Bosnia's Serb leader Milorad Dodik was indicted on Monday for refusing to heed rulings made by an international envoy charged with overseeing the country's landmark peace accords. Tensions have mounted since Dodik signed multiple pieces of controversial legislation in July -- including bills that refuse to recognise decisions made by Bosnia's international high representative Christian Schmidt and the constitutional court. The indictment came after prosecutors greenlit the charges against Dodik in August.

The story is told about a boss who asked his employee if he believed in life after death. When he responded 'no,' the boss said: 'Guess what? After you got permission to go to his funeral, he dropped by the office looking for you!' Today is Palm Sunday, the beginning of the Holy Week. The Gospel today is the narrative of the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew (Mt. 26: 14-27:11-54), which gives us the details of our Lord's untold pain and sufferings starting with his betrayal, agony in the garden, judgment, way of the cross, crucifixion, ending in his ugly death and burial.

NAIROBI — Kenyan police have now exhumed the bodies of 47 people thought to be followers of a Christian cult who believed they would go to heaven if they starved themselves to death. Police near the coastal town of Malindi started exhuming bodies on Friday from the Shakahola forest. 'In total, 47 people have died at the Shakahola forest,' detective Charles Kamau told Reuters on Sunday. The exhumations were still ongoing, Kamau said. Earlier this month, police rescued 15 members of the group — worshipers at the Good News International Church — who they said had been told to starve themselves to death.
