African perspectives on the US election
Reports and analysis of the day's political, economic and sports news from across Africa.
Focus gets two African perspectives on last week鈥檚 American election. How do events in the US compare with the stereotypical idea of an election in Africa? We speak to journalist and media analyst Sulaiman Aledeh in Nigeria and award-winning Nairobi-based political cartoonist Patrick Gathara.
Plus, the latest on fighting in Ethiopia鈥檚 Tigray region, will the federal government and the Tigrayan People鈥檚 Liberation Front heed African Union calls to end the hostilities?
And we get the latest on a potentially groundbreaking new HIV treatment, which is being developed at South Africa鈥檚 Wits Reproductive Health and HIV Institute.
