a day.

However, rationing continues for businesses - they can use electricity from 23:00 to 05:00 local time, but the supply will be rationed during the day.

Stone-crushing machines are still banned from using electricity from the national grid for the next month.

The country has also stopped selling electricity to Sudan.

Big changes are expected in 2021, when a massive new dam is due to start operations.

The Grand Renaissance Dam, along the River Nile, will be Africa's biggest dam, producing huge amounts of electricity.

An aircraft built by South African teenagers has successfully been flown from Cape Town to Cairo.

The 17-year-old founder of the project, Megan Werner, was overjoyed after landing in Cairo.

"I really can’t believe we’ve done it," she said.

She encountered a massive hurdle on their very last stop:

"When we landed in Egypt the authorities wanted to arrest us, take our passports and licences but luckily after about four hours, everything was sorted out and we got some more fuel and carried on to Aswan."

Her father, Des Werner, a qualified commercial pilot, explained what had happened:

"Megan and Driaan [van den Heever, the safety pilot] encountered a problem with one of their avionic systems about an hour into Egyptian airspace so they decided it would be better to land at the closest domestic airport in Cairo instead of the international airport as planned - so that created a little chaos."

Her dad was flying the support aircraft but that plane started leaking after stopping in Ethiopia, so the teenagers went on alone.

"Driaan and I flew alone for ten hours without the support aircraft, so it was two teenagers, all by ourselves with no support."

The team's first stop was in the southern Namibian coastal town of Luderitz. The plane has a six-and-a-half hour flying range and other stops on the way to Egypt were in Zimbabwe, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia and Eritrea.

But she realises she is actually only halfway through the journey.

"Of course, this is not the end of the journey because we still need to return to South Africa on this plane."

They will take a different route on the return journey that will include stops in Uganda, Rwanda, Zambia and Botswana.

Star basketball player Giannis Antetokounmpo has told the BBC how he went from being stateless to playing for the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA.

He was born in Greece to Nigerian parents who had moved to the the country illegally and was therefore unable to claim Greek citizenship.

As his parents could only get odd jobs which didn't require identification papers, Giannis ended up selling sunglasses in the streets.

That was until a local scout spotted him playing basketball on a court in the capital, Athens.

He thrived but, as he was not a citizen, he was barred from playing in the top-tier of Greek basketball.

But the buzz could not be contained. Videos of his performances lured NBA scouts onto 10-hour trans-Atlantic flights.

In all, 29 of the 30 NBA franchises made the big journey to Filathitikos' small arena to assess Giannis before the 2013 draft. Only the New York Knicks missed out.

The question mark that will have loomed largest in their reports was something he could do nothing to dispel. His lack of a passport meant he could not travel to the US.

Eventually, on 9 May 2013, after two years of petitioning and less than two months before the draft, the Greek government granted Giannis citizenship and a passport.

Now, after six years based in the US, he returns as perhaps the most famous Greek alive, a multi-millionaire and has been named the NBA's most valuable player this season.

A former coach of Egypt's national team has called for a military officer to lead the Egyptian Football Federation (EFA), after they were knocked out of the Africa Cup of Nations, Reuters news agency reports.

Farouk Gaafar is quoted as making the suggestion on a talk show after the national team coach was sacked.

"I haven't seen discipline like in the armed forces," Gaafar said.

He coached The Pharaohs in the 1990s, but has also coached a local club run by the military, adds Reuters.

It's not just Gaafar who is calling for a military takeover of the national team.

Reportedly, a meme shared on social media shows President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi asking Gen Kamel al-Wazir, who is the transport minister, "Do you know about football coaching?".

Egypt's loss to South Africa on Saturday was especially hard because they are hosting the competition.

Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) has sacked their Nigerian coach Emmanuel Amuneke after being knocked out of the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).

The Taifa Stars exited the competition with zero points after losing 2-0 to Senegal, 3-2 to Kenya and suffering a 3-0 defeat to Algeria.

Africa News reports the new boss will be announced on 11 July.

Egypt and Uganda have also sacked their coaches after being knocked out of the tournament.

A high-profile British government minister has called for the deadly Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo to be declared a global health emergency.

The international development secretary Rory Stewart said the move would help to unlock desperately needed funds.

He made the appeal during a visit to Butembo, one of the areas worst-affected by the virus.

More than 1,500 people have died in the eastern DR Congo since the outbreak began nearly a year ago.

The World Health Organization has so far refused to categorise it as an international emergency.

Plans for a new $200m (£160m) debating chamber in Ghana have been shelved, a parliamentary spokeswoman says.

Kate Addo told local radio station Neat FM that there was no need for the building to go ahead for now.

There has been a wave of public anger since the proposal was put forward last month.

Opponents complained that the money would be better spent on public services, such as health and education, as well as electricity and water supplies.

Last week, proceedings in Ghana's parliament were interrupted by a protester shouting: "Drop That Chamber!"

We reported last week that the leader of the economic fighter’s group, Ernesto Yeboah, was handcuffed and taken away by two security personnel alongside two others.

A Nigerian senator, seen hitting a shop assistant in sex toy shop, has been arraigned in court.

Senator Elisha Abbo was seen in CCTV footage that went viral, hitting the woman. He told the BBC that he was the one in the video, which he said had been doctored. He said that a part where the woman hit him had been cut out.

