Baaba Maal: ‘Good agriculture is a response to climate change’

Senegalese music icon Baaba Maal talks to Focus on Africa about his philosophy on life, and the work his Nann-K sustainable development foundation is doing in response to desertification in the Sahel region caused by climate change.

Plus, Nigeria’s president Muhammadu Buhari announces a 60-day extension for people to exchange old Naira banknotes for new currency, following unrest due to a shortage of new notes.

And a three-day amnesty for people to turn illegal guns in to the authorities has ended in Kenya’s Rift Valley region, which has seen a rise in banditry.
