Sierra Leone tanker explosion: Mass burial in Freetown

Some of those killed in Friday's massive fuel tanker explosion in Sierra Leone are being buried in a mass ceremony shortly, officials say. More bodies have been recovered from a mine collapse in southern Niger that happened on Sunday night - bringing the total number of deaths to 32, a regional MP has told the BBC. Nigeria's former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has quashed rumours that he was not welcome in Ethiopia as a mediator in the crisis there.
