Through WhatsApp voice notes, videos, and texts, this documentary reveals their abusive ordeals, and exposes the tactics of agents that traffic and then abandon them. The investigation also examines the poverty and desperation that leads young people to seek opportunities in the Middle East, and the weak justice system that often allows their employers to abuse them with impunity.
Intimate testimonies reveal widespread accounts of sexual and physical abuse, or worse, of African workers - and the film follows the work of an extraordinary network of women working across three continents fighting to bring them home, often against impossible odds.

- Ongoing attacks on cargo ships in the Red Sea are delaying the arrival of goods to the Kenyan port of Mombasa – and pushing up prices of consumables, like dates, which are customarily used to break fast in the Holy Month of Ramadan. It could be that for many Muslims in the region the sweet fruits are just out of financial reach for the festivities.
The BBC’s Peter Mwangangi has been to Kenya’s port city of Mombasa to find out more about the impact of the Red Sea attacks, two months on.

He was earlier charged with committing acts of terror, child cruelty and torture, charges he denied. He is already serving a 1-year sentence for producing and distributing films – that’s videos of his controversial sermons - without license.

Speaking about his debut film, Tribal Mark, Skepta tells the BBC he is set on making an anti-hero character for black actors.
Known as one of the pioneers of British grime music, it is the first time the 41-year-old artist, real name Joseph Olaitan Adenuga Jr, has ventured into film directing, producing and acting.
His new short film follows the journey of a Nigerian immigrant, Mark, who moves to London as a child and adapts to a new culture and way of life. As a teenager he struggles to to fit in and ends up in prison for possession of a firearm.
Fast forward to the present day, and a sharply suited Mark, played by Skepta, is eating Nigerian dinner staples of pounded yam and Egusi soup.

Somalia considers it an integral part of its territory and so does the African Union, although Somaliland declared its independence in 1991. All that could now change, as Ethiopia, its powerful – and landlocked – neighbour has struck a deal with Somaliland which would grant it access to a port in the Red Sea. One of the terms of this agreement could also see Somaliland recognised by the Ethiopians as a sovereign state.
The deal has caused a huge stir in Somalia, and even led to protests in the country, as well as a growing war of words between the two nations.

From dancing in the streets of Lagos, Anthony went viral on social media and was even seen by Woman King star Viola Davis.
From his fame, the "viral boy" earned a dance scholarship in the US.
Now, Anthony Madu has left his family in Lagos and is at a ballet school in Birmingham, UK.
BBC Africa visited Anthony to see how he's settling in a new country and how his life has changed since we first met him in 2020.
His idol Calvin Royal III even had a message for Anthony.

- Description
- Coastal villages in Ghana are under threat of rising sea levels, one of the visible impacts of climate change. As fishing communities are forced to move from one village to another, fisherwomen find themselves in an increasingly vulnerable position. Many have been made to move out of Fuveme, in eastern Ghana, as their homes were flooded and the village in its entirety sank a few years ago. Now they find themselves facing a similar threat in their new location – as the waters are expected to rise again.

- Description
- Homosexuality should not be a criminal offence and people should be helped to understand the issue better, a top cardinal from Ghana has told the BBC.
Cardinal Peter Turkson's comments come as parliament discusses a bill imposing harsh penalties on LGBT people.
His views are at odds with Roman Catholic bishops in Ghana, who say homosexuality is "despicable".
In October, Pope Francis suggested he would be open to having the Catholic Church bless same-sex couples.
Cardinal Turkson became the first-ever Ghanaian cardinal in 2003 when he was appointed by Pope John Paul II. He is now chancellor of the Pontifical Academies of Sciences.
