Africa Weekly is a 10" programme featuring a round-up of news and features in Africa. Ousted despot Moamer Kadhafi was killed on October 20, 2011, in a final assault by new regime forces on his hometown Sirte, ending the last vestiges of his 42-year autocratic rule and sparking joy across Libya. Rageh Omaar examines how the death of a penniless fruit seller in Tunisia first ignited mass revolt in the country, led to the overthrow of its president and effects far beyond its borders. A special programme looking at Egypt under Hosni Mubarak. Four years after the start of the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, Everywoman explores the real issues facing women in Iraq today.

About Nashwa
I am an Arabic-speaking broadcast journalist with experience of working for Al Jazeera, Reuters and Agence France Presse (AFP), where I currently freelance as a news and features producer. I've worked on flagship studio programmes broadcast on Al Jazeera English including The Listening Post and Inside Story, as well as long format current affairs documentaries, including The Rageh Omaar Report and a 48" documentary marking the 20th anniversary of the invasion of Kuwait, which I produced and presented. I have also contributed shorter features for diversity programmes, including Artsworld and Everywoman. As a news producer at AFPTV, I have commissioned breaking news and feature stories from a network of video journalists across the MENA region, Europe and Africa, and I currently series produce a weekly highlights programme for AFPTV called Africa Weekly. I left full time employment four years ago in order to pursue my passion for storytelling – in all its formats – as a freelancer.
