Being disabled in Africa

World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

As the Paralympics begin, what's it like to have a disability in Africa? Many of you have been reacting to a Âé¶¹Éç video of Sierra Leone's only Paralympian. He has no home - so he's forced to live in an office at the National Stadium. What is it like to be a journalist in Kenya? Journalists have been protesting against harassment, even as reports emerged that one of their colleagues - a photo-journalist called Dennis Otieno - was reportedly shot dead in Kitale county. And we speak to passengers on trains in India with a controversial surge-pricing model about to be introduced on certain routes. Why has it provoked such anger? And what is the justification?
