In this edition we hear from the director of International Alert's Africa Programme, Cindy Chungong, about the heavy-handed response by security forces on the continent. In Kenya, a policeman enforcing the country's coronavirus curfew was recently charged with murdering a 13-year-old boy. Also, South Africa is bracing for its deepest economic slump in almost a century. The economy is expected to contract by over 7 percent.
