Polls Open in Democratic Republic of Congo
DRC election day arrives after a two-year delay.
Voting has begun in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The presidental vote was originally scheduled to take place two years ago. However, violence has marred the run-up to the polls and some areas have been excluded from voting.
Also in the programme: The Ugandan student who “married” herself; and the upheavals of 1968 remembered.
Julian Worricker is joined in the studio by artist Aowen Jin and writer Michael Carlson.
