Ethiopia votes in election overshadowed by conflict and delays - a podcast by BBC World Service

Millions of Ethiopians have cast their vote in a much anticipated and delayed election. But the Electoral Commission has expressed concerns over access to observers; Guinea is finally declared free of Ebola after fighting off the latest outbreak with a record-low number of infections and deaths. And ECOWAS leaders meet to discuss a common strategy against the spillover of mercenary fighters from Libya who threaten security in the West Africa region.
