Africa’s debating shop. Whether on location or in London, Talkabout Africa tackles issues that affect the continent. Guests may be politicians, expert analysts or simply men and women whose lives are affected by the decisions of the power brokers. This week:  Latest Edition: Wednesday 5th November Africa Live asks Can every conflict be solved by peace talks? Despite long running discussions to bring about peace in countries such as Sudan, Somalia, Liberia, and Ivory Coast, the threat of conflict is never far away. Even in the case of neighbours Ethiopia and Eritrea, complete peace still seems some way off. Are people happy to talk but make war at the same time? Is there a better way to stop wars in Africa? Join presenter Vera Kwakofi talking about talks.
