- As the birthplace of coffee and one of Africa's largest producers, Ethiopia is looking to capture more value from the commodity at home. Coffee accounts for around 35% of the country's exports, but for years much of it has been exported as green beans, leaving limited value to be generated through local processing. Now, producers and exporters, backed by the sector's regulator, are increasingly turning to value-added coffee products in a bid to boost earnings from one of Ethiopia's most important exports.

- The Sudanese army is reported to have captured Al-Mazroub, a strategic town in North Kordofan, in its ongoing war with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Senior military officers say the town was a major RSF stronghold, making its recapture a potentially significant development in the fight for control of the wider Kordofan region. Kordofan is strategically important because it links western and central parts of Sudan, serving as a key corridor for troop movements, supply routes and territorial control.
