Is peace ever possible in DR Congo?

No respite in DR Congo following a largely unobserved US brokered truce. The truce ends today, so what next?

A largely unobserved truce in DR Congo, results in heightened tensions between Rwanda and the DRC. There's a presidential election just round the corner, with President FΓ©lix Tshisekedi seeking a second, and final, five-year term in office. So, is peace ever possible in the DRC?

Also, South African musician Tyla sparks a debate on social media, after describing herself as "coloured". She was talking about her mixed heritage on TikTok. We'll hear a fascinating conversation about the complexities of coloured identity within the South African context.

And we meet Rebeca Omordia the Romanian/Nigerian pianist, championing the work of African classical music composers!
