While the late Archbishop Emeritus was known as a fervent freedom fighter, a man who loved God, he also had an amazing sense of humour. His ability to laugh at himself at times made him real to many around him. But he was also critical of developments around the world where human rights were violated.

In Sudan, thousands of protesters once again marched in Khartoum and other cities, to protest against continued military rule. The protesters are opposed to the Sudanese army's decisions to dissolve the Sovereign Council and the Council of Ministers. They are also opposed to the political agreement signed between reinstated Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and the military leaders. Meanwhile the trial of former President Omar al-Bashir resumed in a court in the capital Khartoum under tight security.

CGTN spoke to Thembisa Fakude, a senior research fellow at Africa Asia Dialogues, for more on this development.
