This week our reporters meet those caught in the middle of a military conflict in southern DR Congo, as the Mai Mai militia take on the M23 rebels. Next, we hear from an Ivorian man who claims he was illegally tortured and detained by the army. Finally, we get a sneak peek at the latest dance production by South African choreographer Desiree Davids.
The M23 rebels in the DR Congo say they won't stop until they've taken the capital. We go to the first town seized by them this week, the strategic city of Goma. Next, the international community has yet to make any firm commitment to military intervention in Mali. In the meantime, a group of young fighters are training to take back the north from Islamists. Finally, a Kenyan movie called "Nairobi Half Life" is hoping to go all the way to the Oscars.

Supporters of DR Congo president Felix Tshisekedi celebrate his re-election in front of his party's headquarters in Kinshasa after provisional results declared by the country's electoral commission showed that Tshisekedi had won 73 percent of the vote. Tshisekedi, 60, first came to power in January 2019 after a disputed election that many observers said he had in fact lost, and the opposition have dismissed the latest vote in the central African country as a "sham".
