Under pressure, Niger criminalized slavery in 2003, but about 43,000 people are still thought to be held as slaves. In March 2005, a public ceremony freeing 7,000 slaves was planned, but at the last minute the government reversed itself, denying that slavery existed in the country.
Niger found itself a pawn in the war against Iraq when both the U.S. and Britain claimed that Iraq sought to buy uranium from Niger, citing this as evidence that Saddam Hussein was reconstituting his countrys nuclear weapons program. While the U.S. evidence for the Iraq-Niger uranium connection was exposed as a forgery, Britains Butler report, released in July 2004, concluded the claim was “credible,” based on separate evidence. But the final report of the Iraqi Survey Group in Sept. 2004—the U.S. report assessing evidence of Iraqs weapons of mass destruction—concluded that the “ISG has not found evidence to show that Iraq sought uranium from abroad after 1991.”

A Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman told The Detroit News earlier this week that officials had reviewed Kilpatrick’s case and refused to release him to home confinement.
“On Tuesday, May 26, 2020, the Federal Bureau of Prisons reviewed and denied inmate Kwame Kilpatrick for home confinement,” the Bureau of Prisons office of public affairs wrote in an email to The Detroit News.

With the authorities barring international observers at the last minute by invoking Covid-19 and a run-up to the polls marred by intensified violence and opposition repression, a serious question mark hangs over the credibility of Burundi's Wednesday elections.
The elections saw Évariste Ndayishimiye standing for the ruling Conseil national pour la défense de la démocratie - Forces pour la défense de la démocratie (CNDD-FDD) and Agathon Rwasa for the main opposition party Congrès national pour la liberté (CNL).
The East African Community was set to deploy a team to Burundi to monitor the presidential, legislative and municipal elections that would in particular determine a successor to the 15-year incumbent, Pierre Nkurunziza, and replace the National Assembly.
Some polling stations opened late in various localities, and authorities expelled or arrested several accredited opposition election observers.
Rwasa has declared he will not allow the ruling party to \"steal his election\" and Nkurunziza that he will not tolerate a call for violence.

The 57-year-old hospital worked died on Saturday and had underlying diabetes and high blood pressure before he was infected, an official from the anti-coronavirus task team said.
He was a car park attendant at a hospital in the eastern city of Toamasina.
Several African countries have ordered or expressed interest in the purported remedy, which is known as Covid-Organics.
But the World Health Organization has warned against \"adopting a product that has not been taken through tests to see its efficacy\".
Africa has escaped the \"exponential\" rise in coronavirus cases seen elsewhere probably due to low population density and a hot and humid climate, the UN health agency said.
