Description
Episode 5: Hidden Conflict - https://linktr.ee/dcnafricapodcast When it comes to conflict and socio-political unrest, all 5 regions of Africa have devastating stories to tell. Some conflicts are more well-known on a global stage than others, but in this episode, we’re going to zone in on 3 countries in particular: Ethiopia, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The host, Aurra, also sits down with Innocent Mpoki, a Zimbabwean 4th year PhD Student of African Politics at Boston College in the U.S., to discuss the history, patterns and prevalence of coups in Africa. Finally, in this episode's News and Updates, we’ll be looking at South Africa’s glass-ceiling breaking new wearable technology, an update on the tech funding scene in Africa and the African Telecommunications Union’s latest report.
