Come and listen to the stories of countries facing major refugee crises that are under-represented in our mainstream media. The recent refugee crisis in the Arab world and Europe has taken the spotlight off sub-Saharan Africa. But a new report by UNHCR reveals that the situation in Africa in 2015 was also grim:

Somalia: 1,123,000 refugees; 1,133,000 internally displaced 
Nigeria: 168,000 refugees; 2,173,000 internally displaced
Congo: 541,000 refugees; 1,555,000 internally displaced

7:30pm Nigeria/Congo: Glory Kilanko, Women Watch Afrika
8:30pm Somalia: Hussein Mohamed, Sagal Radio
