In the Democratic Republic of Congo, reactions of indignation and astonishment are multiplying after the circulation on social media of a video showing a woman who had just given birth being beaten by a doctor. According to feminist groups, this violence reveals a deeper, systemic problem in the care of pregnant women in the country.
Thirty years ago, while Algeria was in the grip of a civil war, seven monks from the Tibhirine monastery were kidnapped and then murdered. A few weeks later, the attack was claimed by the Armed Islamic Group (GIA). On May 30, only their heads were found. Their story shocked the world—but what remains of the investigation today?
The program also looks at the release in Africa of Allah Is Not Obliged, an animated feature film by director Zaven Najjar. The film adapts one of the most powerful novels in contemporary African literature.
Through the eyes of Birahima, a child soldier immersed in war, the story explores memory, political violence, and the place of childhood in armed conflicts.
It is a bold choice to use animation to tell such a difficult story—both an editorial and strategic decision led by committed producer Sébastien Onomo, head of Special Touch Studios, who advocates for African stories that are plural, authentic, and universal.
