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.
