African Union holds first post-Gaddafi summit: African Union leaders are meeting for their first summit since the death of Muammar Gaddafi, the bloc's founder, with the selection of top officials and discussion of crises on the continent dominating the agenda. The leaders gathered in Ethiopia will choose the next head of the AU Commission, the 54-nation bloc's executive council. South Africa's Home Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma's move to challenge the incumbent Jean Ping has made the race tighter. South Africa said on Saturday it was optimistic Dlamini-Zuma, former wife of President Jacob Zuma, can unseat Gabon's Ping. Read more...

| Senegal opposition vows to resist Wade bid: Senegal's opposition has called for more resistance to the court approval of President Abdoulaye Wade's bid to seek a highly disputed third term, after a night of riots in the capital, Dakar.
Opposition leaders vowed on Saturday to force the president out of office, threatening to march on the palace in a city reeling from violent riots that left at least one policeman dead, according to local media. "We are asking the people to remain alert and to resist Abdoulaye Wade," Abdoul Aziz Diop, the spokesman for opposition activist movement M23, told the Reuters news agency. Read more... |

| Swedish Social Democrats in the dump: Just when Sweden's opposition Social Democrats thought things could not get worse, they have. Indeed, Europe's most successful political party is in the throes of the worst crisis in its history. Hakan Juholt has quit as leader after only ten months, following a seemingly endless stream of blunders that led many party districts to call for him to go. The opinion polls are sending shivers through the party, with support hovering around 25%, its lowest ever. This is not entirely Mr Juholt's fault. The Social Democrats lost the elections in 2006 and 2010 because they failed to appeal to middle-class voters. Read more... |

| Nigeria - the intersection of globalisation and jihadism: A year ago arrivals on the outskirts to Kano had to pass a sign forbidding alcohol consumption and banning women from riding on motorbikes. Now it is gone.
Kano may be the sixth-biggest Muslim city in the world — after Karachi, Jakarta, Dhaka, Cairo and Istanbul — but it is far from the most conservative. Women lift their hemlines to get on the back of achabas, motorbikes that are the main source of transport. Mini vans carry both sexes to their destination. It is possible to get a cold beer to wash away sand inhaled during a day on the edge of the Sahara. Read the rest... |

| Canada deports Rwandan genocide suspect Leon Mugesera: Two Canadian courts rejected an appeal for a stay of deportation from Leon Mugesera, accused of delivering a speech that helped incite the 1994 Rwandan genocide, in which radical ethnic Hutus killed as many as 800,000 Tutsis. He was to have been deported two weeks ago, but last-minute appeals to the two courts and the UN Committee Against Torture earned him a reprieve until Monday.
Mugesera was taken into custody while his request for a six-month stay of deportation was considered. Mugesera wanted the extra time for United Nations officials to carry out their probe. He has waged a 15-year old war to avoid being sent back. Read all... |
