Loading player...

Mozambique’s new president, Daniel Chapo, has been sworn in, after winning a violently disputed election held in October last year. Many people have been killed in clashes with the police and the opposition is still calling for protests. So what next for Mozambique under President Daniel Chapo? How will the China-based online giant Temu, now operating in Nigeria, affect similar local companies? Also in the podcast, we hear from the Kenyan woman who spent eight years in a Malaysian prison – more than three of them on death row – after being convicted for trafficking drugs, but was released when an appeals court accepted she was an ‘innocent carrier’.Presenter: Audrey Brown
