| Africa Live: US court dismisses suit over child labour in DR Congo mines - BBC News | |
| (about 11 hours later) | |

| Liberia's lower house of parliament has approved a motion to set up a war crimes court - more than two decades after the end of a devastating civil conflict. | |
| In 2009 a Truth and Reconciliation Commission recommended the establishment of the court but the move was resisted partly because a number of accused warlords remain influential. | |
| About a quarter of a million people died during Liberia's civil wars between 1989 and 2003. | |
| The atrocities included massacres, rape, cannibalism and the forced recruitment of child soldiers. | |
| Lawmakers danced and sang as the resolution to set up a war crimes court was passed. | |
| It will now be debated by Liberia's Senate before being passed on to President Joseph Boakai. | |
