Africa-Press – Botswana. A selection of the best photos from across Africa and beyond this week:

In neighbouring Rwanda on Friday, residents of Mubirizi village dig as they search for human remains following the discovery of a mass grave…

Since March, they have found more than 1,110 bodies of those killed in the 1994 genocide – here the village leader arranges some of the skulls.

A Mahatma Gandhi lookalike takes part on Sunday in the Salt March in Durban, the South African city where the Indian independence hero once worked. It is held annually to mark a trek Gandhi made in 1930 in protest at British colonisers taxing salt.

The next day, Ghanaian artist Awanle Ayiboro Hawa Ali is photographed in her Accra studio, where much of her work focuses on ending forced child marriage.

On Tuesday, students walk on the train tracks in the crowded settlement of Kibera in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi.

Two girls, whose families have fled the conflict that recently erupted in Sudan, giggle together on Wednesday in a wheelbarrow in the Chadian border village of Koufroun…

But the situation for some in Koufroun is desperate. Here Sudanese refugees dodge a stick-wielding soldier trying to maintain order as supplies from a Turkish aid group begin to run out on Sunday.

A woman grades tobacco leaves at a farm outside Zimbabwe’s capital, Harare, on Friday. Farmers are reportedly lamenting the low selling price for tobacco.

That evening, the full moon is seen near a Ferris wheel in Tunisia’s capital, Tunis.

Horse riders perform in an equestrian Moroccan artform, dating back to the 16th Century, known as the “Tbourida”, in the coastal city of Bouznika on Wednesday.

And a fine arts undergraduate puts the finishing touches to a King Kong creation during a sand sculpture competition on Tuesday in the Egyptian city of Alexandria.
