Under pressure from the international community—much of it based on questionable statistics—some religious leaders in Malawi are backing a bill to allow more abortions in the country.

In July, the Malawian government drafted the Termination of Pregnancy Bill, which is still awaiting the parliament’s approval. The bill seeks to allow abortion in cases of rape, incest, fetal deformity, danger to the mother’s health, or mental or physical health complications. In Malawi, abortion is currently punishable by up to 14 years in jail.

Cameroon announced today that the multinational force fighting Boko Haram’s insurgency arrested more than 300 fighters and freed at least 2,000 captives across the region. As the crackdown on Boko Haram deepens, neighboring Nigeria has started plans to reconstruct the northeastern part of the country ravaged by the terror group.

Hundreds gathered at Kenya’s Garissa University on Saturday carrying candles, singing hymns, and sharing memories, to mark the one-year anniversary of the terror attack that killed 148 people, many of them Christians.

The event shed light on the pain and fear many still live with and the ongoing frustration over the government’s response to the attack.

The United Nations on Thursday said it is addressing accusations that international peacekeepers from at least three countries sexually assaulted more than 100 girls and women in Central African Republic (CAR)—the latest in a series of scandals of peacekeepers preying on locals.

The Ebola epidemic that killed more than 11,000 people in West Africa is no longer an international emergency, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared Tuesday. But more healing is yet to come for some of the countries that have battled the outbreak since December 2013.

Dr. Margaret Chan, WHO director general, said the Ebola emergency committee concluded the risk of an international emergency is low and the affected countries now have the capacity to respond rapidly to any new emergence of the virus.

Parents from Nigeria’s Chibok community and local authorities have confirmed a female suicide bomber held by Cameroon authorities is not one of the 276 schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram in 2014.

The Murtala Muhammed Foundation, a nonprofit organization involved in the search for the kidnapped girls, received pictures from Cameroon of the girl and another woman who was also arrested. Three parents from the Chibok Parents Association viewed the pictures on Wednesday and said she wasn’t among the kidnapped.

The ongoing conflict in South Sudan and the resulting food insecurity is forcing people to flee for Sudan, the UN refugee agency said on Tuesday. South Sudan’s crisis continues despite an ongoing peace agreement between the warring factions.

This instability has resulted in some 38,000 people leaving for parts of Sudan since the end of January, and UN officials believe the situation could worsen.
