Sudan's conflict: The impact on children

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

The ongoing war in Sudan and limited access to humanitarian aid has led to starvation amongst those left behind. The United Nations says children are being "reduced to skin and bones." We'll hear from people within the country. Also, are Kenya's dreams of becoming a footballing superpower in jeopardy? And how are young African scientists using Charles Darwin’s historical voyage to protect species on the continent? Presenter: Audrey Brown Producers: Tom Kavanagh, Patricia Whitehorne and Stefania Okereke in London. Jewel Kiriungi and Charles Gitonga in Nairobi. Technical Producer: Chris Ablakwa Senior Journalist: Yvette Twagiramariya Editors: Andre Lombard and Alice Muthengi
