Sudan's State Minister for Foreign Affairs

It's coming up on five years since the comprehensive peace agreement in Sudan ended the bloody civil war between the north and the south.

But some are skeptical that this agreement can keep the peace indefinitely. For more on this issue, Jim Clancy spoke with Sudan's State Minister for Foreign Affairs, Al-Samani Al-Wasilah.

Robben Island prison

For centuries, the Robben Island prison was a place of isolation and fear.

But for some inmates, sport provided a much needed distraction. Nkepile Mabuse went to the island with a former prisoner who tells us how it happened.

Snow leopard

When Kwame Nkruma Achempong wanted to join the Ghanaian Ski Federation, he found out there wasn't one. But with a little determination, he formed the Ghana ski team himself, and is now its only athlete.

CNN's Ayesha Durgahee caught up with him during training.

Uganda Ballet

The Ugandan Contemporary Ballet Company is a little more than two years old and is made up of nine dancers -- seven men and two women.

But the company performs more than just traditional ballet. They also take inspiration from some of their nation's most painful history including that of child soldiers.
