EYE ON AFRICA © FRANCE 24

In tonight's edition: The family of slain Tunisian opposition politician Chokri Belaid say they feel some relief after his convicted killers were handed capital sentences. Belaid's assassination in 2013 sparked widespread unrest at a politically and socially turbulent time in Tunisia's history.

Also, South Africa's higher education ministry has ordered four private colleges to shut down, accusing them of making up exam results and failing to hand over years of financial statements. 

Plus, Malam Bacai Sanha Jr, the son of the late president of Guinea-Bissau, has been sent to prison in the United States for his involvement in an international heroin-trafficking conspiracy. 

Finally, a group of volunteers in Libya has been working daily to make sure that even those struggling to make ends meet can break their fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
