Vox Africa


A thorough report by Vox Africa, French-language African TV channel, on Monday's rally. In Londres, les sans papiers sortent de l'ombre* David Luemba, a Congolese sans papiers describes his situation; logistics supremo Ruhana Ali is filmed with microphone warming up the sans culottes of Tothill St; lots of shots of what the reporter gushingly describes as cette vaste operation de Strangers into Citizens; in Trafalgar Sq. a curious Frenchman resident in London gets interviewed; and the reporter is impressed by the national anthem.

You have to wait 8.35 mins before our very own Sebastien Chapleau answers a great number of very detailed questions about the campaign and its objectives in a seven-minute interview -- a tour de force. Bravo, Seb!
