'Dead' Man Woke Up During Own Funeral In Zimbabwe

Mourners at a recent funeral in Zimbabwe were caught by surprise when the guest of honor sat up in his coffin.

According to local reports, 34-year-old Brighton Dama Zanthe, the seemingly dead man, woke up last week while friends and family prepared to pay their respects at his home in Gweru.

"I was the first to notice Mr. Zanthe’s moving legs as I was in the queue to view his body. At first I could not believe my eyes but later realized that there was indeed some movements on the body as other mourners retreated in disbelief," Lot Gaka, one of the mourners and Zanthe's employer, told The Herald.

Fortunately, Zanthe woke up just in time; his body was set to be transported to a funeral parlor later that day. After Zanthe "resurrected" he was taken to a local hospital, where he remained on life support for two days before eventually being released.

Bodies springing back to life is, perhaps surprisingly, not an uncommon occurrence in Zimbabwe. Earlier this year, a woman, who was believed to have collapsed and died during sex, woke up screaming after she was placed into a coffin.

In another "resurrection" in 2012, a Zimbabwe woman, suspected of being possessed, was rushed to a hospital after she stabbed herself and was allegedly declared dead, the Chronicle reports. However, she did not stay "dead" for long, as she "rose" shortly after.

Democratic Republic Of Congo Bans Text Messaging!!

Deaf people in the Democratic Republic of Congo say a ban on texting threatens their lives because they no longer receive warnings of violence.
The government banned SMS messages more than a week ago to preserve “public order” following disputed elections.
President Joseph Kabila was declared the winner, but his main rival, Etienne Tshisekedi, rejected the result.
There are an estimated 1.4 million deaf people in DR Congo, which is recovering from years of conflict.
Last month’s elections were the second since the 1998-2003 war which claimed about four million lives.
Four people were killed in the capital, Kinshasa, after Mr Kabila’s victory was announced. He is due to be inaugurated for a second term next week.
The official results gave him 49% of the vote against 32% for Mr Tshisekedi.
The opposition says they plan to organise mass protests, alleging the polls had been rigged.
‘Disturbing’
“Since 3 December, we’ve been unhappy,” said Pastor Kisangala, the deaf community’s religious minister in the capital, Kinshasa.
“We’re finding it very hard to communicate. All our communications used to go through SMS messages,” he says.
I met him as a centre for deaf and mute people in Kinshasa that I had visited to guage reactions to the election.
A group of friends at the centre kept giving their SMS service another try, switching on their mobile phones, typing a message, hitting send… but transmission still failed.
Interior Minister Adolphe Lumanu said he had been “forced to suspend all cellular [mobile phone] text messaging services to preserve public order” because they had been used to “incite ethnic hatred, insurrection and xenophobia” around the 28 November presidential and parliamentary elections.
The measure means deaf Congolese people have been condemned to indefinite isolation.
“Our members are scattered across the city, some are ill in hospital, others are dying. Without communication we don’t even know about it,” Mr Kisangala said.
“Few of them have been coming here, whereas with text messages, many used to come to church here on a Sunday.”
As electoral violence spread across Kinshasa in the days following the election, deaf people could not hear gunfire and were dependent on family and friends to tell them when it was safe to go out.
“When shooting started in the city I wanted to contact those who were sleeping here and tell them not to go out,” said Freddy Mata, the co-ordinator of a cultural centre for deaf people.
“I tried to contact them but messages didn’t go through. Then I remembered text messaging had been suspended. It was very disturbing.”
Essential tool
The community groups who support deaf people have been losing touch with each other.
Four people were killed in Kinshasa after results were declared
The president of the Deaf People’s Association in Kinshasa, Ngoy Mwanza, said he only heard about a deaf person being beaten up during electoral turmoil several days after the incident.

AC360 Anderson Cooper goes into hiding after being beaten

After two straight days of being attacked on the streets of Cairo, Anderson Cooper brought viewers his Thursday show from an undisclosed, dimly lit room, saying that he was "a little bit scared" for his safety.

Cooper was punched repeatedly and attacked for minutes by a mob of supporters of President Hosni Mubarak on Wednesday. On Thursday, another group of pro-government forces smashed a rock through his car window while he and his crew were in it. Cooper had been reporting from the Cairo streets, but by Thursday night he had gone to ground.

"I can't tell you where we are, frankly for our own safety," Cooper said. "Systematically, we have seen journalists attacked...we would like to be showing you instead of...this strange image of us sitting on the floor of an undisclosed location in dim lighting, we would like to be showing you pictures, live pictures, of what's happening in Liberation Square right now, but we can't do that because our cameras have systematically been taken down through threats, through intimidation, through actual physical attacks."

He continued, "I don't mind telling you I am a little bit scared, because we frankly don't really know what the next few hours will hold. And I think there's a lot of people who are scared tonight in Egypt."
