In a remote corner of Northern Kenya, former Samburu warriors continue to rescue orphaned and abandoned baby elephants, even as drought has put on hold plans to release them back into the wild. Traditionally Samburu warriors are not only charged with protecting their community, but with caring for their livestock. Now they have turned their attention to raising elephants. At Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, they rescue baby elephants that have been injured, orphaned or abandoned. They look after them, rehabilitate them and release them back to the wild. It is transforming the way local communities relate to elephants, in a way that benefits both humans and animals. But drought has meant their rewilding programme has been put on hold until the rains come.

Ethiopia's military has awarded the head of Turkish drone company Baykar what has been described as a "medal of honour" for his assistance in boosting the country's air force during the two-year civil war in Tigray.

Ethiopia's army chief handed over the award to Haluk Bayraktar during an annual air force show in Bishoftu, near the capital, Addis Ababa.

Mr Bayraktar stated that he "was honoured to be awarded the medal of honour" which is rarely given to foreign nationals.

Armed drones are believed to have helped turn the tide in the civil war in the federal government's favour. The conflict ended in November last year after a peace deal was signed in South Africa.

The exact details of the award are not clear but it appears to be different from the National Medal of Honour which is normally bestowed by the country’s president.

African states are increasingly acquiring Turkish drones to fight armed groups.

A leading investigative journalist in Mozambique has said he is now more afraid for his own safety after a colleague was killed last week.

On Thursday, João Chamusse was found dead outside his home on the outskirts of the capital, Maputo, in a suspected murder.

It was reported that he was killed in a machete attack. Chamusse had become known for his commentary on a privately owned TV station.

Journalist Luis Nhanchote told the BBC's Focus on Africa podcast that he had died in a targeted killing.

Reflecting on his own situation he said: "I am working but I don't feel safe. Last Friday I had to call someone to go with me to the TV station for an interview."

Residents of the Sudanese city of Wad Madani say the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have attacked a hospital and have taken over an army base.

The area is home to hundreds of thousands of civilians who have fled the violence further north in the capital, Khartoum.

Dallia Abdelmoniem, who is currently in Cairo but has family in Wad Madani, told the BBC's Newsday programme about what happened at the military base.

"It's an army stronghold and the fact that the RSF was able to breach the army stronghold does not bode well," she said.

"It means that, first of all, the RSF is feeling more confident in their abilities, that the war is expanding. And this is a safe haven. It wasn't just a stronghold for the army. It's also a safe haven for the civilians who left Khartoum. So in terms of civilian safety, it's a catastrophe because they have no options, there's nowhere to go."

There's international concern that the war - which began in April - is spreading.

Over the weekend, the US State Department called on the RSF to cease its advance on Wad Madani.

Washington said the group's actions were inconsistent with its stated aim of protecting Sudanese civilians.

There are also reports of renewed fighting in the city of Nyala in Sudan's western Darfur region.

The former army chief beat three low-profile candidates, with the runner-up securing only 4.5%.

South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa has said he has “noted” his predecessor’s statement about voting for a new party rather than the African National Congress (ANC).

On Saturday, Jacob Zuma said he would campaign for the newly registered uMkhonto we Sizwe, named after the long-disbanded armed wing of the ANC.

He also launched highly personal attacks on President Ramaphosa, including calling him a “proxy” for white capitalist interests.

At a press conference on Monday afternoon relating to the situation in Gaza, President Ramaphosa has been giving his first public comments on Mr Zuma’s statements.

Asked what the ANC would do about the announcement, President Ramaphosa said: “What I can say to you is that we all listened to that announcement and we have noted what he has said, what he has announced, and that is as far as we are prepared to go at this point in time.

“And everyone in our country is free to express themselves in relation to who they will vote for and why they will vote for them, and we have noted what former President Jacob Zuma has announced.”
