Hundreds stranded in North Carolina floods after Hurricane Matthew

Posted: 11 Oct 2016 05:46 AM PDT

By Jonathan Drake LUMBERTON, N.C. (Reuters) - Hundreds of people were rescued by boat and helicopter as floodwaters inundated North Carolina towns on Monday in the wake of Hurricane Matthew, and officials warned that life-threatening flooding from swollen rivers would continue for days. Matthew, the most powerful Atlantic storm since 2007, was downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone on Sunday. The hurricane killed around 1,000 people in Haiti and United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Monday some Haitian towns and villages had just about been "wiped off the map." In the United States, the number of fatalities rose to at least 23, with nearly half in North Carolina.

"We still have not been told why she was detained and we haven't been able to communicate with her," said Rene Nkoghe, reached by telephone.

Racism and privilege stoke S.Africa student protests

Posted: 11 Oct 2016 05:10 AM PDT

Weeks of protests at South African universities have targeted tuition fees -- but students say they are also about racism and inequality in a society still plagued by the legacy of apartheid. The demonstrations have tapped into deep problems in the country, where many black people are unable to get decent education, jobs or housing despite white minority rule ending more than 20 years ago. At a meeting at the prestigious Wits University in Johannesburg last week, Mcebo Dlamini, one of the student leaders, was greeted with thunderous applause when he tackled the touchstone subject of race.
