Kenyan students back in the classrooms after nearly a year

New COVID-19 measures allow Kenyan students to be back in the classrooms

New COVID-19 measures allow Kenyan students to be back in the classrooms after months spent e-learning from home. We hear about the challenges (but also the happy discoveries) of parents who have had to pair up the day job with helping their children with homeschooling.

An emergency security meeting has taken place in Niger capital Niamey, following attacks on villages bordering Mali in which about one hundred people are thought to have lost their lives. A university student from Niamey tells us how the incident happened, and what this latest security meeting is expected to achieve.

We also speak to Moroccan writer Abdellah Ta茂a about his new book 鈥淎 country for dying鈥, shortlisted for the 2021 Pen America Literary Awards.

And we bring you an interview with Sudanese director Amjad Abu Alala, who just pitched his new film to the Oscars Academy Awards, a first for the country.
