Chad: Several killed in protests

Several people have been killed during demonstrations in Chad, which took place after military ruler Mahamat Déby refused to honour a timetable to hand over power to a civilian administration. Hundreds took to the streets in N’Djamena, with the authorities saying around 30 people were killed, including around a dozen members of the military and police. We speak to journalist Mahamat Adamou in N’Djamena.

Plus, we speak to the headteacher of Wakadogo School in Gulu in Uganda, which has received global recognition, winning T4 Education’s World’s Best School Prize. Odong Charles Kigundi says those at the school are proud and humbled to win the award.

And a BBC investigation reveals that 2,500 children died of malnutrition in Ethiopia’s Tigray region since last year. The United Nations says around five million people in the region need humanitarian aid.
