South Africa's President Jacob Zuma raises his glass during celebrations of the centenary of Africa's oldest liberation movement, South Africa's ruling ANC, in Bloemfontein on January 8, 2012. Zuma vowed to stamp out divisions in South Africa's ruling ANC, at a massive rally to celebrate the centenary of the ANC. Tens of thousands packed a stadium in the scorching central city of Bloemfontein to wrap up weekend celebrations for the African National Congress which Nelson Mandela led to power after the fall of apartheid.

A panoramic photo made with multiple frames shows South Africans attend on January 8, 2012 celebrations of the centenary of Africa's oldest liberation movement, South Africa's ruling ANC, with some 100,000 people at a rally in Bloemfontein. The mass event with a centenary torch that was lit at midnight in the normally sleepy central city of Bloemfontein wraps up weekend celebrations for the African National Congress, which Nelson Mandela led to power after the fall of apartheid.

Veteran rights activist and member of the leftist Congress for the Republic Party (CPR) Moncef Marzouki makes the V sign before a press conference after a meeting to finalize the transition, in Tunis on November 21, 2011. Tunisia's three main parties formalised a power-sharing agreement today, 10 months after the ouster of the north African country's strongman Zine el Abidine Ben Ali. Moncef Marzouki will be president, Mustapha Ben Jaafar will chair the body tasked with drafting a new constitution and Hamadi Jebali will serve as prime minister. The 217-member assembly will meet for the first time on November 22 to confirm the three posts, political sources said.

A man walks past the seat of the German Chancellor as he hoovers the stage for the upcoming meeting of the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party on November 13, 2011 in Leipzig, eastern Germany. According to German media, a move to permit countries to exit the eurozone without leaving the EU is set to be discussed during the two-day congress from November 14 to 15. Another CDU proposal to overhaul the balance of power within the European Central Bank is also likely to feature at the party's congress. The party wants votes at the policy-setting governing council to be weighted according to a country's economic size and importance, rather than each of the 17 eurozone member states having an equal say, as is currently the case.
