Young Nigerians will determine their next president
Youth supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari cheer as they return from a rally of the ruling All Progressives Congress party, near the offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Kano, northern Nigeria, Feb. 14, 2019.
Nigeria, the largest country in Africa, holds elections on Feb. 25. Most voters are under the age of 30, and see this moment as a chance to throw out the old guard that has ruled for decades. And, since early 2023, police in Haiti have been targeted by gangs. Angry officers have been protesting the killings of their comrades, but also demanding basic guarantees to do their job. Also, we hear from Ukrainian college students of diverse backgrounds about how their priorities and expectations have changed over the last year. Plus, an extensive David Bowie archive will go on display in London, in 2025.
