- Description
- Kenya's capital, Nairobi, is currently facing a water shortage due to factors like changing weather patterns and ageing water facilities.
Residents in informal communities like Kibera pay private vendors for water, meaning they now control the supply and access to water in the community.
However, the price women and girls are paying is a lot more than just money.

- Description
- A BBC investigation has uncovered a global network of Nigerian separatists based outside the country using social media to spread false information and call for violence against their opponents. It’s revealed what’s been described as a ‘troll farm’ operating worldwide, contravening social media guidelines against hate speech and disinformation.
The investigation by the BBC's Global Disinformation Team found supporters of the Indigenous People of Biafra, or IPOB, reaching tens of thousands of followers with violent broadcasts, sometimes switching into local languages to avoid moderation from social media platforms.

However, she and her husband Meekeh have been able to adapt their lifestyle, and some equipment, to make sure that they can do activities as a family.
Meekeh's handiwork has resulted in a wheelchair that doubles as a car seat and a harness, which allowed Kappy to walk with her son on the beach - a moment she describes as the "highlight" of her life.
After conquering Mount Longonot together, they are now planning on climbing Mount Kenya as a family.

As they tried to escape the carnage, many Africans were treated like second class citizens. Reports of discrimination at Ukraine’s western borders were widespread with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, acknowledging racist treatment.
BBC Africa journalist, Peter Okwoche, was at the Polish border reporting on the African experience days after war broke out. In the weeks which followed, he also spoke to many Africans still caught up in the conflict.

- Africa is rich with a variety of traditional religions and spiritual belief systems. However during the colonial period missionaries spread Christianity throughout the continent, and suppressed many of these pre-existing belief systems.
Africans continued to follow their traditional belief, in smaller numbers than before, and these faiths still exist today.
Younger African people, particularly women, have found these religions and spiritual belief systems can help them learn more about their heritage and forge their own identities apart from the colonial legacy of the continent.
BBC Africa spoke to three practitioners of these belief systems, a sangoma, or faith healer, Amanda Gcabashe, an urban mystic, Mildred Otieno and an Orisha priestess IyalorisaOmitonade Ifawemimoas well as Professor Jacob Olupona, of Havard University, a leading expert in African indigenous religion

For hundreds of millions of Africans, Christianity is the cornerstone of their existence. But an explosion of rogue pastors exploiting the trust and belief of their followers for profit and power has led to a fight for the soul of Christianity in Africa.
Africa Eye reporter Peter Macjob travels to Uganda to meet the new religious movements rejecting Christian conventions, the traditional pastors working hard to maintain their flocks, the families who have suffered tragic losses at the hands of rogue pastors, and those who have abandoned religion altogether. With charlatans and conmen preying on the faith of millions, what is the future for believers in Uganda and across Africa?

- Africa Eye exposes dodgy driving licences and dangerous vehicles on Kenya’s killer roads.
Have the network of roads which criss-cross Kenya become death traps? Between 2020 and 2021 Kenyan road deaths rose more than 20 per cent. Last year, more than 4,500 were killed and over 16,000 injured. The Kenyan Government says drunk driving, overloading, and speeding are among the top causes of the carnage. But is corruption also a factor?
Journalist Richard Chacha, himself paralysed in a road accident ten years ago, joins Africa Eye to expose rogue driving school employees who, for a fee, fix it for rookie drivers to get behind the wheel without ever having to take a driving test. Africa Eye also reveals how brokers take cash to beat the vehicle safety testing system, enabling taxis fit for the scrap heap to be driven on Kenya’s roads…and carry passengers.

The 22-year-old model took part in the 2021 Miss Face of Namibia beauty competition and won the Miss Congeniality category, as well as being named the third runner up overall.
Gracia said it felt important to speak her truth on a national platform as she wanted to be authentic about her advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community - especially following a number of high profile cases of discrimination against the community in Namibia in 2021.
Members of the LGBTQ+ community in many African countries feel they have to hide their orientation to avoid hostility and discrimination.

Drunk on your potion (Yeah)

Losing composure (Yeah, yeah)

- Description
- In exclusive, never heard before recordings believed to be of former Tunisian President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali, BBC News Arabic reveals the anxious telephone calls that helped seal the fate of his 23-year dictatorship and spark a wave of revolutions across the Middle East.
The recordings, which are strongly disputed by some, appear to show that, as protests rocked his feared police state, the president's closest aides urged him to stay away from the country.
'The Dictator's Last Calls' uses animation to recreate the last hours of President Ben Ali's rule as he made a dramatic flight to Saudi Arabia to take his family to safety while demonstrators overran the streets.
There has been speculation over the events that led President Ben Ali to flee Tunisia and these calls shed light on how his rule finally ended.
The BBC has had the recordings forensically analysed by audio experts who found no evidence of tampering or manipulation.
