Day in Photos: Liberian President’s Funeral, Plane Crash in Chartres, and Nigerian Teachers’ Strike
A funeral catafalque for former Liberian president Samuel Doe and his wife Nancy is escorted by members of the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) during their funeral in Zwedru on June 27, 2025. Hundreds of people gathered Friday in rural Liberia for the state funeral of the controversial former president, 35 years after his assassination, part of the country's ongoing reconcilliation efforts over its violent past. Doe's brutal 1990 torture and murder were an early turning point in the country's two civil wars, which killed around 250,000 people and ravaged Liberia's economy. Matthew Jacobs/AFP via Getty Images

A strike by elementary school teachers in Nigeria's capital Abuja is dragging into its fourth month as workers demand to be paid the new federal minimum wage—enacted almost a year ago but yet to be implemented by local governments. The prolonged closure, affecting more than 400 schools in Abuja's six area councils, has left over 50,000 pupils out of classrooms in a country where more than 20 million children are already out of school.
