Avec @Boukari Ouedraogo, Mondoblog se demande pourquoi l’énergie solaire n’est pas plus développée en Afrique. Avec 45 degrés à l’ombre pendant les périodes chaudes, le potentiel du continent est énorme. Pourtant, cette énergie propre et économiquement accessible reste sous exploitée, tandis que 650 millions d’Africains n’ont toujours pas accès à l’électricité. https://lemessagerdafrique.mondoblog.org/2016/03/24/delestages-energie-solaire-burkina-faso-ouagadougou/

In the 25 years since the Rwandan genocide, the country has emerged to become one of Africa’s most common success stories. 

Its remarkable recovery has stemmed from concerted efforts towards nation-building. 

But some critics argue this bid for ethnic reconciliation is incomplete. 

In this week’s Spotlight on Africa, RFI's Christina Okello takes you to Kigali to explore how Rwanda has dealt with the trauma of its past.

REPORT: Rwanda's road to reconciliation 25 years after genocide

The killing of journalists at Charlie Hebdo five years ago prompted TV producer Laurent Richard to continue the work of assassinated reporters.

He set up the NGO Forbidden Stories, an international consortium of journalists determined to keep the stories of their colleagues alive.

In their new documentary Green Blood, Richard and his partners expose the global pattern of harassment and intimidation facing journalists who try and report on environment issues.

Richard was in our studios this week and sat down to talk with RFI's Christina Okello.

Environment journalists at risk, new documentary shows

Uganda became the first African country last week to deploy a nationwide digital registry to improve transparency of its land sector.
The system, operating in some 22 districts, is aimed at reducing fraud and the time it takes to carry out transactions.
Fake land titles are one of the many tricks conmen use to dupe potential buyers.
That could soon change, says Christophe Dekeyne, CEO of French company IGN FI behind the digitisation process. He spoke to RFI's Christina Okello.

Critics have hit out at a decision by Uganda's parliament to award MPs 10 billion Ugandan shillings (2.4 million euros) to help them manage the coronavirus pandemic. They say the money was deducted from the health ministry's Covid-19 budget and should be given back.
Speaking to RFI's Christina Okello, opposition lawmaker Jonathan Odur accuses the government of using the coronavirus emergency response as an excuse to "defraud the nation."

Chroniques confinées - podcast "Dans la peau" de Frédérique Lebel, par Maëlane

Three women, who were arrested on suspicion of belonging to Boko Haram, went on retrial in Cameroon Friday on charges of espionage. 

The case dates back to 2014 when the women: Marie Dawandala, Damaris Doukouya and Martha Weteya, all aged 17 at the time, fled the Nigerian islamist group.

Instead of finding safety at home, they were arrested by Cameroonian authorities.

For Marie-Lina Samuel, Africa Project Coordinator with the organisation ECPM (Together Against the Death Penalty), the women found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Samuel spoke to RFI's Christina Okello.
