What鈥檚 behind the protests in Africa this week?
There have been cost of living protests in Nigeria, protests in Kenya against the government鈥檚 tax plans and in Somalia over a deadly attack by al-Shabab militants

Across the continent, demonstrations have taken place in both Nigeria and Somalia too.
