The bank is offering the package to governments feeling the economic pinch of coronavirus
The African Export-Import Bank offers a $3 billion package to governments feeling the economic pinch of coronavirus, but is it a drop in the ocean? We speak to the bank’s president.
Also, South Africa prepares to go into a 21-day nationwide lockdown because of the coronavirus. We hear from Johannesburg and from a country already in lockdown - Tunisia.
Plus, Cameroon rebels declare a 14-day ceasefire on the border with Nigeria, to allow people to get tested and treated for coronavirus.
