Rwandan authorities made a gruesome discovery this week at the house of an alleged serial killer in the suburbs of Kigali. They uncovered the remains of at least 10 victims who had gone missing. Investigators have revealed that the suspect lured most of his victims, primarily sex workers, to his home before robbing and subsequently killing them. The shocking revelation has triggered numerous reactions, with local newspapers closely following the developments, and the community left in a state of shock.
Also, people in the northern Malian city of Timbuktu are struggling with skyrocketing prices after weeks of being stuck under siege by al Qaeda-linked extremists. Faced with the economic and physical threat, a delegation from the city headed to Bamako to petition for more support from the central government.
