A new report says Africa's civic space remains mostly repressive

A global alliance of civil society organizations released on Wednesday its annual report, titled “People Power Under Attack 2024.” The report says 43 out of 50 countries and territories in sub-Saharan Africa have “restricted” or “shut down” civic spaces. It says civic space has improved over the past year in Botswana and Liberia but gotten worse in Burkina Faso, Eswatini, Ethiopia, and Kenya. Mohammed Yusuf reports.
