Somalia has been ravaged by 20 years of civil war. Widely publicised atrocities prompted the US government to step in to restore order, it was a disaster. If the most powerful country of all had failed, who could possibly bring peace to Mogadishu?

In Marsabit County, Northern Kenya, Caritas Switzerland has, together with communities, constructed three rock catchment systems. In this region, there are no permanent rivers and the dry seasons can get severe. Moreover, not all groundwater sources are suitable for human consumption and people often rely on scarce and mostly unprotected water sources. Only about 35% of the population have access to safe water.
The rock catchments collect rainwater from large bare rock surfaces before it gets channelled to storage tanks. The three systems serve 3,500 people and can store a total of 2.34 million litres of water per rainy season. This covers for approximately three months of human water consumption.

To Europeans, the veiled men looking down proudly from the backs of their camels have always embodied the noble knights of the desert. Up until now we have heard little about the mothers, the wives, and sisters of the Tuareg nomads in the forgotten edges of the Sahara. The film documents the independence and vitality of these sisters of the dunes.

The Maasai are a tribe living along the Rift Valley near the Kenya-Tanzania border. Their concept of wealth is based on the amount of cattle, women and children a man possess. Women own nothing and have to attach themselves to a man for survival.

The documentary series “Disappearing World” was originally broadcasted between 1970-1975.
As an anthropological landmark of its time, the series tells the story of traditional communities endangered by the modern world’s progressions.
The series stands as a historical document of daily life in remote and threatened societies, such as the Cuiva, Embera and Panare Indians of Colombia, the nomadic Tuareg of the Sahara, the Kurdish Dervishes, and the Meo of China.

BBC Africa Eye goes undercover to expose an ineffective and corrupt pension system in Nigeria, which leaves some elderly people sick and penniless, yet grants some politicians inflated retirement packages.

Reporter Yemisi Adegoke travels to Cross River State to meet ‘Ghost Pensioners’ – elderly people whom the state declared dead and deprived of their pensions. Some of whom are forced to rely on financial support from their relatives and are subjected to dehumanising treatment from the state officials for petitioning for their pensions to be reinstated.

UPDATE: A few days after this investigation went out, pensioner Efika Cletus Lafin sadly died, according to residents in his village.

His pension payments had not been resumed. Read more: bbc.in/3nV4KHV
