Somalia: Suicide bombings after al-Shabab leader killed

The jihadist militant group al-Shabab says it carried out two suicide bombings in Beledweyne, after one of its leaders was reportedly killed in a US drone strike. Somalia’s government said Abdullahi Nadir had been responsible for many attacks against civilians.

And the latest following the military coup in Burkina Faso, where Col Ibrahim Traore has been announced as the country’s new leader.
