Turkey closes Kurdish websites, Obama to address African Union, calls for statue removal

Why is Turkey blocking Kurdish websites? Barack Obama to become the first US leader to address the African Union. And, should statues honouring confederacy leaders be taken down?

We hear why Turkish authorities are shutting down Kurdish websites, days after launching airstrikes on Islamic State and PKK militants. Barack Obama will become the first US president to address the African Union when he speaks in Addis Ababa on Tuesday. And, should statues honouring confederacy leaders in the United States be taken down?
