Newsday

Available for 3 days

Many people in the rebel held Chin state have left their homes, with some fleeing into India. The push comes ahead of the first general election in Myanmar since the army overthrew the government in two thousand and twenty one. We are also in Rabat, the capital of Morocco, where the Africa Cup of Nations football tournament has got under way - with a win for the hosts.
