Todays news in Africa...

I spend most mornings digging through the news coming out of Africa. I read not only the international press; but local newspapers and news sources from African countries across the continent.

I know that most of you don't have time in the day to do the same; so I figured I'll peruse the news and then post a few of the headlines I find most interesting so that you can come to one place, sip your morning cup of coffee, click through to some of Mama's favorite news stories of the day and then get your day started.

Here are today's stories:

Eritrean cookers saving firewood , By Ed Harris BBC News, Eritrea

Development-Africa: Water, Water Everywhere... by Thalif Deen, IPS News South Africa

Labour-Niger:Gold Miners Exploit Children, by Ousseini Issa, IPS News South Africa

Enjoy,
Mama
