EYE ON AFRICA © FRANCE 24

In Sudan, aid fails to get through but weapons are in ample supply. We hear from Sudanese campaigner Kholood Khair as she heads to New York to brief the UN Security Council on the crisis consuming her homeland. 

Also, in Kenya, just because the Olympics are coming to an end, that doesn't mean that the summer of sports is ending anytime soon. On August 28, the Paralympics begin, with Kenya sending a team of 14 athletes to compete for glory. Among them is veteran powerlifter Hellen Wawira Kariuki. 

Finally, Botswana's Letsile Tebogo sped to victory on Thursday night in the Olympic 200 metres. The 21-year-old won in 19.46 seconds, the fourth-fastest time in history, making him the first African to ever win the short distance at the tournament.
