Shownotes Transcript

Mozambique has already begun constructing homes for victims of Chido, which killed 73 people in the country, and battered Malawi after devastating the islands of Mayotte. United Nations human rights chief Volker Türk is calling for an end to the siege of El Fasher in North Darfur, which has resulted in hundreds of civilian deaths, more than a thousand injuries and widespread destruction of homes and infrastructure. Cameroon journalists are taking preemptive measures to prevent disinformation in the country’s election next year.
