Now the wheels of justice are being turned in a lands mark trial in africa. The United States was isolated. We were the only county in the hemisphere that didnt have normal trade relations with cuba. It was an embarrassment. And every year the u. N.

Set to fly over the Cuban Embassy and washington d. C. That will be the first time that has happened in more than half a century. Melissa chan is live in havana. What do the cuban people think of all of this . Well, its interesting because if you think about the announcement at the ends of last year, in december 2014, with raul castro and president obama, saying that they would like to normalize relations, people here there was a sense of exhilaration, they were saying that tears were streaming down some peoples eyes. More than six months later i think its more cautious optimism not to say people dont for normalization, theres an interesting and rare poll that came out, saying that 97 of cubans support normalization, theres a lot of sport, but cautious optimism, and a sense that if there is going to be change they will not feel it overnight or the next few months but in increment of years.

Theyll get the flag flying. But not on monday. As far as the people were concerned. What affect are we likely to see as a result of ties between the two countries. I think the obvious impact that everyone has been reporting is tourism. We are going to see more americans, its a big super power in the backyard. Therell be an economic impact. The cautious optimism. I think theres a sense in cuba that people are understanding that if there is going to be economic change, they are not going to see it for years to come, and the basic things, i am sure you read that a lot of people like to come to cuba before starbucks and mcdonalds arrived. That is an investment that the cuban government will have to figure out. Theres an embargo on the u. S. Side. A lot of changes will happen therell be embassies, u. S. And cuba, are nowhere near being friends. Melissa chan live for us in havana cuba. Thank you very much his regime is accused of killing 40,000 people between 1982 and 990. 1990. Now the trial of a former president in chad is set to begin. What makes the trial different is he is going to be tried on the african continent. We have more. Reporter this man has been waiting 25 years for this day. He is about to face a man he believes is responsible for his torture. He has rehearsed the moment time and time again. He knows what he will say, and how he will act. One look at former chadian president , and the memories come flooding back. The electric shocks, the spoking. And all the faces of people he was forced to bury during confinement. Hes plunged an entire nation for eightlong years into desperation and violent darkness. Reporter chads Truth Commission says 40,000 were killed, 200,000 tortured when he was in power in the 1980s. Most were arabs and political opponents. The United States and france supported him as he turned the country. Many of his feared torturers got training in the United States. He was overthrown in 1990, and fled the country. For 16 years, victims of torture and campaigners tried to bring him to court. He lived quietly in senegal. His wife never suspected that he would face justice. We had an implicit agreement. We came here to get asylum protection from the state of senegal. Those that supported us turned against us. We felt betrayed. Hes now being charged for crimes against humanity in the extraordinary african chambers, a Court Created by the African Union in senegal. Hundreds of witnesses are set to testify. An african judged by africans away from the Hague International criminal court. At stake is the possibility to set a precedence making universal justice accessible to all on this continent what this trial shows more than anything else is that its possible for victims and supporters with tenacity with perseverance, with imagination, to actually get a dictator to court. The trial will not erase the horrors. But something has changed. And perhaps in the process, this man may find some peace. President obama sitting with a new president of nigeria tomorrow. The fight against boko haram topping the agenda. It could leave the white house with a difficult decision to make. The week ahead is next. Plus, a terrible
