Watch our report:
Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara is in self-isolation after being in contact with someone who had tested positive for Covid-19, the presidency has said.

Many countries implemented lockdowns and key public health measures early and these appear to have helped slow down the spread of the disease.
Thirteen countries in sub-Saharan Africa implemented lockdowns along with other public health and social measures nation-wide, while ten more instigated partial lockdowns in hotspots.
Preliminary analysis by the World Health Organization (WHO) found that the doubling time - the number of days for case numbers to double in a given country - increased during the lockdown period in most of the countries of the region.
\"Three months since the first case of COVID-19 was reported in sub-Saharan Africa, it appears that the swift actions taken by African leaders and communities has slowed the spread of the virus,\" said Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, WHO Regional Director for Africa.
South Africa, which following a robust testing programme reported a particularly high number of COVID-19 cases has seen its doubling time remain stable at around two weeks since the confinement measures have started to be relaxed.
The leader of the World Health Organization warned that the coronavirus scourge is \"far from over\" as worldwide infections hit a daily high.
The State Department on Thursday lifted its advisory against traveling abroad, more than four months after urging U.S. citizens to avoid leaving the country amid the coronavirus pandemic.
An attack against a military post on the Ivorian border with Burkina Faso killed 10 people on the night of June 10-11.
Soldiers who were injured during the attack are being repatriated to Abidjan.
The Ivorian Defence minister visited the injured soldiers.
Whatever its nature, we are in the process of investigating it, and the investigative services will be able to determine at the end of the investigation the precise nature and origin of this attack”, Hamed Bakayoko, the Ivorian Defence Minister said.
The Defence Minister said plans have been made to strengthen security at the border.
All Def Digital and Russell Simmons have partnered with award-winning editor Jason Zeldes to executive produce Zeldes’ documentary feature directorial debut Romeo Is Bleeding, a stirring documentary that explores the power of spoken word poetry to save and elevate youth, in one of the most violent suburbs of the country. The Film Collaborative will release the award-winning film in select theatres beginning July 28.
The announcement was jointly made today by Sanjay Sharma, President and CEO of All Def Digital, and Romeo is Bleeding producer Michael Klein of Circadian Pictures.
“This is a powerful and provocative film that could not be more timely, or timeless. It carries a critical message about the power of the written – and spoken – word to save and transform individuals and communities,” said Simmons. “As funding for the arts, the youth, and community services continues to get slashed, Romeo Is Bleeding and its star show us the importance of the arts in our lives and how one person can make a huge difference in even the most hardened of communities.” Simmons, known widely as the founder of iconic hip hop brands such as Def Jam Records and Phat Farm, also brought spoken word to the forefront of artistic culture through nearly a decade of “Def Poetry Jam” on HBO. He also received a Tony Award for Brave New Voices, a spoken word inspired play on Broadway.
Romeo Is Bleeding has won more than 20 awards at high profile film festivals including Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature at the San Francisco International Film Festival, Audience Award Best Documentary at the Aspen Film Fest, Best Documentary Feature at the Napa Valley Film Festival and many more.
With Donté Clark’s evocative and stirring street poetry serving as a backdrop, Romeo is Bleeding captures the community tensions, violence and heartbreak that haunt neighborhoods like Richmond, California across the country (and around the world). As Donté leads a cast of high school students in an effort to mount a fresh adaptation of “Romeo and Juliet,”

There are now more than over 100,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus across the continent, with a number of African countries imposing a range of prevention and containment measures against the spread of the pandemic.
According to the latest data by the John Hopkins University and Africa Center for Disease Control on COVID-19 in Africa, the breakdown remains fluid as countries confirm cases as and when.
As of May 13, every African country had recorded an infection, the last being Lesotho.

