Ethiopian troops killed 45 civilians - rights body
Ethiopia's human rights watchdog says government forces carried out a massacre of civilians last month in Amhara state.
The Human Rights Commission said it had identified at least 45 civilian deaths, although the number was most likely higher as it couldn't investigate fully.
The commission said victims had been targeted for allegedly supporting an ethnic Amhara militia.
Eyewitnesses said they'd seen people shot dead on the streets as soldiers fought rebels in the town of Merawi.
The government has not yet commented.
Human rights groups have expressed concerns about a state of emergency in Amhara which has given the security forces increased powers.

The Islamic police in Nigeria’s northern state of Kano say they have arrested a popular female TikToker for posting “indecent and un-Islamic” content on the social media app.
Two weeks ago the police unit, known as Hisbah, launched a manhunt for six TikTokers who they say constantly violate Islamic guidelines in their use of social media.
Hisbah spokesperson Lawal Fagge told the BBC that Murja Ibrahim Kunya was arrested in the early hours of Tuesday, along with her boyfriend.
“Our officers picked her up by 1:00am (00:00 GMT) at her residence alongside her boyfriend, who is also with us.”
“Her neighbours have earlier complained to us about her conduct as well. At the moment we are investigating before taking the next step,” he said.
Ms Kunya is accused of using vulgar and uncouth language in her videos, which are watched by millions of people.
She has not commented on the allegation, but has been seen in an unverified video circulating on social media since her arrest.
She is heard saying that she did not steal anything, and she thanks God for that.
When announcing the manhunt, Hisbah head Aminu Daurawa said the TikTok users had failed to comply with previous orders to tone down their content.
Kano has a majority Muslim population and an Islamic legal system operates alongside secular law in the state.

Mozambican police have detained an 18-year old man in the central city of Chimoio for walking around with a live snake wrapped around his neck.
Brito António Tiofa caused huge astonishment and curiosity. Large crowds gathered to see him with the snake, while some even followed him, causing traffic jams.
He was detained for
“disturbance of public order”, police said.
Mr Tiofa said he was a snake breeder who owned more than 60 snakes.
“There are people who
raise chickens, ducks, dogs, cattle and pigs, but not me, I raise snakes like
any animal in my house,” he said.
Senegal restricts internet access
Senegal's communication ministry has announced new internet restrictions to prevent the spread of "hateful messages".
The decision comes as political tensions rise following President Macky Sall's controversial decision to delay this month's presidential election until December.
The authorities have also banned a march due to take place today in the capital, Dakar, to protest against the postponement of the election.
Senegal has been plunged into turmoil since Mr Sall announced on 3 February that elections would be delayed because of a dispute over the eligibility of candidates.
The opposition accused the two-term president of a "constitutional coup", and trying to cling to power.
He has denied the allegation, saying he will not run for a third term.
The election was due to take place on 25 February, but has been pushed back until December.

Kenyan state prosecutor has filed a notice to appeal against a judgement that acquitted a famous TV presenter in a high-profile murder case.
Jacque Maribe and her then-fiancé Joseph Irungu, also known as "Jowie", had been accused of kiliing businesswoman Monica Kimani at her home in Nairobi in 2018.
Ms Kimani was found tied up in a bathtub by her relatives after they failed to contact her.
High Court judge Justice Grace Nzioka said the prosecution had failed to bring the appropriate charges against Ms Maribe and that no evidence placed the presenter at Ms Kimani's home on the night she was murdered.
The office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has filed a notice to appeal against the acquittal, saying it was "dissatisfied" with the decision of the High Court.
The trial of the killer of Ms Kimani, who had links to South Sudan, has gripped Kenya, even though no motive for her killing has been established.

Senegalese lobby groups have called for peaceful protests across the country on Tuesday against the postponement of this month’s presidential election.
The Aar Sunu Election (Let’s protect our election, in Wolof language), a newly-formed political platform of about 40 groups, said the protests will start at 1500 GMT.
The protest organisers, who include opposition parties, have urged people to come out in large numbers despite a police ban.
While banning the planned march, Cherif Mouhamadou Blondin Ndiaye, the prefect of Dakar, said that the protests risked disturbing public order and hindering the free movement of people and goods.
Last week, three people were killed and hundreds arrested in protests against the delay of the election, condemned by the opposition as a "constitutional coup".
President Macky Sall controversially pushed back the 25 February vote at short notice, citing a row over the eligibility of candidates.

