In Nigeria, anti-government protests against economic inequality and hunger are continuing, defying a request by President Bola Tinubu and a deadly crackdown by security forces. Half a dozen Nigerian states have imposed curfews. At least 13 people have been killed since the nationwide protests started on Thursday last week. Chukwu Ebuka: “I am having my empty pot here, which symbolizes hunger. There is terrible hunger in Nigeria. Do you understand? And my appearance today is to showcase the anger in me.
