On air: Sorious Samura on aid and Africa

Sorious Samura is a Sierra Leonian journalist and film-maker who explores Africa’s issues like few others. He’s coming on to WHYS today to discuss his new BBC documentary. It explores why the developed world has spent around 600 billion dollars on aid since 1958, and yet the number of sub-Saharan Africans living in poverty remains the same as in 1981. Here’s a chemist selling UN drugs.
