A new monthly programme by the BBC World Service called ‘Africa Debate’ on the possibility of a sub-Saharan “African Spring” will be taking over our social media pages including Twitter, Facebook and Google + this Friday.
The inaugural edition of the BBC Africa Debate will be broadcast live on the BBC World Service from Accra, Ghana and presented by Alex Jakana and Sam Farah, who would be asking the panellists and the audience whether Africa is ready for a democratic leap forward, why there has been no “Spring” yet and whether an “African Spring” would be useful or, indeed, necessary.
