Syria and Ethiopia
Lyse Doucet meets two men who've had very different dealings with Syrian detainees. In Addis Ababa, Martin Fletcher finds out what's being done about Ethiopia's urban hyenas.
An estimated 200,000 men and women are being held in detention centres in war-torn Syria. Lyse Doucet meets two men with very different experiences of this system - one is a lawyer representing the detained, the other is an interrogator in a government-controlled prison. Are their hopes for Syria really so different?
London has its urban foxes, Delhi has monkeys, but the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa has a far more pernicious pest - the urban hyena. Martin Fletcher finds out about the threat they pose to the city's residents, and what can be done to contain them.
