Ethiopia: Government reacts to opposition alliance

We hear reaction from Ethiopia’s government, as nine opposition groups including the TPLF join forces in an alliance, under the banner of The United Front of Ethiopian Federalist and Confederalist Forces.

Plus, we take a look at South Africa’s local election results with Ebrahim Fakir from the Auwal Socio-Economic Research Institute.

And we hear from Madagascar’s environment minister, with her country’s Grand Sud region on the brink of famine.
