The nationalist group Polisario Front has decried Spain's 'betrayal' as the European country backs Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara.
Spain is backing Morocco's plan for limited autonomy of Western Sahara. We interview Oubi Bouchraya, the Polisario Front Representative to the European Union, who described Spain's action as a "betrayal".
Also in the programme: a top Nigerian court has struck out eight of the fifteen charges laid against Nnamdi Kanu - the leader of the banned separatist group known as the Indigenous People of Biafra - IPOB, and Malian authorities say they have opened an investigation into an alleged massacre of civilians.
