Africa Daily

Available for over a year

This week the International Criminal Court sentenced two commanders of a civilian militia in the Central African Republic to a total of 27 years in prison. One of them, Patrice-Edouard Nga茂ssona, had formerly been the head of the country鈥檚 football federation. What was the conflict that engulfed CAR a decade ago, and what were the crimes that led to the ICC convictions? Also in this episode, the impact that continuing aid cuts are having on women and girls in Somalia. And we uncover the melodic contributions of Congo's queens of rumba music. Presenter: Audrey Brown Producers: Tom Kavanagh, Yvette Twagiramarya, Sunita Nahar and Tanya Hines in London Technical Producer: Jonathan Greer Senior Producer: Patricia Whitehorne Editors: Andre Lombard and Alice Muthengi
