Graphic photos: Soldier pictured stabbing man to death in front of a crowd

A group of soldiers in the Central African Republic lynched a man they suspected was a rebel minutes after hearing the new president's promise to restore security at a ceremony to reinstate the divided country's armed forces.

About 20 uniformed soldiers accused a member of the crowd of having belonged to Seleka - the mostly Muslim rebel group that seized power in a coup last March, before stabbing him repeatedly until he was dead.

A soldier stamped on the lifeless body, which was then dragged nearly naked through the streets as residents looked on and took photographs. Continue...



Ten minutes earlier the new interim president, Catherine Samba-Panza, stood just 20m away where she addressed a crowd of at least 1,000 soldiers.

The Army effectively disappeared during nine months of Seleka rule.She told the gathering at a training ground in the capital Bangui: 'Within a month, I would like to fully secure the greater part of the country and I aim to stick to my word.'

Seleka disbanded after Samba-Panza's inauguration last month and is deeply resented by the Christian majority after months of lootings and killings.

Peter Bouckaert, emergencies director at Human Rights Watch in Bangui, tweeted that the corpse of the lynched man had been burned. 

He posted a photograph showing a man holding up a severed limb next to a bonfire, as an armed French soldier gestured in the background.

SanusiSuspension Will Affect Economy Negatively – Atiku, It’s A Dark Cloud – Ezekwesili, SSS After Sanusi – El-Rufai

Nigeria’s former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has taken time to condemn the President’s move to suspend the Central Bank Governor until the yesterday’s controversial suspension, Sanusi Lamid Sanusi. Taking to his Twitter page to air his views, the Turakin Adamawa stated that, “Instead of playing politics with the institution of the CBN, our FG should be building an economy that creates more jobs for Nigerians. Our nation at the moment needs economic stability and investor confidence – the FG’s actions will affect the economy negatively. If this CBN Governor’s suspension is not contested in court, it could set a dangerous precedent for the future – economically & politically.  The Constitution is sacrosanct. It cannot be toyed with at the convenience of the government. FG must respect constitutional process.” Concluded the APC chieftain.

CONFESSION OF A ‘s*x ADDICT’: I Love s*x So Much, I Prefer It To Food

Image
A reporter got more than he bargained for at the Elegushi beach in the Victoria Island area of Lagos as he engaged a lady in a discussion. To his disbelief the 26 years old lady, identified as Ella, boldly told the reporter that she loves s*x so much so that she enjoys it more than real food. “See, I don’t need money from any guy. All I want is good, hot s*x! But the problem I have with most of you guys is that you are not bold enough to ask a girl you just met for s*x even though you all want it. Most girls want it too, they want you to just make the move to shag them. Even if they are complaining or insulting you don’t stop. You know we girls pretend a lot.” The lady, whose ID revealed she is a marketer with a new generation bank, revealed that she likes going to the beach which is very close her apartment, every evening to have a good rest and ‘most importantly get laid’. As if that was not enough, Ella threw the bombshell “I have s*x with my boss every...
