How has Goma changed under M23 fighters?

How has the city of Goma in DRC changed under the fighter鈥檚 control? What鈥檚 behind pension woes in Nigeria; And why cases of diabetes could be misdiagnosed.

The city of Goma in the conflict-hit east of the Democratic Republic of Congo was seized by the M23 armed group earlier this year after intense fighting with government forces. How has the city changed after six months under the group鈥檚 control?

After retired police officers in Nigeria held demonstrations earlier this week calling for better pensions, we look at wider pension provision and ask if young Nigerians see pension planning as a secure path to protecting their retirement?

And could there be a new type of diabetes that accounts for the rising number of cases among young people in Africa.
