Tunisia: Army deployed after three nights of protests

We get an update on unrest in Tunisia, where the army has been deployed after three consecutive nights of street protests which have seen confrontations with the police. Protests have been happening regularly in recent months, with young people complaining of a lack of economic opportunities.

Plus, a closer look at the results of last week’s elections in Uganda. Incumbent president Yoweri Museveni will serve a sixth term after winning 59% of the vote, but some big names from his ruling NRM party have lost their places in parliament.

And we get the latest from Mogadishu, where uncertainty prevails. Somalia’s elections have been pushed back, and one of outgoing US President Donald Trump’s final foreign policy actions has been to pull American troops out of the country.
