Summary

In tonight's edition: DR Congo's President Felix Tshisekedi says that he would accept a third term "if the people" want it, following a constitutional referendum. Also, a French court orders the resumption of an investigation into accusations that the widow of Rwanda's ex-president Juvenal Habyarimana was involved in the 1994 genocide. Plus new allegations of secret detentions and abuse are emerging from Burkina Faso, where authorities are accused of holding a prominent investigative journalist in a covert facility.
