Niger's presidential guard sealed off the residence and offices of president Mohamed Bazoum Wednesday, a source close to Bazoum said, while describing the move as a "fit of temper" by the elite in what the presidency said was an uprising in "vain." In Chad, some Sudanese refugees who were separated while fleeing the conflict in Sudan's Darfur region had a tearful reunion in a refugee camp near the border town of Ourang. Plus, a scuffle broke out in Nigeria between state security officers and prison officials as the country's suspended Central Bank governor, Godwin Emefiele, appeared in court Tuesday, after a month of been out of the public's eye, and more.
