Also, the messy fallout from this week’s US presidential election hasn’t gone noticed in Africa. Some observers there see worrying parallels between the tactics of US President Donald Trump and chaotic leadership on the African continent. And properties have been flooded and communities displaced around Lake Naivasha in Kenya’s Rift Valley. Waters have historically been higher, but this year levels topped any seen since 1932.
