Triumph of Death – Pieter Bruegel the Elder
“The Angolan government chose to use the northern enclave of Cabinda as a venue for the African Cup of Nations to improve the province’s war-torn image and drive investment. But its plan has turned out to be a tragic own goal, with reports of three dead, Togo set to pull out of the tournament and Angola in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The Togolese team – which includes Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor and Aston Villa midfielder Moustapha Salifou – were shot at by a group of gunmen as they travelled by bus from the Republic of Congo into Cabinda, which is separated from Angola by a strip of the Democratic Republic of Congo.” (BBC)
