Norway is to give an extra 3.3 million in aid to countries in West Africa's troubled Sahel region, where a string of successive coups has set off a vast humanitarian crisis. The Nordic nation has already donated 20 million euros so far this year.
Oslo's additional aid will go to Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad and will be channelled through the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
