Reports and analysis of the day's political, economic and sports news from across Africa.

Ethiopia's prime minister Abiy Ahmed has been in Asmara to discuss a plan for the withdrawal of Eritrean troops, who have been present in Tigray since the conflict there began in November. The Ethiopian PM has now said that Eritrean forces will be pulled out. Focus on Africa gets the perspective of Mustafa Omer, president of Ethiopia's Somali Regional State.

Plus, we bring you the latest from Chato in Tanzania. It’s the home town of late president John Pombe Magufuli, and he’s been laid to rest there following his death last week.
