UN Women calls for ceasefire in Sudan

The Deputy Executive Director for UN Women, Dr Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda has made an appeal for a ceasefire in Sudan - while speaking at the just concluded Africa Union Summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. UN Women says of the 12 million people displaced by the Sudan war, more than half of them are women and children. This adds to the documented cases of mass and systemic rape and the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war.

And Zambia's inflation is at its lowest for the first time in three years. At 9.4%, the government says the favourable cost of living is as a result of strong copper sales and low food prices. We hear from Zambians.
