According to a count made on the basis of official sources, the bar of 200,000 contaminations in Africa was thus crossed Tuesday. "It took 98 days to reach the 100,000 mark and only 18 to cross the 200,000 mark," said Dr Matshidiso Moeti, WHO regional director for Africa.

After the images were released, the victim's family called for an investigation, after police estimated last year that the officers were not at fault. The debate on police violence and the numerous deaths by asphyxiation of African-Americans during their arrest remains open a few months before the presidential election.
