Nigeria: Sacked Doctors
People protest against the sacking of doctors during a hearing at the Industrial court in Lagos, Nigeria, Wednesday, May, 16. 2012. The mass firing of doctors in Nigeria's largest city is exposing the downfalls of the nation's failing medical system. Lagos state, which is home to the megacity of Lagos, recently fired 788 doctors who had been on strike and protesting their wages. On Wednesday, lawyers for the doctors and the government appeared in an industrial court to argue about the case. Image: Sunday Alamba/AP
