On this edition of Africa 54, Ivory Coast's Prime Minister, Hamed Bakayoko, dies of cancer in Germany, where he was hospitalized; Tanzania's main opposition leader, Tundu Lissu, demands information on the health of President John Magufuli, a prominent COVID-19 skeptic whose absence from public view has brought speculation he is receiving medical treatment abroad.
