France Tries Middle East Peace Plan

The French try to advance Middle East peace, our Nigerian colleagues discuss Biafran separatism, and a jailed ex-president's daughter vies to take his place in Peru.

Nigeria vows to disarm supporters of Biafran independence -- why is a concept that cost a million lives in a civil war nearly half a century ago making a comeback?

And the death of Harambe the gorilla raises questions about zoos and human interaction with endangered animals.
