George Alagiah’s passing is such sad news. It was a privilege to have worked with him and shared countless African experiences, most notably in Lusaka in 1990 on the day after Nelson Mandela walked free. An assignment with George meant working with the best. @BBCAlagiah
That’s #Gallipoli remembered. Ben Wallace and James Cleverly head back to the office to deal with the here and now: Sudan

It’s with a heavy heart that we have had to suspend @BBCNews operations in Russia until we assess impact of new laws which outlaw independent journalism. Thoughts with colleagues in Moscow whose voices cannot be silenced for long.

So impressed by the calm work of @bbclysedoucet and @CliveMyrieBBC from their Kyiv basement

He did much so more than coin the title The Rainbow Nation. Bishop #DesmondTutu got down and dirty to dig #SouthAfrica's foundations for the new democracy that so disappointed him. He had the most apposite expressions even if is was only a mischievous chuckle. Rest in peace.

Tomorrow marks 20 years since #Eritrea arrested the country's most high-profile dissidents. They haven’t been seen since. Join @amnesty’s new campaign #WhereAreEritreasDissidents to pressure @hawelti to share information about their fate or whereabouts. amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
Remembering former Zambian president, Kenneth Kaunda, a towering figure in post-colonial Africa. I first met him at State House in Lusaka in 1987, and again 20 years later when SADC was grappling with the issue of Zimbabwe
