Africa's top shots: September 2016

A selection of photos from across the African continent this week:
A livestock trader waits for customers in Nigeria's city of Lagos on Sunday ahead of the Eid al-Adha festival when Muslims buy a ram to sacrifice, sharing the meat with those less fortunate...
The festival translates as the feast of sacrifice and marks God's gift of a ram as a substitute for Abraham's sacrifice of his son. Here a boy in Egypt's capital, Cairo, sells stuffed animals after dawn Eid prayers on Monday...
At the prayer ground in Lagos on the same day, a woman takes a selfie with friends...
More Eid selfies - this time by Kenyan men at the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem
Supporters of Gabon's opposition leader Jean Ping, who is challenging the recent election results, hold up their hands smeared in white paint as a sign of peace in the capital, Libreville, on Saturday.
Ethiopians pray for demonstrators killed in recent protests at a service in the capital, Addis Ababa, on Sunday.
