DRC Opposition Urges Civil Disobedience
Martin Fayulu disputes court ruling declaring Felix Tshisekedi the presidential election winner.
Martin Fayulu disputes the constitutional court ruling declaring Felix Tshisekedi the presidential election winner, and has called on his supporters to protest. Some African leaders have congratulated Mr Tshisekedi on his victory – but the continent-wide organisation the African Union has yet to back the result and has postponed a delegation’s visit to the country. We’ll hear from the AU, Mr Fayulu himself, and ask what the international community is likely to do now.
Also in the programme: we’ll hear from one of Yemen’s ‘forgotten villages’, which haven’t received any aid since the war began four years ago; and we’ll discuss - should a prominent profile on social media let you jump the queue when applying for asylum?
