BBC World News - Focus on Africa
src: ichef.bbci.co.uk
Not be confused with the magazine Focus on Africa or the radio programme of the same name broadcast on the BBC World Service.

Focus on Africa is a BBC news programme broadcast on BBC World News globally and on local partner channels of the BBC in African countries. The programme was presented by Komla Dumor each weekday from its inception until his death in January 2014. The programme includes news, sport and business from across Africa and around the world.

The programme was closely related to Dira ya Dunia, an African-focused programme broadcast on BBC Swahili; which noticeably used the same title sequence.
