Show Notes
Hello and welcome to this week's episode of our current series, Around the World, where we take some of the most intriguing cases from all over the world to delve into, discuss and attempt to make sense of.
In this weeks episode about Africa, Carrie and Loz cover a country each.
Caz talks about the Idi Amin years in Uganda and of his dictatorship and ruthless ruling for 8 long years in the 1970's where people would mysteriously disappear or be taken for torture and execution. By the time his regime was overthrown in 1979 upwards of 300,000 had been killed and many thousands thrown out.
Loz has chosen to talk us through the genocide that took place in Rwanda back in the 1990's where around 500,000 people of the Tutsi ethnic group were murdered in the streets in the space of just 100 days. Where the media mogul, Félicien Kabuga enticed civil war and via his radio station and thousands of machetes, encouraged people to turn on their neighbours and former friends and turn Rwanda into nothing short of a blood-bath.
