Africa in the news

I deactivated my Facebook account two months ago because of a certain hypersensitivity and social media activism that I don’t fully understand, but appears healthy to opt out of. Another way of putting it, Facebook became the internet and knowledge equivalent of this exercise.

Now, I call people if I want to connect. I email my friends when I want to see pictures of their babies. And I read the New York Times to feel hypersensitive.

There are multiple presidential elections going on in Africa. How does this story make the front page of the New York Times?

Below are pictures from one of many voodoo ceremonies I sat in on. They are way more pleasant than going to mass and achieve the same objectives: a special time to pray for the health of your family and loved ones and to make gestures to keep the God(s) happy. I never heard an outlandish claim about tax cuts.
