Add caption Image copyright GETTY IMAGES Image caption King Salman (C) acceded to the throne in 2015 Saudi Arabia has sacked its top military commanders, including the chief of staff, in a series of late-night royal decrees. Saudi King Salman also replaced the heads of the ground forces and air defences. The news was published by the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA), but no reason for the sackings was given. They come as the war in Yemen, where a Saudi-led coalition is fighting rebels, is nearing the end of its third year. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is also the defence minister, is believed to be behind various recent shake-ups in the country. Last year dozens of prominent Saudi figures, including princes, ministers and billionaires, were locked up in Riyadh's five-star Ritz-Carlton hotel as  the prince led a drive against corruption and abuse of power .

New South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced his cabinet, making substantial changes to ministerial positions. He reappointed Nhlanhla Nene as finance minister, reversing his sacking by the former President Jacob Zuma. Mr Zuma, who is facing charges of corruption, was forced to stand down earlier this month by his own party. Mr Ramaphosa took over, promising a "new dawn" for the country and pledging to be tough on corruption.

Kwa wengi, mwezi wa Februari ambao kawaida umekuwa ukihusishwa na mapenzi unakaribia kufikia ukingoni, na wengi wameanza kuisahau Siku ya Wapendanao. Kwa Samuel Githae na Zipporah Njeri, siku hii maarufu kwa upendo ilikuwa mwanzo wa matukio ambayo yamechangia kuinuliwa kwao kutoka kwa maisha ya kutotambuliwa mjini hadi kuwa watu mashuhuri. Wamekuwa bila makao rasmi, wakilala barabarani, kwenye vituo vya filamu na wakati mwingine katika nyumba za marafiki zao. Lakini sasa watahamia katika nyumba mpya rasmi Jumamosi, ambayo wamelipiwa kodi na mhisani. Isitoshe, wataabiri ndege kwa mara ya kwanza kwenda likizoni katika hoteli moja ya ufukweni pwani ya Kenya wiki ijayo. "Siamini kwamba nitapanda ndege," Njeri aliambia BBC, akionekana mwenye furaha, akipigapiga mikono kama ndege anayejiandaa kupaa. Yote yalianza kutokana na wazo la mpiga picha Johnson Muchiri kutoka kwa kampuni ya Muchiri Frames, na wafanyakazi wenzake, kutaka kufanya jambo la kipekee. Jacinta N...
