Escaping Eritrea and inventing Zumba
Manage episode 360162468 series 1301470
Max Pearson presents a collection of this week's Witness History episodes from the BBC World Service.
We hear about the lengths one woman goes to to escape Eritrea, how Zumba was invented by accident and how a giant peace statue on a Japanese island, crumbled into a ghostly ruin.
Plus the arguments then, and the arguments still over the Good Friday Peace Agreement for Northern Ireland, and a picnic for peace that breached the Iron Curtain.
This programme contains descriptions of sexual violence.
