Focus on Africa: Kenya's starvation cult: New bodies found

There are fears that the mass starvation cult in Kenya is still active after the discovery of new bodies in fresh graves near the site of the Shakahola forest massacre. So far, eleven people have been arrested in connection with these new exhumations. We hear from a Rapid Response Officer, working with a human rights organisation, who has been helping people track down missing relatives. Why are African students ending up on the battlefields of Ukraine after applying to study in Russia? And France returns the remains of a Malagasy king who was beheaded during the colonial era.
