Politicians of African descent earn top jobs in UK cabinet
Britain鈥檚 new Prime Minister, Liz Truss, has appointed the most diverse Cabinet ever, with four of the top offices of State - the ministries of finance, external affairs, interior, and trade - all being led by people of African descent.
International broadcaster and UN conference moderator, Henry Bonsu, who also has African heritage, says the appointments are "remarkable" but their support of some right-wing policies has troubled a lot of people within black-British communities.
