Newsday

Available for over a year

Three of the most controversial figures on Sudan's ruling transitional military council have offered their resignations - one of the key demands of the protest movement. A mass demonstration is planned for Thursday with trainloads of activists arriving at the capital, Khartoum. A new report by the UN Children’s agency UNICEF shows that over 160 million children globally missed out on measles vaccination between 2010 and 2017, making way for the resurgence of the immunisable disease around the world. African leaders are arriving in Beijing for the China Forum. Are there signs that African countries are increasingly worried about China’s outward march powered by loans which some think are unsustainable?
