ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

A few years ago, the town of Anam in Southern Nigeria was known for all the wrong reasons: high levels of crime and knife and gun violence. A group of local women, known as 'ụmụadas', decided to take matters into their own hands and confronted criminals with... their kitchen spoons. ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Igbo editor Adline Okere, who is an ụmụada herself, has the story. Plus, how Subagunam Kannan's passion for filming ants in his own house led him to make a viral video for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Tamil, and a train journey through Thailand and Laos with Thuong Le from ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Vietnamese.
