Nigeria Anti-Hunger Protests Continue Amid Violent Crackdown
------------------------------------------------------------

In Nigeria, anti-government protests against economic inequality and
hunger are continuing, defying a request by President Bola Tinubu and a
deadly crackdown by security forces. Half a dozen Nigerian states have
imposed curfews. At least 13 people have been killed since the
nationwide protests started on Thursday last week.

Chukwu Ebuka: "I am having my empty pot here, which symbolizes hunger.
There is terrible hunger in Nigeria. Do you understand? And my
appearance today is to showcase the anger in me. Do you understand?"
