53 migrants die in latest shipwreck tragedy off Libya coast
According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the boat overturned in the cold waters of the central Mediterranean Sea, north of the coastal town of Zuwara last Friday.
It is just the latest deadly incident involving vulnerable people on the move who are frequently mistreated and trafficked by smuggling gangs that have flourished in #Libya since the overthrow of President #Gaddafi in 2011.

I’m really enjoying Noura Mint Seymali’s new record, “Yenbett.”
She’s from Mauritania, which is nestled between Senegal and Algeria. Her music def reflects that.
Aside from being an multi-instrumentalist, she’s also a storyteller. Her music is called Griot music, named after the West African storytelling culture.

#Burundi: one year on, cholera still persists in six health districts
The lack of drinking water and poor hygiene conditions are the main factors preventing the total eradication of this epidemic in the country.
