On the northern tip of Kenya, 'Covid kidnappings' are a hazard, and al Shabaab force villagers to listen to fake news videos. But solar-powered camel ambulances are part of the fightback.

We look at fake appeals to African identity, and explore the role of the Nigerian WhatsApp diaspora on fake medical news and look at the roles and responsibilities of religious leaders.
