Government action against protesters force lawyers in Chad to down tools

Government action against protesters force lawyers in Chad to down tools.

Chadian lawyers have hung up their wigs and refuse to go to court, striking over the prosecution of 400 people who took part in the October protests.  They say the Government isn't abiding by the law.

Also, Malawi is the first African country to roll out WHO-recommended anti-malarial vaccine for under-fives.

Plus, we meet Ghanaian British novelist, Derek Owusu, whose latest novel - 'Losing the plot' - details the relationship of a Ghanaian mother and her son in a council estate in London.

And we get a response to a British museum returning Benin Bronzes to Nigeria.
