How Sudanese Christians celebrate Christmas in exile - Focus On Africa Podcast
Thousands of Sudanese Christians face Christmas away from home as the Sudan war continues.

We meet one of the young people who was at the forefront of the unprecedented #RejectFinanceBill2024 protests in Kenya.
And Ivorian chef Brice Assemian joins us in the studio to discuss - and serve up - the dish that the UN agency, Unesco, has declared a part of the unique heritage of Ivory Coast.
