About this episode
The episode discusses recent violence in Somalia, critiques of an African family values conference, and a new interactive gallery at Nigeria's National Museum.
In tonight's edition, opposition figures in Somalia accuse security forces of attacking them during a meeting at the home of the former prime minister. Also, critics of an African family values conference say that, despite its stated aim of helping the continent define its own moral principles and priorities, the gathering in Ghana could roll back LGBT rights. And in Nigeria, the National Museum is attracting a new generation of visitors with a revamped gallery designed to offer a more interactive, hands-on experience.
