Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Human Rights Watch reported Sunday that more than three hundred villagers were massacred in Congo in December, and that the infamous armed group known as the Lords Resistance Army was responsible. Despite the presence of UN peacekeepers and stepped-up U.S. military assistance, the region and its overlapping conflicts remain stubbornly unstable. We examine U.S. relations with Congo and Uganda, and why the violence is only coming to light now.
Guests

- Thierry Vircoulon Central Africa Project Director, International Crisis Group
