Episode description

In one of the deadliest attacks since Sudan's conflict began, pro-democracy groups report that the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have killed at least 124 civilians and injured over a hundred others in El-Gezira state. The RSF allegedly raided Al-Sireha village on Friday, leading to widespread deaths and injuries, with images of bodies prepared for burial and mass graves circulating on social media. The RSF has denied targeting civilians.

Also Botswana, hailed for its stable democracy, holds a general election on Wednesday.

And we hear from a road transport owner following deadly tanker explosions in Uganda and Nigeria.
