Africom Declaration and "Made in Congo" Sabrina Moella

In this edition of African Perspectives (May 26, 2013), we first speak with Aziz Fall, an organizer with the Group for Research and Initiative for the Liberation of Africa (GRILA) in Montreal.  He speaks about an international declaration that was released by an international coalition of organization and individuals condemning AFRICOM.  We then speak with Sabrina Moella regarding her new one-woman play called "Made in Congo".  We start, as always, with news briefs and headlines from the continent.
