Sudan on Tuesday marked two years of a war that has killed tens of thousands of people, displaced 13 million and triggered the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Meanwhile, violence continues in the city of El Fasher. At least 57 civilians have been killed in just one day. Jens Laerke, deputy spokesperson of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, brings us the latest on the humanitarian situation.

Ghana has given foreign traders until May 1 to quit its gold trading market, paving the way for a new government-controlled body to have a monopoly on buying and selling the metal.

We bring you a special edition of Eye on Africa, two years after the outbreak of war in Sudan. Tens of thousands of people have been killed and more than 13 million uprooted, with reports of rape being used as a weapon of war across the country.

Violence intensified in Sudan over the weekend. Since the regular army took control of the capital Khartoum last month, paramilitary forces have stepped up attacks on refugee camps around the Darfur city of El Fasher, including Zamzam camp. Home to more than half a million refugees, it has been the scene of heavy shelling and gunfire over the past two days.

Gabonese are set to vote in presidential elections on Saturday, the first since the 2023 coup that toppled the Bongo dynasty after 56 years in power.

Remadji Hoinathy from the Institute for Security Studies joins us to analyse what's at stake in the election.

It was supposed to be a defining moment, but peace talks between the Congolese government and M23 rebels scheduled for this Wednesday in Doha have been postponed. It would have been the first direct talks since M23 fighters seized eastern DR Congo's two largest cities, Goma and Bukavu. The swift offensive has left thousands dead, driven hundreds of thousands more from their homes and raised fears of a wider regional conflict. We speak to Beverly Ochieng, Senior Analyst at Control Risks.

In South Africa, the African National Congress (ANC) says it remains committed to its coalition with the Democratic Alliance (DA). Relations between the two parties had become shaky after the DA voted against the national budget passed last week. The DA challenged the vote in court before deciding whether or not to remain in what South Africans call the government of national unity.

In DR Congo, President Felix Tshisekedi has visited those left homeless by floods in the capital over the weekend. Heavy rains have killed more than 30 people and caused widespread destruction. Kinshasa is prone to frequent and deadly flooding during the rainy season, which is particularly dangerous for low-income neighbourhoods. 

Trade tariffs imposed by the Trump administration continue to send shockwaves across the world. We get reactions from Lesotho, which fears the 50 percent tariff could be a death blow to its economy.

US President Donald Trump has called tariffs the "most beautiful word" in the dictionary. Some African countries might disagree. Lesotho was slapped with the White House's highest tariff rates in a list released on Wednesday, with a whopping 50 percent import tax. Other countries hit include Madagascar with 47 percent and South Africa with 30 percent. South Africa's trade minister says it's now actively working on new opportunities.
