Egypt, Morocco join Trump's Board of Peace

Morocco and Egypt are the only African nations in President Trump's Board of Peace. What's in it for Africa? And Namibia's 2019 fisheries corruption scandal to go to trial.

Morocco and Egypt are the only African nations in President Trump's Board of Peace. The body was initially meant to help implement a ceasefire in Gaza, but Trump says it could serve a wider role in ending global conflicts. We look at why Morocco and Egypt got the invitation to join the Board and what influence African countries will have, if any.

Also, seven years after a corruption scandal involving an Icelandic company and some government officials rocked Namibia’s fishing industry, the case is finally heading to trial. The whistleblower who leaked the evidence speaks for the very first time.