South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa has ordered the deployment of 2,900 soldiers to aid in the fight against armed rebel groups in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
The troops will be posted as part of the southern African mission in DR Congo (SAMIDRC), which was approved by the regional bloc in May last year.
Malawi and Tanzania will also contribute troops to the mission.
The mission is replacing the East African regional force, which left DR Congo last December after the government deemed it ineffective.
The deployment will cost South Africa 2bn Rand ($105m; £83m) and is set to last until December this year, a statement from the presidency said.
The announcement comes amid a resurgence of fighting that has seen tens of thousands displaced, added to the nearly seven million who have been forced from their homes in DR Congo because of multiple conflicts.
Kenyan rangers search for missing iconic Maasai Mara lion
Kenyan wildlife authorities are searching for a famous lion within the Maasai Mara National Reserve amid reports that it was killed by pastoralists.
The iconic lion, popularly known as Olobor and a member of the black rock pride, has been missing since mid-January, according to conservationists.
In a statement on Monday, the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) said there was no evidence so far that the lion was killed.
The agency, however, said it had since deployed park rangers to look for Olobor.
“We reassure the public that we will provide an accurate account of Olobor when the facts are established and proven,” the statement added.
It is suspected that the seven-year-old lion could be a victim of human-wildlife conflict.

The captain of Nigeria's Super Eagles football team has led calls to end online bullying against midfielder Alex Iwobi.
Some football fans have been trolling Iwobi on social media, blaming the 27-year-old player for their country's 1-2 loss to Ivory Coast in Sunday's Afcon final.
Iwobi played in the match for 79 minutes, before he was substituted by Alhassan Yusuf.
The online attacks prompted Iwobi to delete his Instagram pictures on Monday.
Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa and some other Nigerians have come to Iwobi's defence, condemning the targeted online attacks against the player and saying it is unfair to single him out for the team's loss.
"Dear fans, I want to please urge you to halt the cyber-bullying directed towards Alex Iwobi," Musa shared on X, formerly Twitter.
"Losing a game is undoubtedly tough, but targeting a single player for the team's shortcomings is unfair and unjust. We win as a team, and we lose as a team. Alex gave his all on the field, just like every member of our squad," he added.
Iwobi is yet to comment on the attacks against him.
Liberia defence minister resigns amid protests in barracks
Liberia's Defence Minister Prince Charles Johnson III has resigned following protests by wives of the country's soldiers, who blame him for low wages and poor living conditions in the military barracks.
The women set up roadblocks near the capital, Monrovia and elsewhere in the country, forcing President Joseph Boakai to cancel National Army Day celebrations on Monday.
They demanded the defence minister's resignation, blaming him for a reduction in the salaries of Liberian soldiers returning from peace missions in Mali. The officers’ spouses also decried a lack of social security, electricity shortages and corruption within the armed forces.
The protests started on Sunday near the Edward Binyah Kesselly barracks, in Monrovia.
Mr Johnson, in a statement, says he is stepping down due to the "current political and civil disturbances" occasioned by the protests.
He, however, denied allegations of misusing military funds, adding that his wish was to ensure discipline was instilled in the army.
President Boakai, who was inaugurated in January, through his office said the women's grievances would be investigated and addressed.

Quote Message: The dog of the village chief is not the chief of all dogs in the village." from Sent by Peter Mbekem in Fontem, Cameroon
The dog of the village chief is not the chief of all dogs in the village."
Cameroon’s President Paul Biya has condemned Sunday’s attack in Nkambe town which killed a teenager and wounded at least 40 others.
In a statement on Monday, he described the incident in the conflict-hit North-West region as a heinous act committed by "cowardly criminals".
"I convey my sincere condolences to the family of Cherish Limnuyu, a 15-year-old student of GHS Nwangri," Mr Biya said on X, adding that: "I equally wish a speedy recovery to the injured".
Students were celebrating Youth Day when an improvised explosive device planted by separatist fighters went off near a ceremonial square.
The separatists had ordered a "ghost town" stayaway strike and wanted to block the government-organised youth event from going ahead.
Three suspects have been arrested, according to the regional governor. A church service has been held at the site of the explosion in support of the victims.
On Monday, elderly women in Nkambe marched barefoot with peace plants in hand, denouncing Sunday’s attack. This town has enjoyed relative calm over the years, with education and other activities going on with little disruption from the separatists.
But this attack has further reinforced concerns about the volatile security context in the two Anglophone regions of Cameroon.

Nurses and midwives in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, have gone on strike against new rules for verifying their qualifications to foreign nursing boards.
The regulations are meant to curb the exodus of health workers from Nigeria.
Nurses will now be charged verification fees and will have to have practised in Nigeria for at least two years before the authorities will confirm their credentials.
All applications will now take a minimum of six months.
The nurses have said the government should improve their working conditions instead of curtailing their freedom to practise where they want.
The Nigerian authorities said last year that more than 75,000 nurses and midwives had left the country in five years, leading to a huge shortage at home.
