Focus on Africa

How different will the Rwanda-DRC peace deal be?


Listen Later

There is a glimmer of hope that three decades of conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo could end after the government agreed a draft peace deal with Rwanda, a country accused of funding the M23, a group that has taken over some significant towns in the east of DRC. Representatives of the two countries will formally sign the agreement next week. But will this deal brokered by the United States work where others have failed?

Also, Egypt scrambles for gas supplies after Israel's oil refineries are struck by Iranian strikes and we examine whether other countries in Africa have been affected too.

And a bra-scandal: why female staff members at a university in Nigeria were touching the breasts of students before allowing them to take an exam.
