Sudan's military rulers push for Sharia law

In Sudan, the transition of power from the current military rulers to a civilian government has hit a snag. The army wants to make sure that Islamic law is the basis for legislation in the new government wanted by the Sudanese people, who ousted former president Omar al-Bashir in April.

Twenty five years after the end of apartheid and the first free and fair elections, millions of South Africans head to the polls to elect fresh members of the National Assembly. Focus on Africa is on the ground reporting from the queues outside the polling stations, as well as talking to those people who decided not to vote. Six million young people did not register to vote. What future for Africa's biggest democracy?
