On today’s World Radio Day Special, we revisit interviews revolving around this year’s theme: “Dialogue, Tolerance and Peace”. Sworn enemies, Nigerian clerics Pastor James Wuye and Imam Muhammad Ashafa led opposing, armed militias, and at one point, plotted each other's deaths. We look back at our 2010 interview with both of them, where they talked of how they came to reconcile and become advocates for peace instead.
