Equatorial Guinea: Trial for the death of over 100 people
Two soldiers are on trial over the death of more than a hundred people in Equatorial Guinea in March. Another six-hundred people were injured in the massive explosion at an army barracks in Bata.
Stocks of explosives were accidentally set off when the men allegedly lit a fire which got out of control. Some of the bodies still have not been able to be identified and compensation for the victims' families remain uncertain.
Lucas Olo Fernandes is a regional expert and is from Equatorial Guinea.
