Please join us at CSIS for an expert panel discussion examining the
applications of blockchain technology in developing economies. We will
explore challenges and opportunities for blockchain technology to
deliver development impact.

Blockchain technology-- a free,
secure, distributed online ledger-- has the potential to be one of the
most important development innovations of the 21st Century. While the
full scope of its application is still being determined, developing
countries are already using blockchain technology to help citizens send
and receive remittances, improve land title registration, and extend
credit

The Untold Story of Andela

March is supposed to be the month that British Prime Minister Theresa
May triggers Article 50, beginning the official withdrawal process of
the UK from the EU. Brussels says the UK will have to reach a financial
settlement first before any substantive negotiations on a future
relationship or trade deals can begin. Officials expect that sum to be
around 60 billion euros - payment, they say, for commitments the UK has
already made.

Theresa May has insisted multiple times that the UK
will be looking for a "hard" Brexit and opting out of the single market.
But is that what the British people voted for?

And where does that leave EU citizens in the UK and vice versa?
Once the UK triggers Article 50, two years of talks with the EU will begin - but at the end of that, what will happen?
We ask our panel of MEPs.

Versailles at a mini-summit hosted by France's president. Do the

integration into overdrive with much closer ties on defense, trade and a
common view on borders? When the dust settles, what will the EU look
like?

But travel restrictions aren't just affecting those countries. Nigerian
authorities are advising citizens to stay away from the United States.
In recent weeks, several Nigerians have been denied entry to America. A
special advisor to the Nigerian president says no reasons have been
provided for denying Nigerian citizens entry into the U.S. The travel
advisory came ahead of Trump's new executive order. His first travel ban
was blocked by the court. But Trump insists it WILL be implemented. The
restrictions apply to seven Muslim-majority countries, three of them in
Africa; Libya, Sudan, and Somalia.

Ten years ago, in November 2006, Al Jazeera English was launched. To mark that anniversary, we've created REWIND, which updates some of the channel's most memorable and award-winning documentaries of the past decade. We find out what happened to some of the characters in those films and ask how the stories have developed in the years since our cameras left.

Albinism is a non-contagious, genetically inherited disorder, affecting about one in 20,000 men and women around the world. Sufferers are afflicted by a congenital absence of melanin, a pigmentation defect in the hair, skin and eyes that causes vulnerability to sun exposure and bright light. Many have very poor vision as a consequence and in tropical countries especially they can be vulnerable to skin cancers if unprotected from the sun.

What albinism is absolutely not is an indication that the afflicted person is in any way invested with magical powers. But in parts of sub-Saharan Africa especially, people with albinism have traditionally faced discrimination and prejudice - innocent victims of a still widespread belief that the condition is in some way associated with the supernatural. In Tanzania, the situation spiralled out of control with people with the condition increasingly subjected to murder and mutilation because of a completely spurious myth that their body parts are effective in witchcraft rituals.

In this remarkable episode of Africa Investigates, Tanzanian journalist Richard Mgamba, community representative Isaack Timothy and Ghanaian investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas set out to discover what lies behind these attacks and to uncover and confront some of those behind the trade in body parts for witchcraft rituals. 

REWIND returns to Tanzania to find out what happened to Adam, a young boy featured in the original film who had been mutilated for witchcraft.
