Algerians vote in parliamentary elections; floods in Ivory Coast and waste crisis in Cameroon
Algerians headed to parliamentary elections overshadowed by the sidelining of hundreds of candidates. Meanwhile, dozens died in severe flooding in Ivory Coast, and a Cameroon waterfront community sees its environmental heritage swamped by rubbish.
Algeria held parliamentary elections on Tuesday, with voting overshadowed by the exclusion of hundreds of would-be candidates from the process. Citizens went to the polls to elect a new parliament.
In Ivory Coast, severe flooding has claimed dozens of lives, affecting several regions and causing widespread damage.
In Cameroon, a coastal community once known for its black volcanic sands is now facing the destruction of its environmental heritage as tons of rubbish engulf the area, threatening both nature and local livelihoods.
