Tiemo and Aljaz complete their brief stint in Asia and return to Africa to analyze an incredibly divisive issue of forced evictions in big urban centers to make room for upper/middle class infrastructure. The interesting aspect of these evictions is that they are justified as to be "in the public interest."As government often use the public interest justification to do things that are under normal circumstances considered illegal, Aljaz and Tiemo ponder what public interest actually means and utilizing a very interesting article written by Paul D. Ocheje discuss whether such justifications are reasonable.The conversation, as always, moves to a more general discussion where Tiemo and Aljaz express their views on this topic and present interesting facts and anecdotes of why we should care.This episode is recorded during times of quarantine due to COVID-19 which also raises interesting implications to the meaning of public interest.As always, thank you for listening and both Aljaz and Tiemo are looking forward to discussions on this topic.
