This photograph taken on September 10, 2026 shows a bartender working at Beach Wadiya shack in Colombo. Sri Lanka's seafood shack Beach Wadiya has hosted royalty including Britain's Princess Anne and sporting legends such as cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, but is facing demolition under a government-ordered coastal clean-up. The simple Colombo beach restaurant has welcomed a string of celebrities, featured in Madhur Jaffrey's culinary travels and received rave reviews in international publications, including London's Financial Times. The government's Coast Conservation and Coastal Resource Management Department gave the restaurant 10 days to pack up and leave -- or face demolition. (Photo by Ishara S.

Hawa Usman, 37, portions cooked noodles into plastic containers at an internally displaced persons (IDP) camp in Durumi, Abuja on September 7, 2026. More than 2.2 million people remain displaced in northeast Nigeria, where a long-running insurgency has uprooted millions since 2009. Paved roads give way to a dirt path choked with overgrown shrubs, the barbed wire-topped walls of housing estates swapped for one-room shacks. Tucked among the suburbs of Abuja, Nigerians chased from their homes by a jihadist insurgency have been living in this makeshift internally displaced persons (IDP) camp for 15 years, with little to show it. But as presidential elections loom, many carry voters' cards. The country is gearing up for a January poll defined by a tough economy and rising insecurity -- and camp residents were bearing the brunt of both during a recent visit by AFP journalists to the settlement, just down the road from an expensive, highly secured international school.
