## Resource

In this edition, Kenya's Rastafarians lose a landmark court battle over the religious use of cannabis. Also, the continent's top cocoa producers join forces to process more of the seeds at home instead of exporting it raw. And on the beaches of Dakar, an environmental activist is turning heads in a colourful outfit made entirely from discarded plastic waste.
