Senegal's highest court ruled Friday evening that the country's increasingly frail, 85-year-old president could run for a third term in next month's election, a deep blow to the country's opposition which has vowed to take to the streets if the aging leader does not step aside.

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 03:10:01 +0100 (Reuters) - Local resident Wu Wenyong, diagnosed with cancer, lies on a bed at the hospital in Xiaoxin village, Yunnan province, January 10, 2012. Wu, 15, was diagnosed with thymoma, cancer of the thymus gland in the chest , and with leukaemia last September. About 3 km (two miles) from Wu's home stands a hill of chromium slag. The runoff from chromium-6, listed as a carcinogen by the World Health Organisation, seeped into the nearby water and earth that Wu's family blames for his condition. The chromium hill is a rallying point for a coalition of environmental advocacy groups, who have filed a public interest lawsuit for residents of Xiaoxin and nearby Xinglong in a special environment court.
