Ballots are being counted by hand in Mozambique’s presidential election, a process that could continue for several days. The human rights organization Amnesty International says three sub-Saharan African countries considering ending the death penalty should do so now, paving the way for others around the world to follow in their footsteps. The condition and exact whereabouts of Cameroon’s President Paul Biya remained unclear Thursday, after the government said he was alive in Geneva, Switzerland, in response to rumors on social media that he had died.
