His dream was a strong and united Africa: We take a look back at the life of Ghana's Independence figure Kwame Nkrumah, who died half a century ago.
Ghana has produced seven boxing world champions and most of them came from Bukom, an area of Accra where crumbling colonial-era houses stand beside corrugated iron shacks.
Twenty years ago, one of the longest, most brutal and deadliest wars of the last century ended in Angola. In 27 years, this conflict left nearly 1 million people dead and displaced 4 million. It has also left the country in ruins: In 2002, 60 percent of Angolans did not have access to drinking water and 30 percent of children died before the age of five. Has the West African country recovered from these dark years? We find out in this report by Clément Bonnerot, Dombaxi Sebastiao, Evan Claver and Juliette Dubois.
In tonight's edition: Human Rights Watch accuses Russian private security forces invited into Central African Republic of killing civilians. We speak to the daughter of Rwandan opposition figure Paul Rusesabagina. The 'Hotel Rwanda' hero's family has filed a $400 million lawsuit against Kigali over alledged kidnapping and torture. And our reporters look into the mixed Press Freedom rankings for Africa.
Sixty years ago, Algeria won its independence after a brutal war with France. Plenty of documentation exists on the 1954-1962 Algerian War, but one topic remains extremely taboo: the systemic rape of Algerian women by French soldiers during the conflict. Survivors have yet to see justice, and time is running out. FRANCE 24's Florence Gaillard reports.
