Coming up in this episode.
After a month-long trial that gripped the nation, eleven people are convicted in Liberia’s largest human trafficking case. Traffickers are sentenced to 50 years. As lawmakers battle over the fate of Liberia’s war crimes court, the tribunal has won some surprising backers: warlords. Experts warn that Liberia’s new health agreement with the United States could reduce funding, weaken oversight and restrict reproductive health- care.
And we meet the women driving Liberia’s electric kehkehs—breaking gender barriers while helping to reduce harmful air pollution.
