Roundtable discussion on reparations in Africa

South Africa's foreign policy is under renewed scrutiny as Parliament prepares to debate the escalating crisis in the Middle East following reported strikes involving the United States, Israel and Iran.

The debate, brought forward by Mmusi Maimane of Build One South Africa, is expected to examine not only the geopolitical fallout but also South Africa's long-standing relationship with Iran. A new report by the Middle East Africa Research Institute raises questions about whether this relationship is driven by ideology, strategic interests, or something more complex.

To unpack these issues, Lulu Gaboo spoke to Benji Shulman, the Executive Director of the Middle East Africa Research Institute (MEARI).

South Africa's foreign policy under scrutiny

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda have agreed to a series of coordinated steps to de-escalate tensions and advance progress on the ground. This is according to a joint statement by the United States (US), the DRC and Rwanda, released by the United States Department of State on Wednesday. This follows this week's meeting hosted by the US, where senior officials from the two countries met to revive the stalled peace process in eastern DRC.

The latest development comes after the collapse of the Washington Accords for Peace and Prosperity, an agreement signed in December aimed at ending decades of conflict and fostering regional stability.

Lulu Gaboo spoke to DRC political analyst Didier Bayeye.

Republic of the Congo is awaiting the results of Sunday's general elections, with expectations that 82-year-old President Denis Sassou Nguesso will win.

 Observers say voter turnout in the oil-rich Central African country was low. Six candidates stood against Sassou Nguesso, but the main opposition has been divided and largely absent. The former paratrooper colonel is already one of Africa's longest-serving leaders, alongside Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea and Paul Biya of Cameroon.

Lulu Gaboo spoke to Amnesty International member and Activist Jurol Loemba.
