Coming to America
The murder of an Iraqi migrant in Texas has the Muslim community on edge.
We hear the story of Ahmed al-Jumaili, an Iraqi migrant who was shot dead in the Texas city of Dallas just three weeks after arriving in the United States. And, we examine a US Supreme Court case that considers whether an American citizen has a right to know why her husband has been barred from entering the country. Plus, a story about the Somali-Americans fighting to save their lifeline for sending cash to loved ones back home.
We visit the Louisiana radio station that prefers to broadcast ‘en Franglais’. And ‘The Voice’ of South Africa - Vusi Mahlasela - celebrates 20 years of freedom.
