Kenyan protests: Impact on mental health

An activist's fight beyond Kenya鈥檚 violent street protests. Why was a French sportswriter jailed in Algeria? And a quarter of Africa鈥檚 freshwater fish species facing extinction

Gen Z鈥檚 have largely led opposition street protests in Kenya. However, it's taking a toll on their mental health. We talk to an activist and a psychiatrist on how to cope.

Why was a French sports journalist recently sentenced to 7 years in jail in Algeria? Was it for talking to a banned separatist movement- or due to diplomatic rows between Algeria and France?

Plus, a report says more than a quarter of Africa's freshwater fish species are threatened with extinction.
