Former DRC president Joseph Kabila hits back as senators strip him of immunity
Africa 15:37 Former Democratic Republic of Congo president Joseph Kabila has spoken out a day after senators stripped him of immunity. He called the justice system "an instrument of oppression for a dictatorship". Meanwhile he now risks prosecution for his alleged backing of M23 rebels in the east of the country. Also in the programme, the US accuses Sudan's army of using chemical weapons in its civil war, triggering sanctions. Sudan denies the allegations, calling them political blackmail. And we're joined in studio by Awa Ly, the French-Senegalese singer-songwriter known for her rich vocals and poetic lyrics. She's back with a brand-new album inspired by the elements.
