A shopkeeper sells wheat flour in the Hamar-Weyne market in the capital Mogadishu, Somalia Thursday, May 26, 2022. Families across Africa are paying about 45% more for wheat flour as Russia's war in Ukraine blocks exports from the Black Sea. Some countries like Somalia get more than 90% of their wheat from Russia and Ukraine. That's forcing many people to substitute wheat for other grains. But the United Nations is warning that the price hikes are coming as many parts of Africa are facing drought and hunger. (Photo by Farah Abdi Warsameh/AP Photo)





Hanganani Gideon Dube, 75, a local farmer at his homestead in Mabale Village, Hwange, Zimbabwe, on May 26, 2022. Over a year ago, he survived an elephant attack while tending to his cattle, which left him with a broken leg. Zimbabwe has no compensation policy on crop and property damages, or injuries and fatalities from animal attacks. Hwange National Park is overflowing with elephants, which now routinely wander outside the boundaries to feed, sometimes running into deadly conflicts with people living in the surrounds. Zimbabwe and its neighbours in southern Africa have seen their elephant herds thrive in recent years and are now home to about 70 percent of the continent's elephants.

Tanzanian miners Mwagyma Ramadhan, Regina Daud and Maria Ng'ombe look for gold at an open-pit gold mine in Nyarugusu, Geita Region, Tanzania on May 27, 2022. Tanzania is a land rich in minerals and one of the main gold producers in Africa, with gold representing more than 90% of the country's mineral exports. Artisanal and small-scale gold mining have culturally and historically relegated women's participation.

Through the creation only-women miners associations and the help of projects advocating for rights and inclusion in the extractive industry such as the Collective Action For Rights Realisation In Extractives Industry (CLARITY), Tanzanian women in Geita region have been gradually gaining access to the mines while being able to benefit from the sector.
