This fifth compilation is a round-up of the events of 1993, as observed in radio despatches from around the world by BBC correspondents. It ranges from powerful eye-witness accounts of the events that made the news, to some moving and very personal human interest stories, and at times, in the midst of even the most desperate situations, unexpectedly comic moments. The stories behind the South African elections, the genocide in Rwanda, the Arab-Israeli Peace Accords and the Zapatista uprising in Mexico are all featured.
