Monocle’s senior foreign correspondent, Carlota Rebelo, spoke with Christopher Fomunyoh, goodwill ambassador for the Grain from Ukraine initiative, to find out more about the programme and the latest shipment of more than 14,000 tonnes of grain, which recently arrived in Sudan.

The ‘Reichsbürger’ movement

Nine people are on trial in Stuttgart in one of three cases linked to an alleged far-right plot to overthrow the state. They face charges including high treason, attempted murder and membership of a terrorist organisation. The nine have been identified as part of the ‘Reichsbürger’ movement, belonging to the military wing of a group led by a self-styled aristocrat. The group, which originated in the 1980s, denies the legitimacy of Germany’s postwar Federal Republic and believes that the country is still under Allied occupation.
