British journalist Mark Doyle, best known for his reporting on conflicts in Africa in the 1990s and 2000s, has died after a short illness. After living in Africa, he joined the BBC in 1986. Doyle became East Africa correspondent in 1993 and made his mark covering the Rwandan genocide a year later. As West Africa correspondent from 1997 to 2002, he reported on Sierra Leone's brutal civil war and aftermath of Liberia's conflict.

The BBC's Andrew Harding, who worked with Doyle, paid tribute to his former colleague in a 2015 article, published to mark his departure from the national broadcaster.
