Somalia bombings: death toll rises to 120
The death toll from Saturday’s twin attacks has risen to 120, according to the country’s health minister Dr. Haji Ali Aden.
Over 100 people have been killed and more than 300 injured in twin bombings in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu. Search and rescue operations remain underway.
Nigerian president, Muhammadu Buhari, has met with security chiefs in the capital, Abuja, following warnings from the US, UK and Canada about an imminent terror attack.
And we hear from Yasmine, a singer and songwriter from Guinea-Bissau, whose kizomba love songs have given her a fan based across Portuguese-speaking Africa.
