There have been protests and violence after a tightly-contested presidential election in Zimbabwe.
The military is on the streets and despite calls for calm a tense situation may be about to get worse.
The vote was supposed to have marked a milestone.
It was the first in 40 years not to be dominated by former president Robert Mugabe.
The long-time leader was forced out by the military last year following massive street protests.
His replacement was Emmerson Mnangagwa, a former vice president who had earlier fallen out with Mugabe.
But in the wake of Monday's vote international observers from both the European Union and the Commonwealth have expressed concern about the election, as has the UN Secretary General.

Mnangagwa's ruling ZANU-PF won the majority of seats in parliament.
But the opposition says the vote wasn't fair or transparent, and results of the presidential vote have been delayed.
Opposition supporters have taken to the streets and were met there by the military, who have crack down harshly, killing at least three people.

Is there a peaceful way forward for Zimbabwe?

Dirty tricks, alleged impostors, systems stacked against him: Zimbabwe's main opposition leader walks away from his party, accusing the ruling ZANU-PF of using underhand tactics to torpedo the CCC. Nelson Chamisa's critics say he's to blame for the failure. Also, Ghana's first treason case in half a century ends in a death-by-hanging sentence for six people convicted over a coup plot in 2019.

Racial tensions are on the rise in Tunisia's second biggest city of Sfax. That's after a Tunisian man was stabbed to death three days ago in a fight between locals and migrants. Three suspects from Cameroon have been arrested since then. But clashes between Tunisians and migrants from other African countries have gone on for weeks now. Security and economic concerns and the growing number of migrants coming through on their way to Italy have all played a role in rising tensions. FRANCE 24's Correspondents Lilia Blaise, Hamdi Tlili and Fadil Aliriza report.

The political crisis in Tunisia has intensified following President Kais Saied's decision to dissolve parliament. This comes in the wake of freezing it in a power grab last July. The decree came just hours after the members of the last house held a plenary session online. The MP's voted to end his measures, which included the suspension of the chamber and the sacking of the prime minister, along with the seizure of legislative and judicial powers. Sami Hamdi, Managing Director of the International Interest, a global risk and intelligence company, joins us to unpack what's happening in Tunisia.

Tunisia is often called the only success story of the Arab Spring.

But ten years on, its democracy is looking fragile.

President Kais Saied has defended sacking the Prime Minister and suspending parliament, saying he acted lawfully under the constitution.

Tunisia's biggest political party, Ennahda, is calling for a national dialogue.

While some celebrated the President's decisions, others are warning of a return to authoritarianism.

So could Tunisia return to dictatorship?
