Zambia's First White President

President Michael Sata died Tuesday at a London hospital at the age of 77, Zambian officials announced Wednesday. Vice President Guy Scott (pictured) took over as interim leader, becoming the first white head of state in Africa since apartheid.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing on of our beloved president," Cabinet Secretary Roland Msiska said Wednesday in an address to the nation.

Fleeing South Sudan

The UN has suspended the relocation of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Juba to a site outside the city after meeting resistance from those it is encouraging to move.
IDPs are angered by the dismantling of their homes and shops, and what they perceive as a forced move to a site that they feel will make them isolated and more vulnerable to attack.
"We have had to suspend the relocation process because of security incidents involving NGO staff," Joe Contreras, spokesman for the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), told Al Jazeera.
"We have encountered some resistance to the move. There have been some nasty exchanges and threats made against the staff of our humanitarian partners."


The move involves the relocation of IDPs from the UNMISS base at Tomping near Juba airport to a protection of civilians (POC) site known as POC3, a few kilometres o
utside Juba. Almost 11,000 people have been relocated from the Tomping site since March, with just over 3,000 remaining.
According to Contreras, people are only being moved with their consent.
