Schools in Guinea 'reopen after three month strike'
Millions of children went back to school today in Guinea for their first classes in
more than three months after teachers ended strike action, reports AFP news agency.
The teachers' union agreed a deal
with the government four days ago over pay and work conditions, AFP adds.
The strike began at the start of October after the teachers union SLECG
accused the government of reneging on the terms of a previous deal,
guaranteeing a pay hike.
The wage deal with the government should guarantee teachers a 40% pay rise, says AFP.
Senegal court 'bans two from presidential vote'
BBC
Senegal's Constitutional Court has blocked two prominent opposition
figures from contesting presidential elections next month, reports AFP news agency.
They barred former Dakar mayor Khalifa Sall and ex-minister Karim Wade because of convictions for misuse of funds.
AFP adds that the court authorised five candidates, including outgoing head of state Macky Sall.
The four other candidates in the 24 February vote will be a rising
opposition MP, Ousmane Sonko; former prime minister Idrissa Seck; Madicke
Niang, an associate of former president Abdoulaye Wade; and El Hadji Sall, of
the Unity and Assembly Party (PUR).
President Sall, who is not related to the two other men bearing that name,
was elected in 2012.
Rastafarian girl banned from Kenyan high school
BBC
A
Rastafarian girl who was turned away from her new school in Nairobi
because of her hair, has spoken of her disappointment to Kenyan media
outlets.
Makeda
Ndinda told the Standard newspaper that she was forced to choose
between her "hair or books" by the deputy principal at Olympic High
School after he noticed her hair, wrapped in a hair wrap.
Miss Ndinka was told that only Muslims were allowed to cover their hair at the school, according to the newspaper.
There are no standard constitutional laws regulating dress codes in schools in Kenya.
A Nairobi-based human rights organisation, Katiba Institute, has tweeted that it would like to assist Miss Ndinka:

Senegal presidential hopeful loses legal challenge
The
Supreme Court in Senegal has rejected the final appeal by the
imprisoned former mayor of Dakar, Khalifa Sall, against a corruption
sentence - one day before presidential election campaigning is due to
start.
Mr
Sall, who is one of the main opposition challengers, was sentenced last
March to five years in prison, accused of embezzling $3m (£2.4m).
The
opposition has accused President Macky Sall of sidelining opposition
figures by selectively enforcing corruption laws. He is standing for
re-election in February.
Another
challenger has been exiled to Qatar. Karim Wade, who is the son of the
former President Abdoulaye Wade, was banished after being given a
conditional pardon for corruption, and reportedly told not to return to
Senegal until after the election is over.
