The text is of “monumental importance as a witness to the earliest spread of Christianity around the Mediterranean,” said Eugenio Donadoni, senior specialist for books and manuscripts at Christies.”The earliest monks in Upper Egypt in the earliest Christian monastery were using this very book to celebrate the earliest Easter celebrations, only a few hundred years after Christ and only a hundred or so years after the last Gospel was written.”The book is part of the Bodmer Papyri, a collection of several texts which were discovered in the 1950s, and include Christian writings, Biblical extracts and pagan literature.Image source, ReutersImage caption, The codex was written in Coptic on papyrus around 250-350 ADThe manuscript itself contains texts including the first complete epistle of Peter, the Book of Jonah, and an Easter homily.The 104 pages, or 52 leaves were written by one scribe at the dawn of Christianity, over a period of 40 years. The book is one of the oldest texts in the world, the auction house says.Its remarkable preservation has been attributed to Egypt’s arid climate, Mr Donadoni said.The codex was bought by the University of Mississippi where it remained until 1981, and was acquired several times before being purchased by Norwegian manuscript collector Dr Martin Schøyen in 1988. Dr Schøyen is auctioning the manuscript alongside other pieces from his collection, which is one of the largest manuscript archives in the world. The codex is on display at Christie’s New York and will remain there until 9 April. It will be auctioned on 11 June in London, with an estimated sale price of between $2.6m and $3.8m (£2m to £3m).Related TopicsEgyptAuctionsChristianityMore on this storyBible becomes world’s most valuable manuscriptPublished18 May 2023Falklands War photographer to auction medalPublished2 days agoTop StoriesLive.

It said “so great is his love for flying that it appears that he cannot pass up any opportunity” despite pressing domestic demands, such as dealing with the high cost of living.Last month, as Mr Tinubu made yet another trip to Europe, Nigeria’s opposition leader Atiku Abubakar said on social media that Nigeria does not need a “tourist-in-chief”. He criticised the president’s private visit “while Nigeria is drowning in the ocean of insecurity”. This in some ways can be seen as a cheap shot, easily levelled by any critic. Presidents need to attend heads-of-state meetings and nurture foreign relations. This is important not only for diplomatic reasons, but also economic ones, as lucrative investment deals can be negotiated.But some have pointed out that late Tanzanian President John Magufuli never travelled outside Africa in his six years in office.’Personal glorification’Kenyan foreign policy analyst Prof Macharia Munene acknowledges that some trips are necessary but says others are undoubtedly “wasteful”.”You have presidents who love to be in the air… Some of these trips are personal glorifications, not so much for the country,” he told the BBC.Mr Ruto and Mr Tinubu and their spokespeople defend their trips as being vital to help address the very problems they are accused of ignoring.In the eight months since his inauguration, Mr Tinubu has made 14 trips – an average of just under two a month – but this is dwarfed by Mr Ruto, who has made about 50 journeys abroad since he became president in 2022 – averaging more than three a month.In comparison, Mr Ruto’s predecessor, Uhuru Kenyatta, averaged just over one foreign trip a month in his decade in charge, similar to the record of Nigeria’s previous president, Muhammadu Buhari. Other world leaders have also notched up the air miles, but Mr Ruto and Mr Tinubu face continued questions over whether every trip is necessary.The Nigerian and Kenyan leaders were both in Europe at the end of last month – Mr Ruto in Italy attending the Italy-Africa summit while Mr Tinubu was continuing his unexplained “private visit” to France, the third time he has been in the country since last May. Since then, Mr Ruto has been on other trips. In June 2023, just three weeks after assuming office, Mr Tinubu travelled to Paris for a two-day climate summit. He had already been there months earlier “to rest” and plan the transition shortly after being elected president. From Paris he went on to the UK for private talks with his predecessor, who had also travelled to “rest” after the elections. A week later, Mr Tinubu went to Guinea-Bissau for a meeting of West African bloc Ecowas, followed by a trip to Nairobi.In August he visited Benin, and in September India, the United Arab Emirates and the US for the UN General Assembly before returning to Paris. He was home for the