Tanzania's President Samia Suluhu Hassan has been sworn in after the deadly protests that followed her election victory. Can she use her second term to unite the country? At least 40 people have died in multiple landslides that struck Kenya and Uganda's mountainous border region in the Great Rift Valley. What makes that belt susceptible to such calamitous events and are they happening more frequently? And after two decades and an estimated cost of nearly $1bn, Egypt’s Grand Museum has opened its doors. One of the most anticipated exhibits is the tomb of Tutankhamun which is displayed in full for first time. But who was the young pharaoh, often referred to as the ‘boy king’?
