Fighting in the Streets
Correspondents' accounts of near-anarchy in Aden, Yemen; the victims of xenophobia in South Africa; layers of history and persecution in southeastern Turkey; and Moscow revisited
Pascale Harter introduces correspondents' insights and experiences around the world. This week, there's a regrettable theme of strife in the streets as:
ORLA GUERIN endures 21 hours in a cockroach-ridden boat, to get into the Yemeni city of Aden and see what damage its civil war is doing there;
AUDREY BROWN meets the migrant workers who've been made violently unwelcome by mobs in South Africa, and now feel they have to leave;
PAUL HOWARD visits the site of the ruined Armenian kingdom of Ani in southeastern Turkey, and traces the complexity of relationships between Turks, Kurds and Armenians;
and KEVIN CONNOLLY is back in Moscow - no longer in the USSR, where he was correspondent 25 years ago, but now in a Russia preparing to commemorate its resistance to Nazi Germany during WWII.
