Nigeria pushes back on 'Christian genocide' claims

Nigeria rejects claims of a “Christian genocide,” saying violence stems from terrorism and land disputes, not religion, and that both Christians and Muslims have suffered attacks. Some Christian leaders however say there have been instances of Christians being specifically targeted.

Also in the programme: Malaria elimination is stalling in southern Africa as cases rise due to climate change, resistance, and reduced funding.   And Ghana is sending relief packages to Jamaica following the devastation of Hurricane Melissa. It's more than relief,  it's reinforcing historical and cultural connections between the two countries.

Presenter: Audrey Brown Producers:  Stefania Okereke, Sunita Nahar and Mark Wilberforce in London Senior Producer: Yvette Twagiramariya Technical Producer: Philip Bull Editors  Alice Muthengi and Andre Lombard