Mr Tony Elumelu.
FILE PHOTO | Tony Elumelu has urged Kenyans and the general African community to adopt homegrown solutions and support enterprises that engage local populace in economic activities.
Speaking in a virtual New York Forum Institute-convened roundtable Mr Elumelu ( above with President Kenyatta) said the Covid-19 pandemic provides Africans with an opportunity to come up with own solutions for their socio-economic problems.
We need a martial plan that galvanises the entire continent into a major source of solutions that is less dependent on the ‘circularity of debt’ from developed nations,” said Mr Elumelu who is the chairman of the Nigeria-headquartered UBA bank, a pan-African lender with subsidiaries in Kenya and 19 other African countries.
The roundtable attended by Presidents Uhuru Kenyatta, Niger’s Mahamadou Issoufou, Alassane Ouattara(Cote d’Ivoire), Macky Sall (Senegal) and Sierra Leone’s Julius Bio vouched for entrenchment of homegrown solutions that locals relate with easily.

Ouagadougou is the capital and largest city of Burkina Faso. The Mossi people settled Ouagadougou in the fifteenth century. During this period, the Mossi expanded their territorial reach through the region south of the Niger River. By the sixteenth century Ouagadougou was the most powerful Mossi kingdom. Due to its proximity to the White Volta River, Ouagadougou was a vital location for agriculture. In 2003 an estimated 1,000,000 people resided in Ouagadougou.
Per Mossi oral history, the location was originally called Woge Zabra Soba Koumbemb’ tenga. The name means “Honored Chief Zabra Soba’s Village.” Mande-speaking traders changed the name, using Ouaga for “Woge” “and dougou for “village.” By the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, slavery played an important role in the region. The Mossi used the local population as slaves to work as domestic and agricultural workers.
As European countries staked claims to African territories after the Partition of Africa, France established a foothold in the Mossi region. In 1887 Louis Binger, a French explorer, visited Ouagadougou and noted its suitability for a “labor reserve” for the French. In particular, the French needed labor for cotton cultivation in the Niger River basin. Initially, the Mogho Naaba Wogbo, the Mossi leader, resisted Binger’s overtures to establish the region as a French protectorate. France seized the region by force in 1896. In 1904 the region became a part of the colony Haut-Sénégal-Niger. Although the French officially ended slavery in 1901, thousands in the Upper Volta region were conscripted into the French military and forced to work in the cotton fields. French labor and tax policies led to an anti-tax march in Ouagadougou in 1908, one of the earliest protests of colonial rule.
Ouagadougou’s population grew to nearly 20,000 during World War I. Upper Volta became a separate colony in 1919 and the French established Ouagadougou as its capital. Thousands were forced to build infrastructure in Ouagadougou. In particular, roads and railroads

While mourners filed past George Floyd’s body in a Free Will Baptist church in his hometown of Raeford, N.C., just 12 days after he was killed under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer, tens of thousands of people across the country and around the world came together to protest his death.
After many days of unrest, police beating protesters, police shoving elderly people, and police arresting journalists, for the first time in a generation — or perhaps in history — the civil rights of Black people appear to finally matter to almost everyone.
In Minneapolis, the city where George Floyd was killed by police, the state has already withdrawn its curfew and is sending state troopers and National Guard members home.

