Liberian ex-commander convicted of war crimes - a podcast by BBC World Service

Liberian warlord Alieu Kosiah is handed twenty years in jail for crimes committed during the civil wars in the country; As Ethiopia approaches election day, we report from the town of Ataye, a hotspot of inter-ethnic violence. Also, we look at the homecoming of former Ivorian president Laurent Gbagbo, and the Resident Presidents' satirical take on the promises made at the G7 summit.
