Ethiopia has restricted social media and messaging platforms, ahead of banned protests by both the Christian Orthodox Church and a splinter group of clerics. We look at the importance of the church in Ethiopia, and examine recent tensions and the schism in the church. Plus, we get reaction from South Africa, after President Cyril Ramaphosa delivers his State of the Nation address, announcing the declaration of a state of disaster over the country’s ongoing energy crisis. And we speak to a representative of the Azande Kingdom in South Sudan, which was restored a year ago, 117 years after the previous king was killed by British troops.
