Ep.267 - Kenyan Femicide, DRC & Frantz Fanon
In a week where:

- Joe Biden takes aim at Trump & lightly criticises Israel in energetic SOTU speech.
- Documents show MoD paid millions into Saudi account amid BAE corruption scandal.
- ‘Dragon Ball’ creator Akira Toriyama dies at 68.

In the first of two Society segments: (8:15) An abnormal amount of women are getting killed in Kenya and the women are beginning to speak up on the issue. (Article By Omolara Oriye)
In Life: (21:40) I've been waiting to find a good piece on what is going on in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and I found a good place to start in the long road to understand the severity of it. (Article By Nteranya Ginga & Tshimundu)
In Journalism: (35:49) There is nothing that infuriates me more than people who should know better willingly distorting. Case in point: people mincing Frantz Fanon's words relating to indigenous resistance. (Article By Hamid Dabashi)
Lastly, in the 2nd Society segment: (50:40) It has been 40 years since the Miner's Strike in the UK and one underrepresented part of the whole thing was how the damn MI5 conspired against the miners. (Article By Mark Hollingsworth)
