In tonight’s edition: Kenya mourns its dead after a crackdown on protests against tax hikes. Some are calling for fresh demonstrations and for President William Ruto to resign, despite his U-turn on the financial bill. Also, South Africa’s parliament will open on July 18 as President Cyril Ramaphosa remains locked in negotiations between the ANC and the Democratic Alliance over cabinet positions. And with Niger still refusing to reopen its border with Benin, markets have come to a standstill as merchants can no longer trade.
