| Mahou villagers in Douelala, western Côte d'Ivoire, gather at a Muslim funeral for Diamond Soualid, 39, who died after falling from a palm tree while harvesting palm nuts. During the ceremony, men and women mourn separately. Soualid's body lies in the community's only casket, reused for every village funeral.
