Liberian Journalist Reports on Female Genital Mutilation, Goes into Hiding

Via the Committee to Protect Journalists:

Mae Azango, a reporter for the daily FrontPage Africa and New Narratives, a project supporting independent media in Africa, told CPJ she had gone into hiding after receiving several threats for an article she published on Thursday about Liberian tribes practicing female genital mutilation on as many as two out of every three girls in the country. “They left messages and told people to tell me that they will catch me and cut me so that will make me shut up,” Azango said. “I have not been sleeping in my house.”

Wade Williams, the editor of FrontPage Africa, said that several people around town had confronted her over the article, which was widely discussed on radio programs. Williams also said that the newspaper and its personnel were receiving threatening phone calls. “They said that for us putting our mouth into their business, we are to blame for whatever happens to us,” she said.

Azango is a regular contributor to Global Post and won a 2011 grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting to cover reproductive health in Liberia.

Cheers

To illustrate the TIME International story “Friendly Rivals,” by Hannah Beech, we published this stunning photograph of President Richard Nixon and Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai toasting each other during on the first day of President Nixon’s historic visit to China in 1972.

UPDATE: We just heard from Denis Paquin at the Associated Press, who said the photographer who captured this historic moment between Nixon and Zhou is Bob Daugherty. Paquin also pointed out photographer Dirck Halstead, standing on the right.

To quote TIME’s International Pictured Editor Patrick Witty, “Does it look like Nixon is fist-bumping Zhou?”

Oh yeah, our Books editors have a lot of fun on their little corner of the Internet.
