Protests in Niger over the publications of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed have left at least 10 people dead and 45 churches torched.
Hotels, bars and shops were also attacked and looted during the protests over the weekend.
Over 99% of Niger's population is Muslim and many were offended by the depiction of the prophet in the latest issue of Charlie Hebdo magazine, which was attacked by gunmen earlier this month.
According to a police spokesperson, a Christian school and an orphanage were burned down during the protests. Niger's president, Mahamoud Issoufou also drew the protestors ire, over his decision to attend the Paris unity march in solidarity with Charlie Hebdo, along with several other world leaders.
Demonstrations also occurred in Karachi, Khartoum, Mogadishu and Algiers.
