About this episode
Ethiopia and Eritrea could be headed towards war, according to regional experts and officials. The warnings stem from fresh instability in Ethiopia's Tigray region, where a civil war from 2020-2022 resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths. What's behind the recent tension?
Also, why is there a rise in the number of women being imprisoned?
And we consider the legacy of the internationally acclaimed South African playwright, Athol Fugard.
Presenter: Audrey Brown Technical Producer: Craig Kingham Producers: Yvette Twagiramariya, Stefania Okereke and Patricia Whitehorne Senior Journalist: Karnie Sharp Editors: Andre Lombard and Alice Muthengi
