US-Iran ceasefire and Africa
from Africa Today · host BBC
The US and Iran have announced a two week ceasefire which will see the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz - one of the largest transit routes for oil. The conflict in the Middle East has led to a shortage of fuel in many African countries, and cut off key exports from Africa to the Gulf. We ask if the stand off has triggered African countries to trade more with each other to offset the disruption brought about by the war. Also in Uganda, some refugees from neighbouring countries are finding it difficult to access land to bury their loved ones while others lay in unmarked graves. What's behind this?