Affi N'Guessan Next Ivorian President?
Pascal Affi N'Guessan, 67, once a close associate of former Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo, officially announced Saturday that he will be a candidate for the presidency in the upcoming October elections in an attempt to close the chapter on the blood-drenched and 2-decade crisis in the country. \"I am a candidate to win and we are going to win because The Rally of Houphouëtists for Democracy and Peace (RHDP), the ruling party) has failed, is exhausted, and forced to call ADO (Ivorian President Alassane Dramane Ouattara) for help,\" Affi N'Guessan said after an extraordinary congress of a branch of the Ivorian Popular Front (FPI) — where he currently heads a wing.
Since former President Gbagbo's transfer to The International Criminal Court (ICC) in 2011, the FPI has split into two factions. On one side, the \"renovators\" represented by Affi N'Guessan, who are involved in political life and have taken legal control of the party. On the other side, the old-timers known as the \"GOR\" (\"Gbagbo or nothing\"), who have since boycotted the polls in the absence of the former president but still associate themselves with the party.
In the most recent events, politics in Côte d'Ivoire took an unexpected turn when Prime Minister Amadou Gon Coulibaly — who was the ruling party’s candidate, passed away suddenly.
Current Ivorian President, Alassane Ouattara, who has been in power since 2011, postponed his decision to run for a third term to mourn and pay respects to the late prime minister.
This could be Affi N'Guessan's second go-around against Ouattara, losing to him after amassing only 9.29% of the votes in the 2015 presidential elections — which were marked by widespread violence and fraud.
Running Rivals
Other candidates in the running this year are Former president, Henri Konan Bédié, nominated in July to run from the Democratic Party of Côte d'Ivoire (PDCI) — the main opposition movement and former foreign minister, Marcel Amon Tanoh, a dissident presidential candidate of the ruling party who declared his run about a week earlier.
Ten years after the post-electoral crisis that left more than 3,000 people dead, the October elections in Cote d’Ivoire promise to be intense.

Ambassador Sue Katherine Brown is a career member of the Senior Foreign Service with the rank of Minister Counselor. In 2011 President Barack Obama nominated her to become the U.S. Ambassador to Montenegro, the first African American to hold this post and only the second U.S. ambassador since Montenegro declared its independence from Serbia on June 3, 2006. Brown’s nomination was confirmed by the U.S. Senate and she presented her credentials to the President of Montenegro, Filip Vujanovi?, on Thursday, May 12, 2011.
A native of Houston, Texas, Brown joined the U.S. Foreign Service in 1980. Ambassador Brown worked in various capacities at the U.S. State Department between 1980 and her ambassadorial appointment in 2011. Her other overseas postings include France, Liberia, Kenya, Nigeria, and Côte dIvoire. Additionally while she served in Indonesia she helped coordinate U.S. aid efforts in response to severe flooding on some of the nation’s islands.
Ambassador Brown also served as Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassies in Accra, Ghana and Asmara, Eritrea. While serving in Accra, Ghana as Embassy Chargé d’Affaires (second in command) from 2006 to 2009, she was credited with leading a public service campaign that saved a number of young Ghanaian girls from sex trafficking.

Odumegwu Ojukwu , in full Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu (born November 4, 1933, Zungeru, Nigeria—died November 26, 2011, London, England), Nigerian military leader and politician, who was head of the secessionist state of Biafra during the Nigerian civil war.
Ojukwu was the son of a successful Igbo businessman. After graduating from the University of Oxford in 1955, he returned to Nigeria to serve as an administrative officer. After two years, however, he joined the army and was rapidly promoted thereafter. In January 1966 a group of largely Igbo junior army officers overthrew Nigeria’s civilian government but then were forced to hand power to the highest-ranking military officer, Major General T.U. Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi (also an Igbo); he appointed Lieutenant Colonel Ojukwu as military governor of the mostly Igbo Eastern region. However, Hausa and Yoruba army officers from the Northern and Western regions feared a government dominated by the Igbo, and in July 1966 northern officers staged a successful countercoup in which Lieutenant Colonel (later General) Yakubu Gowon was installed as the new head of state. Under Gowon’s rule, Ojukwu retained his command of the Eastern region. Meanwhile, the rising tide of feeling against the Igbo in the Northern region led to large-scale massacres of Igbos by northerners in May–September 1966.
The Eastern region felt increasingly alienated from the federal military government under Gowon. Ojukwu’s main proposal to end the ethnic strife was a significant devolution of power to the regions. The federal government initially agreed to this solution at a conference in January 1967 but then rejected it soon afterward. Ojukwu responded in March–April 1967 by separating the Eastern regional government’s administration and revenues from those of the federal government. Mounting secessionist pressures from his fellow Igbo finally compelled Ojukwu on May 30, 1967, to declare the Eastern region an independent sovereign state as the Republic of Biafra.
