Libyans have hailed the success of an online campaign to share selfies of themselves with black African workers in a display of solidarity, after footage emerged of African migrants being sold as slaves, external.

The English-language hashtag #LibyansAgainstSlavery has been used on both Twitter and Facebook.

A message shared on a popular Facebook page on 20 November called for Libyans to share photos of themselves with African migrants to prove that "Libyans are against the slave market".

The page posted an update yesterday, praising Libyans’ responses and saying: “I have received thousands of pictures of Libyans with African workers from all over beloved Libya. They have really proved that Libyans are a good people and want peace for all, and just want someone to point them in the right direction”.

While many saw the pictures as a way to change racist attitudes in Libya, others argued that the focus of the hashtags ignored the struggles facing Libyans after nearly seven years of instability.

Zimbabwean police were nowhere to be seen in the days after the army takeover of the country.

Before the army operation, traffic police wearing bright-yellow bibs were an ever-present sight in Zimbabwe.

Motorists used to complain that police would set up roadblocks and demand bribes.

It was one of the noticeable changes for Zimbabweans under the “gunners”, as the soldiers are affectionately known in Zimbabwe’s street lingo.

Despite the police absence there has been relative order on the streets of the capital Harare.

Police slowly started returning to work on Tuesday.

The Danish government has apologized to Ghana for its role in the slave trade.

Foreign Minister Anders Samuelson described it as a "sinful and unforgettable" part of human history that cannot be justified under any circumstance.

A delegation from Demark led by Queen Magarethe II is in Ghana on an official visit.

Ghana, which was known as the Gold Coast, was made a Danish crown colony in 1750, at a time when the global trade in African slaves was very active.

The Danish government sold its territory to Britain in 1814 but thousands of Ghanaians were already sold into slavery in Europe and America.

Denmark was among the first countries to abolish slavery in 1792.

On the agenda during the Danish Queen’s visit to Ghana is the problem of human trafficking and the causes of mass migration, like poverty, unemployment and conflict.

A video by an Algerian blogger who impersonates a homeless man to shed light on economic, political and social conditions in the country, has attracted more than 5 million views on YouTube.

"My son dies in hospital while I stand by helpless, meanwhile you [state officials] go abroad for treatment," Anes Tina is heard saying as he lists his grievances against the government.

The video, titled "Rani Zafaan" which means "I am angry" in Algeria's Arabic dialect, was inspired by the real-life story of a homeless man known for using the phrase.

It has caused such a stir on social media that Algeria's government has responded.

Communication Minister Djamel Kaouane said Mr Tina had the right to be angry but accused him of attracting clicks and views, suggesting that the blogger was using the video for financial gain.

Angola's ambassador to Tanzania has called for the former Angolan president, Jose Eduardo dos Santos, to be prosecuted for crimes allegedly committed during his 38-year rule.

Ambrosio Lukoki said Mr Dos Santos should resign as leader of the governing MPLA party as he was using this position to avoid prosecution.

Angola's new president, Joao Lourenco, recently sacked the heads of the police and intelligence services, side-stepping a law that he would not do so for eight years.

He also sacked Mr dos Santos' billionaire daughter as head of the state oil company.

Mr Lourenco, nicknamed "JLo", was hand-picked by Mr Dos Santos to stand in elections in August - and at the time analysts expected him to maintain the status quo.

Newsday adds that villagers picketed at the gate of Grace Mugabe's orphanage while others sang revolutionary songs.

Teachers are defying the authorities and continuing with their strike despite the death of two teenagers earlier this week.

A 15-year-old and 17-year-old died in clashes between the police and mainly student protesters on Monday and Tuesday in the capital, Conakry.

They have been blocking main roads in certain areas of the city – some have stoned vehicles and damaged public property.

The students are angry about the strike and want the teachers to return to classrooms – and think the authorities should meet the strikers’ demands.

It is the second teachers’ strike this year – eight people died in similar protests in February.

Teachers began their strike 10 days ago, demanding an improvement to their pay and conditions.

Earlier in the week, four trade unionists behind the strike who had been detained have been released.

Publicly funded primary and secondary schools across the country have been closed. Private schools remain open.
