It's time now for the Friday edition of The Discourse, and this morning we're focusing on the lasting impact of political violence on children and young people in Africa. While conflict often grabs headlines for its immediate toll, new research suggests its effects can persist for years, increasing the risk of emotional, physical and sexual violence long after the fighting has ended. The study, spanning nine African countries, highlights what researchers describe as the long shadow of political violence. To unpack the findings and what they mean for policymakers and communities, Peter Ndoro spoke to Dr Olusegun Fadare, Lecturer in Development Economics at the University of Greenwich and co-author of the study

The latest Henley Passport Index has revealed a widening gap in global travel freedom, with Singapore retaining the world's most powerful passport, offering visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 192 destinations.
