US deportees causing concern in South Sudan

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

Residents of South Sudan's capital Juba have voiced concern for their safety after the arrival of eight deportees from the United States. The Trump administration have described them as ‘violent criminals’. Who are these men, what did they do and how did they end up in South Sudan? Also, another peace deal in the Central African Republic, but will it hold? And as we enter the half way point for the Women's Africa Cup of Nations we look at the challenges women once faced - and still face - in the game! Presenter: Richard Kagoe Producers: Tom Kavanagh and Sunita Nahar in London Technical Producer: Chris Ablakwa Senior Journalists: Karnie Sharp and Patricia Whitehorne Editor: Andre Lombard and Alice Muthengi
