Kenyan authorities have arrested two more individuals in the ongoing investigation into the Mukuru case, where a suspected serial killer has confessed to the murders of 42 women. This follows the arrest of the primary suspect on Monday, who the police believe is responsible for the serial killings.
In May, Burundi held a presidential election which was won by Evariste Ndayishimiye, candidate of the ruling National Council for the Defense of Democracy - Forces for the Defense of Democracy (CNDD-FDD) party.
Ndayishimiye was hurriedly sworn in after the untimely death of president Pierre Nkurunziza in June.
Rights violations continue
The Council encouraged donor countries which had suspended aid to Burundi to continue dialogue towards resumption of development assistance.
A report by a UN watchdog in September said human rights violations were still being committed in Burundi, including sexual violence and murder.
The country was plunged into a crisis in April 2015 when Ndayishimiye’s predecessor Pierre Nkurunziza decided to run for a controversial third term, which he ultimately won in July 2015.
His candidature, which was opposed by the opposition and civil society groups, resulted in a wave of protests, violence and even a failed coup in May 2015.
Hundreds of people were killed and over 300,000 fled to neighboring countries.

A young black man filmed by a security camera walking through a home under construction in December and in February may have stopped at the site for a drink of water, according to an attorney for the homeowner thrust into the investigation of the fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery.
On Friday, an attorney for the owner of the house under construction released three security camera videos taken Dec. 17, more than two months before the shooting.
A man in similar clothes appears briefly in another security video taken at the home construction site Feb. 11, less than two weeks before the shooting.
Attorneys for Arbery’s parents have said security camera video from the same home construction site Feb. 23 shows Arbery on the property right before the shooting.
Travis McMichael, 34, called 911 to report a possible trespasser on English’s property the night of Feb. 11, less than two weeks before Arbery was shot.

Kenya adopted the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework as one of the pilot countries in 2017.
The Dadaab complex is illustrative of how the changes in refugee policy have worked - and not worked.
The aim of both the Global Compact on Refugees and the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework was to bring refugees in from the fringes of society to enable them to benefit from national education, health and employment opportunities.
These prioritise job and life skills that refugees could use whether they remain in Dadaab, resettle in another area of Kenya, or move back to Somalia.

The Ameris may be 'bosom buddies', but their conduct on a recent Parliamentary Zoom call has landed the Argentine MP in seriously hot water.
That truth was on stunning display Monday in Kansas City, Missouri, after the mayor there revealed a series of racist text messages he received after issuing an order for everybody within city limits to wear a mask or face covering while out in public.
The person who sent it seemed to be fooled by some amateur photoshopping work that falsely purported to show Lucas promoting anti-police sentiment which, coupled with the order about wearing masks in public, resulted in a “racial slur and subtle death threat” in a text message to the mayor, Lucas tweeted on Monday.
The text messages Lucas got said the mayor had “disrespected” the white cops and that he was going “to post these messages so everyone can see you don’t respond to whites.”
The exchange was reminiscent of a racist text message that Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms received after she delayed the re-opening of Atlanta over concerns about COVID-19.
Lucas’ order for mandatory face masks worn in public came as some states were seeing a surge in coronavirus cases in an indication that the public health battle being waged by America was not close to ending anytime soon.

Recalling a major security incident that took place on Friday, 12th October 2012 – a month before elections were held in Sierra Leone, right in the heart of the business district of Freetown, involving the heavily armed motorcade of president Ernest Bai Koroma and the convoy of the then opposition SLPP presidential candidate – Retired Brigadier Julius Maada Bio, which could have led to catastrophic loss of life on both sides and another bloody civil war.
Thanks to the foresight, fortitude and cool-headedness of president Ernest Bai Koroma, and his quick decision to avert a bloody and catastrophic shoot-out between the heavily armed State security personnel and Maada Bio’s personal guards, the police successfully negotiated the traffic, bringing the standoff to a satisfactory end without a single shot fired, nor was Maada Bio arrested.
Palo Conteh (Photo) walked into State House with his shoulder bag carrying his gun, wrongfully bypassing the security scanner at the entrance, just as Maada Bio in 2012 wrongfully – and some may say foolishly, drove his convoy straight into the direction of the oncoming motorcade of the sitting president – Ernest Bai Koroma.
Maada Bio may have been able in 2012 to plead mitigating circumstances or ignorance of the president’s route of travel, but there is no doubt he made the wrong decision, just as Palo Conteh did on the 19th of March 2020 – carrying his gun into State House.
If found guilty by a justice system that is polarised by politics, he will face the gallows where he will be hanged until he draws his last breath – just for mistakenly and foolishly walking into State House with a gun which he handed over to security for safe keeping before his meeting with president Julius Maada Bio on the second floor.

A family-run eatery in Prince George's County known for its seafood, service and house band, and a favorite among the local African-American community, now finds itself under fire after a reported racial incident between the owner and a customer.
Just over a week ago, a Black man attempted to enter the restaurant seeking to place his order when, allegedly, the owner blocked his entrance, saying that he could not come in wearing a T-shirt which said, \"I can't breathe.\"
The T-shirt's message, which references the recent death of George Floyd and other Black men at the hands of law enforcement, has become a rallying cry for protesters both in the U.S. and around the world as they've taken to the streets demanding change within police departments including the need for de-escalation policies and defunding.
Eventually, allegedly due to the outrage of employees who are mostly Black, the owner relented – allowing Rollins and his family to enter and even providing free food and drinks.
Cory Brim, a Black business owner and regular patron of The Fish Market, has employed social media over the past few days, posting interviews he's held with several people as they marched with signs and voiced their displeasure.
NASCAR announced on June 21 that a noose was left in the garage stall of driver Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. before Sunday’s scheduled Cup race at Talladega Superspeedway in Lincoln, Alabama, on Sunday.
Wallace, born to a white father and Black mother, is NASCAR’s only Black full-time driver.
Some against NASCAR’S decision drove past Talladega Superspeedway’s main entrance and flew Confederate flags.
“As we have stated unequivocally, there is no place for racism in NASCAR, and this act only strengthens our resolve to make the sport open and welcoming to all.”
Wallace sent his own statement about the noose on Monday, June 22.

NEW YORK (AP) — A Fox News reporter was pummeled and chased by protesters who had gathered outside the White House early Saturday as part of nationwide unrest following the death of George Floyd.
Demonstrators also broke windows and vandalized the Atlanta office building where CNN is headquartered, and police in Louisville, Kentucky, apologized on Saturday after an officer fired what appeared to be pepper bullets at a television news crew.
Suzanne Scott, CEO of Fox News Media, said in a memo on Saturday that Fox was taking all necessary security precautions to protect its journalists covering the story.
CNN’s headquarters in Atlanta was targeted later Friday by a group of protesters who also fought with police and set cars afire.
In Louisville, WAVE-TV was on the air covering a demonstration when video showed a police officer aiming a rifle at reporter Kaitlin Rust and her crew.
