[DW] The UN's World Food Program has sounded the alarm over the high number of people it says require emergency food assistance in the conflict-hit region of northern Ethiopia after seven months of fighting.
In May, Burundi held a presidential election which was won by Evariste Ndayishimiye, candidate of the ruling National Council for the Defense of Democracy - Forces for the Defense of Democracy (CNDD-FDD) party.
Ndayishimiye was hurriedly sworn in after the untimely death of president Pierre Nkurunziza in June.
Rights violations continue
The Council encouraged donor countries which had suspended aid to Burundi to continue dialogue towards resumption of development assistance.
A report by a UN watchdog in September said human rights violations were still being committed in Burundi, including sexual violence and murder.
The country was plunged into a crisis in April 2015 when Ndayishimiye’s predecessor Pierre Nkurunziza decided to run for a controversial third term, which he ultimately won in July 2015.
His candidature, which was opposed by the opposition and civil society groups, resulted in a wave of protests, violence and even a failed coup in May 2015.
Hundreds of people were killed and over 300,000 fled to neighboring countries.
Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is not rebuffing international calls for calm amid an escalating conflict in the country's restive Tigray region that many fear is sliding toward civil war, his office's spokesperson said.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa yesterday suspended High Court judge Justice Erica Ndewere and appointed a tribunal to investigate her for alleged misconduct. BY CLIFF CHIDUKU The three-member tribunal is chaired by retired judge Justice Simbi Mubako and other members are Yvonne Masvora and Charles Warara. The Judicial Service Commission had earlier this week recommended that a tribunal be set up to investigate whether or not Justice Ndewere was fit to hold office. The High Court judge is facing allegations of gross misconduct in the performance of her duties, but she accuses Chief Justice Luke Malaba of trying to fix her for defying his unlawful order in cases involving bail for former Tourism minister Priscah Mupfumira and MDC Alliance vice-chairperson Job Sikhala. Last week, judges from senior courts wrote to Mnangagwa and the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission, asking them to probe Justice Malaba, who they accuse of interfering with their verdicts in what they described as judicial capture. lFollow Cliff on Twitter @ChifChiduku
