Focus on Africa: Who are the CAR commanders jailed for war crimes?


Listen Later

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 Ngaïssona, had formerly been the head of the country’s 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.