whole of October before resuming travels with a trip to Saudi Arabia, then Guinea-Bissau and Germany at the end of November and a week later travelled to Dubai.The Nigerian presidency has said the trips are important for attracting foreign investment.”On every foreign trip I have embarked on, my message to investors and other business people has been the same. Nigeria is ready and open for business,” President Tinubu said in his 2024 New Year message.Mr Ruto’s travel schedule since his inauguration in 2022 has been even more hectic. Between September of that year and last December he had travelled abroad at least twice every month. In May 2023 he made five trips. He has travelled to various African countries, Europe and the US for global events and bilateral meetings.Image source, ReutersImage caption, Kenya’s President William Ruto (R) was one of Italy Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s guests as she hosted a summit of African leadersThis year, in January, he has been in Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Italy. And already this month, Mr Ruto has been to Japan and the UAE.There is not just the question of frequency, but also the question of cost.Mr Tinubu is said to have spent at least 3.4bn naira ($2.2m; £1.8m) on domestic and foreign travel in the first six months of his presidency – 36% more than the budgeted amount for 2023, the Nigerian newspaper Punch reported, citing GovSpend, a civic tech platform that tracks government spending.In Kenya, the Controller of Budget, an independent office that oversees government spending, showed a significant increase in the office of the president’s travel expenditure in the year to July last year – which included nine months of Mr Ruto’s presidency. Overall spending for both domestic and foreign travel for the year was over 1.3bn Kenyan shillings ($9.2m; £7.3m), exceeding the travel budget for the previous year by more than 30%.The Kenyan government spokesman did not respond to the BBC’s questions about Mr Ruto’s trips, though the president and the spokesman have often justified them.Mr Ruto himself has said he does not “travel like a tourist” and the trips are necessary to get foreign investment and create employment for Kenyans abroad – he recently said he had secured more than 300,000 job opportunities through negotiations.After the recent trip to Japan, Mr Ruto said he had secured deals worth more than $2.3bn.Image source, ReutersImage caption, Malawi’s President Lazarus Chakwera was in Saudi Arabia in November shortly before halting all foreign tripsWhile stressing the benefits of the presidential trips, both Nigeria and Kenya have also taken some action to counter the criticism of government employees travelling abroad.Kenya said it had cut its civil service travel budget by 50% in the wake of accusations of “wastage” on domestic and foreign trips. But this does not seem to have affected the president himself, who has said he will not shun trips as long as they are beneficial. Last month, the Nigerian president announced a reduction in the official travel delegation by about 60%. The directive announced by his spokesman Ajuri Ngelale included cutting down the president’s own travel entourage, but did not say whether he would cut the number of his trips.Yet is not just Kenya and Nigeria where the cost of travel has been a concern.As Congolese citizens prepared to go the polls last year, one of the criticisms of President Félix Tshisekedi was the number of trips he had made, with allegations that there was little to show for it.Last November, Malawian President Lazarus Chakwera suspended all international travel for himself and his ministers, and ordered all those abroad to return due to the economic problems the country was facing.Some other countries that have also had to address travel spending by government officials since last year include Uganda, The Gambia, Namibia and Sierra Leone, with the leaders of the latter two labelled by local newspapers the “flying president” – just like Kenya’s Mr Ruto.You may also be interested in:Paul Biya: Cameroon’s ‘absentee president’Kenya’s leader compared to biblical tax collector Ruto’s rise from chicken seller to Kenya’s presidentBola Tinubu – the ‘godfather’ who now leads NigeriaRelated TopicsKenyaNigeriaAround the BBCBBC Focus on Africa podcastTop StoriesIsrael sets deadline for ground offensive in RafahPublished43 minutes agoMurder arrest after three young children found dead in BristolPublished3 hours ago‘Without painkillers, we leave patients to scream for hours’Published8 hours agoFeaturesWho won what at the Bafta Awards – the full listWatch Baftas 2024 best bits… in two minutes.