The police commissioner in Abuja, Bala Ciroma, confirmed to the BBC that the senator was arraigned but declined to say what the charges were.

Online newspaper Premium Times, external, who first released the CCTV footage, quoted the police spokesperson Anjuguri Manzah, as saying that "the police filed the charges after looking into Mr Abbo’s conduct in the viral video".

Last Wednesday, the senator briefly became emotional while apologising at a press conference, a day after the police said they were investigating the incident.

There were local reports that he was detained on Thursday and was granted bail on Friday.

Ethiopian athlete Hagos Gebrhiwet has been trying to explain why he stopped running when he was leading in a 5,000m race on Friday with just a lap to go.

The 25-year-old, who's currently ranked second in the world in the event, celebrated as he crossed what he thought was the finish line but he had only run 4,600m in the Diamond League event in Switzerland.

On the video highlights you can see him drifting off towards the stands and then looking over his shoulder to realise that he had been overtaken.

The confusing thing is that you can see the bell being rung, indicating that there was one lap to go.

"When I was leading I saw cameramen in front of me and I thought it was the end," he told BBC Amharic.

He said he did not hear the bell.

"I was confused. When I saw others pass me I started to run. I don't know how I finished the race, but this was an unfortunate event."

Hagos finished 10th in the end. After having lost his momentum he was passed by the other athletes.

His error opened the way for compatriot Yomif Kejelcha to win.

Congolese soldiers have dispersed protests by illegal miners demanding access to a mine in south-eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

A witness told Reuters news agency that the soldiers fired into the air at the protest of at least 50 protesters in Luilu.

The illegal miners lost access to the mine they were working in when thousands were evicted from Glencore's Kamoto Copper Company (KCC) after 43 people died in a landslide.

On Thursday, activists said that security forces had fired on miners, protesting the eviction, who had marched to the governor's office and pillaged shops in Kolwezi town.

Reuters adds that they are now demanding access to another mine - the Mayi ya Mbata open cast mine, owned by the state company Gecamines.

The government of Lualaba province has promised to provide other concessions where the evicted miners can dig, Reuters reports, but the protesters are sceptical about whether it will be big enough.

While convicting Congolese rebel leader Bosco Ntanganda of war crimes and crimes against humanity earlier, the presiding judge gave some details of his crimes.

The atrocities included a massacre at a village where people, including babies, were disembowelled, AFP news agency reports the judge as saying.

Judges said that soldiers killed at least 49 captured people in a banana field behind a village using "sticks and batons as well as knives and machetes".

"Men, women and children and babies were found in the field. Some bodies were found naked, some had hands tied up, some had their heads crushed. Several bodies were disembowelled or otherwise mutilated," AFP quotes presiding judge Robert Fremr as saying.

The judge also picked out one particular case that Ntanganda personally carried out - the murder of a Catholic priest.

Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has announced plans to create three million jobs.

He announced the plan at the presentation of the 2019-2020 budget to parliament, who approved the spending plan.

A big chunk of the money for next year will be used on finishing roads and power plants.

The hope is that the spending will boost the country’s economic growth which is already among the fastest growing across Africa.

The government plans to raise 75% of the total expenditure of $13.4bn (£11bn) from taxes.

The presiding judge at the International Criminal Court has now finished reading the very long list of war crimes and crimes against humanity that former Congolese rebel leader Bosco Ntaganda is guilty of.

Among them is his responsibility as indirect co-perpetrator for rape and sexual slavery.

This is a historic moment, says a legal researcher who has been following the hearing:

A few other convictions we have not yet mentioned include pillaging and forcing civilians to move from their homes.

Ntaganda has 30 days to appeal against the conviction.

The presiding judge at the International Criminal Court has said that the former Congolese rebel leader Bosco Ntaganda is guilty of conscripting children under 15-years old and then using them on the front line.

The presiding judge at the International Criminal Court has also said that the former Congolese rebel leader Bosco Ntaganda is guilty of crimes against humanity. That's on top of being guilty of war crimes.

These include sexual slavery as a crime against humanity - including of an 11-year-old and a 9-year old girl.

The presiding judges at the International Criminal Court have been reading out the crimes they have decided former Congolese rebel leader Bosco Ntaganda was guilty of:

He is a former child soldier, nicknamed the Congolese Terminator, who operated during the conflict in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2002 and 2003.

Eritreans living in Italy have held a demonstration in Rome against the Eritrean government after it closed all the health centres run by the Catholic Church.

One protester, Desbele Mehari, told BBC Tigrinya on Sunday that the church-run health centres had been giving quality services to everyone and their closure would affect the poor and vulnerable.

Last month, the Eritrean government ordered all health facilities run by the Catholic Church to be closed. Then a week ago, the authorities ordered Catholic nuns, who were living within the clinics' compounds to move out.

Sources told the BBC, that nuns who had been running a hospital in Zager, a village about 30km (19 miles) north of the capital, Asmara, were prevented from taking any hospital equipment with them.

The hospital provided maternity and general services for villages in the area. A nun told the BBC “this action hurts the people”.

Eritrean Catholic bishops have been calling, in their pastoral letters, for national reconciliation, political reforms and justice.

But the government said in a statement, that the closure of the clinics was in line with a 1995 regulation which “limits developmental activities of religious institutions”.
