Sudan's military-led government has returned to the country's capital after nearly three years of operating from its wartime base in the eastern city of Port Sudan.

Sudan's Prime Minister Kamil Idris told reporters on Sunday that the "government of hope" was officially back in Khartoum and would begin efforts to improve services for the city's beleaguered residents. The military was forced out by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) when civil war erupted between the two sides in 2023.

The army recaptured it in a significant breakthrough last March.  Unathi Batyashe spoke to Advocate Sipho Mantula from the Thabo Mbeki African School of Public and International Aﬀairs.

There are calls for specialised services to be integrated at South Africa's border crossings, following the delivery of a baby boy at the Lebombo border post last week. There have also been calls for those who assisted with the delivery to be promoted and recognised for going above and beyond the call of duty. The baby has been nicknamed "Baby SAPS and Customs." Dr. Kelvin Kamayoyo, Technical Advisor at the AFRICAN RIVERS INTERNATIONAL NGO in LUSAKA, ZAMBIA says the birth of the little boy is proof that miracles can happen anywhere and at anytime.

Relations between Somalia and the United States have  hit a low point after Washington said it would pause further assistance that benefits the government in Mogadishu amid a dispute over the demolition of a World Food Programme (WFP) warehouse. Somalia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs earlier has however disputed the assertion that the U.S.-provided aid had been stolen, and said it remained in WFP custody. The accusation comes as the US  pursues an aggressive immigration policy that has posed a stumbling block to relations between Washington and Mogadishu. The Trump administration has barred citizens of Somalia from entering the U.S. and last month said it was auditing immigration cases involving U.S. citizens of Somali origin to detect fraud.
