Focus on Africa - Fighting rocks Khartoum

We focus on Sudan where fighting has rocked the capital and other cities since Saturday, in bloody clashes which have left nearly 100 dead.

The forces of General Fatah Al Burhan, commander in chief of the army, and his rival, General Mohamed Hamndan Dagalo, head of the Rapid Support Forces are talking tough. Will either heed ceasefire calls coming from the UN and African and international bodies?

We hear from activists on the ground who say they only have food for one more day, and foreign students forced out of their hostels by the fighting.

Those stories in this podcast presented by Bola Mosuro.

Consider This from NPR - A Possible Explanation for Long COVID Gains Traction

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
