Description:

In January this year DR Congo's Justice Minister Constant Mutamba said 127 people, aged between the ages of 18 and 35, had received the death sentence. Rights groups said that number was higher. The DRC government had announced it would resume executions in 2024 following a two-decade hiatus. Who are these men and why have they been sentenced to death?

Also, why are global powers interested in the Seychelles, the smallest country in Africa?

And we hear why, it really does take a village to raise a child!
