Zimbabwe’s public health budget is under increasing strain as the government continues to rely significantly on external money and out-of-pocket contributions, resulting in a system that experts warn is very unsustainable in the long term. Sudan’s military has been accused of carrying out an air raid on a marketplace in the western area of Darfur, which reportedly killed over 100 people. The bombing was described as a “horrific massacre” by the rights group Emergency Lawyers. The oldest known Ten Commandments tablet, engraved in Paleo-Hebrew and dating from 300 to 800 AD, will be auctioned in New York on December 18. The tablet, which contains a Samaritan directive to worship atop Mount Gerizim, is anticipated to fetch $1-2 million.
