In our series of letters from African bbc farai, film-maker and columnist Farai Sevenzo looks at what could be in store for the continent in the next 12 months.

In our series of viewpoints from African journalists, film-maker and columnist Farai Sevenzo considers how international justice is affecting the continent. Africans are in a new age of revolutions, it seems. From our Arab neighbours in the north to the usual rebellious suspects in eastern Democratic Republic Congo, to the culture haters in northern Mali to the striking miners in the south - change is all around us. The growth of good news and an explosion of books by ubiquitous Africa experts also speak of a new age of confidence taking advantage of the fastest-growing economies on the planet, huge discoveries of energy and mineral resources and more billionaires and millionaires than at any other African age. But the more things change the more they seem to stay exactly where they once were. I have lost count of the number of times I've read of a rebellion in DR Congo, or how, when I first started pretending to be a journalist , I would be irked and annoyed by the same experts describing the armed battles surrounding Laurent Kabila's newly named Democratic Republic of Congo as "Africa's first world war".

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called the wave of suspected poisonings of schoolgirls in recent months an "unforgivable crime". More than 1, girls at dozens of schools have been affected by unexplained illnesses since November. Incidents were reported in at least 15 cities and towns on Sunday alone. Authorities have released very little information about their investigations and announced no arrests, but they have accused Iran's "enemies" of using the suspected poisonings to undermine the clerical establishment. Some Iranians believe the girls' schools are being targeted by hard-line elements to stop them receiving an education. Others suggest the authorities may be punishing girls for their leading role in the nationwide anti-government protests that erupted in September. This article contains content provided by Twitter.

In September , the World Service announced the proposed closure of its Persian and Arabic radio service as part of a cost-cutting plan, but an online service will remain. The British government used the BBC's Persian service for advancing its propaganda against democratically elected Prime minister of Iran Mohammad Mosaddegh and anti-Mosaddegh material were repeatedly aired on the radio channel [3] to the extent that Iranian staff at the BBC Persian radio went on strike to protest the move.