It’s unacceptable,” explains Ismael Ndiaye, the general secretary of Senegal’s League of Imams.”It never happened before. Senegal never had a presidential election delayed. We feel betrayed. We feel misunderstood.”Islam is the predominant religion in Senegal – and comments such as these from influential Muslim leaders, who have mediated to resolve previous political crises, carry huge weight.Their blunt words reflect the wave of anger gripping the country as protesters take to the streets.Image source, AFPImage caption, Protesters run past a mosque in Dakar as tear gas is fired by the security forcesPresident Sall has justified his move, saying time is needed to resolve a dispute over who is eligible to stand as a presidential candidate after several opposition contenders were barred.But those on the streets see the postponement as a way for Mr Sall to cling on to power beyond the end of his second term on 2 April.In his first interview since the announcement, President Sall denied that was his intention.”I am absolutely seeking for nothing except to leave a country in peace and stability,” he told the Associated Press over the weekend.”I don’t want to leave behind a country that will immediately plunge into major difficulties.”These words ring hollow to his critics given his stance before his election in 2012, when he strongly objected to then-President Abdoulaye Wade seeking a third term.”A president cannot extend his term of office. It’s not possible,” Mr Sall, who once served as Mr Wade’s prime minister, said during the 2011 election campaign.”He can’t extend his term by even one day, otherwise the country will be plunged into chaos because the people would not recognise his legitimacy and there would no longer be authority in the country.”This video can not be playedTo play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.Media caption, Watch: The president who vowed to play by the rules but isn’tThere have been violent protests across Senegal over the past week, reportedly leaving three people dead.One of them was a geography undergraduate who died in clashes with police on a university campus in the northern city of Saint-Louis.In Dakar, debris remains strewn across the streets after stand-offs with the security forces, who fired tear gas to disperse protesters.Many of the four million inhabitants of the city are upset by the turn of events.We met Fanta Diallo as she ventured out to buy provisions for what seem like uncertain times ahead.”I am hurt and ashamed,” she told the BBC. Scared of further violence, she wants civil society to call a “dead city” general strike to show their anger against parliament’s backing of the vote delay.”This is not normal. We are not in a monarchy. I came to town today so I could buy everything I need.”Adamadou Bayeshare, who was out in central Dakar on Saturday with his friend Aminata Issete, agreed.”We need to demonstrate peacefully for what we believe is right, but we absolutely need to do something. I am personally very, very upset,” he told the BBC.Ms Issete was a little shy about being interviewed at first and then became very animated.”We are exhausted, we are upset and deeply disappointed. What is wrong with our country? What is wrong with that man?” she asked about the 62-year-old president.”Why this disrespect towards Senegal’s own citizens? We don’t deserve this. We want to vote for a new president,” she said.Image source, AFPImage caption, More than 60% of Senegal’s population is under the age of 25Defeated, disappointed, upset. Those are the recurrent words on the streets, echoed on social media where videos and pictures are circulating showing alleged police brutality from the protests.These young people are those who voice frustration over a lack of jobs in the country, and who form the backbone of support for Ousmane Sonko, a popular opposition leader who has been excluded from the presidential race because of a defamation conviction. He has faced many legal battles in recent years and has been jailed in a separate case for calling for insurrection, conspiracy with terrorist groups and endangering state security. This was in July, when his party was also banned. The 49-year-old maintains all the charges are politically motivated. Even with the election delayed until 15 December, there is little chance he will be allowed to stand – but anyone he backs might have a chance of winning.It is his stance on the economy that has particularly worried Senegal’s elite – but has won him a huge amount of support. He criticises the country’s close relationship with France, the former colonial power.The former tax collector wants a withdrawal from the CFA franc – the regional currency used by 14 African countries, which is pegged to the euro under a French government guarantee. Critics fear such a move would spell economic disaster.The next nine months may give the weak ruling coalition a chance to bolster its chances in the election and perhaps consider a stronger candidate in place of Mr Sall’s chosen successor, Prime Minister Amadou Ba, who is felt by some to lack charisma.The postponement may also work in favour of another opposition leader Karim Wade, son of the former president, who was disqualified as he had not renounced his French citizenship in time – electoral laws do not allow dual nationality.Image caption, It is hard to see how a solution will be found that can calm tensionGovernment spokesperson Abdou Karim Fofana reiterated that President Sall would not risk his credibility for just a few more months in power.”When you’re a leader, you often have to take unpopular and sometimes misunderstood decisions,” he told the BBC. “It’s not a pleasure for [President Macky Sall] to do so. He did this to preserve his country as he is mature and responsible.” With Mr Sonko’s level of support and the feeling that the judiciary has been used to exclude him from the race, it is hard to see how a solution will be found that can really resolve the crisis.Law expert El-Hadji Omar Diop says another scenario could play out.”President Sall may decide to step down the day after 2 April. In this case, the National Assembly president would assume power and call a new election within two to three months,” the university lecturer said.More demonstrations are planned for Tuesday, though they have not yet been authorised by the authorities.Mamadou Faye, a father of three, hopes this will get their message across without any need for “dead city” strikes as he says he cannot afford not to work.”No-one is going to help me. We are tired of all of this. We just want to be able to feed our family.”More on Senegal’s crisis:Why West Africa’s united front is in tattersSenegal on the brink after elections postponed Senegal’s Ousmane Sonko – youth hero or rabble-rouser?Related TopicsSenegalAround the BBCFocus on Africa podcastsTop StoriesLive.
