Crackdown on Arba'een march
Prominent Nigerian cleric, Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky, says the 2014 massacre in the northern city of Zaria was a pre-planned crackdown by the government. In an exclusive interview with Press TV, Zakzaky said as many as 1200 people were killed in the carnage and many more were injured. The cleric noted that the Zaria massacre was the worst of its kind but opened the eyes and ears of the people. Zakzaky also said the recent deadly crackdown on the Arba’een march in the capital Abuja was not justified. Elsewhere in his remarks, Zakzaky said the people of his country will opt for an Islamic democracy if given the choice.

The North Korean leader also expressed willingness to restore inter-Korean hotlines as of October. Kim said it is up to South Korea to continue standoff or foster new relations. He noted that Pyongyang has no reason to provoke or hurt Seoul.
