Nigeria celebrates 60 years of Independence

Description

In tonight's edition: Nigeria started the month celebrating six decades of self rule. We take a look back at the watershed moments that led up to and followed the African giant's independence from Britain. Also Cameroon's sand divers risk their lives to plunge into the Sanago river in search of sand for the building industry and we visit one of the open secrets of Algerians hoping to get away from it all. Beni Haoua is a popular camping spot not far from the capital.
