A new report from the United Nations says the continent would be debt free if money hadn’t left illegally.

But what can be done to stop these practices? Presenter: Hashem Ahelbarra Guests: Junior Davis – lead author of the report, from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. Sanusha Naidu – senior research fellow at the Institute for Global Dialogue. Edwin Ikhuoria – Africa Executive Director at ONE. –
