Today on The Leaders' Brief - One of Asia's largest economies, Japan is continuing to see a rise in the number of COVID cases. Till last week, the country had recorded over 600,000 cases and 10,000 deaths due to the 2019 coronavirus. To prevent any catastrophic pressure on its health infrastructure, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga's cabinet took the decision to extend the emergency in four prefectures, adding Aichi and Fukuoka to the list. Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Hyogo have been under lockdown measures since April 17th. Depending on the extent of the measures imposed, Japan would see second-quarter GDP growth of 0.5% to 1%.  Last week, Somalia announced its decision to restore ties with Kenya. This comes six months after it had severed relations with Nairobi after the Kenyan government hosted the leadership of Somaliland, a breakaway state that Somalia doesn't recognise. Last December, after Nairobi hosted Muse Bihi Abdi, the president of Somaliland, Mogadishu blocked Kenyan imports of khat, an important part of bilateral trade between the sub-Saharan nations. Somalia also accused Kenya of interfering in the electoral process of Jubbaland.  In another step to the rapidly deteriorating relationship between China and Australia, Beijing, last week, announced that it has indefinitely suspended key economic dialogue with Canberra for what it called Australia's Cold War mindset and ideological discrimination. The announcement comes weeks after Australia decided to scrap two projects involving Beijing's Belt and Road initiative. China had called the move another unreasonable provocation by Australia, and Beijing's foreign ministry probing had said it was probing the possibility of taking further action.

Guests also review the Somalia-Kenya maritime border dispute and Senegalese President Macky Sall’s eyebrow-raising decision to pardon a political rival.

In January 1991, Mohammed Siad Barre’s government was toppled when rebels from the United Somali Congress toppled the Red Berets, in a culmination of a struggle that began in 1986. Since then, Somalia has been in a state of civil war. It has displaced over 1 million people within the country, and over 1 million more are living abroad in the Somali diaspora, either as registered refugees or undocumented migrants. We’re joined by Fadumo Dayib, a social justice activist, Somali politician and the first woman to vie for president of Somalia (in November 2016) to discuss being Somali in Somalia, as well as the diaspora. What was the cause of the civil war, and what factors have allowed it to continue for almost 30 years? What has the effect of having international intervention been? What factors make it possible for Al Shabaab to exist within Somalia and East Africa, and recruit from throughout the region? What has this conflict meant for the rights of Somali women and girls? How has it affected their rights, freedoms and access to opportunities? And, what is the way forward when it comes to resolving this conflict? Press play to find out!
