DW News Africa with Tomi Oladipo, 7 November 2024

His predecessor as president, Mokgweetsi Masisi, tells DW News Africa it's important to respect democracy even when you lose. Plus: Trump is back. We look at US-Africa relations over the next four years. And in Kenya: Dozens killed or abducted since protests began in June.
