Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, son of Libya's ex-ruler, to stand for president

Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, who is the second son of the late deposed Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, has registered as a presidential candidate for the country’s December election, an official from the electoral commission said.

Plus, an investigation by the South African Human Rights Commission into the civil unrest in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng provinces in July, gets underway.

And now that the global summit on finding solutions to combat climate change has concluded, what did Africa get out of COP26?
