Did you know that Africa's largest statue is made by North Koreans? Or that diplomats from the closed country have been caught repeatedly smuggling ivory out of Africa? That this is all part of the regime's advanced Africa strategy? On this podcast, Planet Mundus explores North Korea's African relations with the help of a man whose life got turned upside-down by said same diplomatic game. Aliou Niane was just a normal student in Guinea when he was forced to spend five years of his youth in North Korea.
