Africa Today

One of the first people to publicly declare herself a transwoman in Nigeria 20 years ago and who had to flee the country, tells us about her experience to stand up for the rights of transgender people.    As Uganda launches the country's first interest-free commercial Islamic bank, we take a look at how Shariah compliant banking works.    And nurses from across the continent, meeting in Rwanda and Sweden, have voiced their concerns over the growing crisis in their profession and the ‘medical brain drain’. We get reaction to the claim that the recruitment of staff from the continent by western nations is “a new form of colonialism.”Presenter: Audrey Brown Producers: Yvette Twagiramariya, Nyasha Michelle, Rob Wilson, Richard Kagoe, Sunita Nahar Technical Producer: Ricardo McCarthy Senior Producer: Patricia Whitehorne Editors: Andre Lombard and Alice Muthengi
