Alex Vines, head of the Africa Program at Chatham House, London, will join us for a discussion on the use of sanctions in Africa.

He will discuss the findings of research by Chatham House, which conducted extensive field work in Somalia, Sierra Leone and Angola including interviewing targeted individuals.
