MONROVIA: Healthcare workers in Liberia, the country hit hardest by the Ebola epidemic, will go on strike from Monday (Oct 13) to demand hazard pay for treating patients infected with the deadly disease, their union leader said.

Mob kills man for 'stealing genitals' in Burkina Faso(viewers discretion)

"A man, circled in red, was killed by a mob who accused him of having "stolen" another man's penis. All photos were taken by Cyrille Zoma, a reporter for Observateur Paalga in Burkina Faso."

This man was killed by a mob Monday in Koudougou, a town in central Burkina Faso, after being accused of making another man’s penis “disappear”. It was not an isolated incident: there has been an increase in the number of these strange accusations being made in recent weeks. This lynching took place in the 10th district of Koudougou, in the city’s west. It all started with a fight at a restaurant between two men: one accused the other of having cast a spell on him simply by touching him. The first man, a local mechanic, claimed that his penis had been "stolen” by the second man, who was not from the district. The first man called the police. But by then, a crowd had gathered around them. Incensed, the residents decided to lynch the man in the middle of the street.

Norway to Re-stage Historical ‘Human Zoo’ that Exhibits Africans Like Animals

Belgium Human Zoo
Norway will be celebrating the 200th anniversary of its constitution next month. To commemorate the event, the country’s government is opening a “human zoo” to re-enact an  exhibition that took place in the colonial era during the 1914 Norway World Fair, where Africans were exhibited as though they were animals.
Organizers of the “human zoo” re-enactment say they have chosen to embark on the project to enable important discussions about the legacy of colonialism and racism.

The 1914 “human zoo,”which was open for 5 months, contained 80 Senegalese people. Norwegians at the
