00:05 Welcome to this African press review on Mediain.
00:09 Starting in Benin, President Patrice Tallon agreed to have the electoral file audited
00:16 for the general elections in 2026.
00:19 This information is from the online newspaper Ici l'Omé.
00:23 This grant was made by the former president of Benin
00:26 and the meeting with President Patrice Tallon at the presidential palace
00:30 specifies the same source of information.
00:32 The return of the exiles and the release of political detainees, among others,
00:37 were at the heart of the discussion.
00:39 As for the release of the opponent Rekia Madougou,
00:43 President Tallon opposed his categorical refusal, if we believe it, here in Lomé.
00:50 President Niassembé has ordered the government to take immediate measures
00:57 to organize the next elections by the end of the first quarter of 2024.
01:04 It is to be read on Africa Radio, initially scheduled for December 2023,
01:08 according to presidential vows.
01:10 The elections arouse the attention of the opposition,
01:13 which is mobilizing, denouncing irregularities in the recent election review
01:18 held from April to June.
01:21 Despite the protests, the electoral file validated by the International Organization
01:26 of Francophonie in November was deemed reliable enough
01:30 to guarantee elections in conditions of confidence.
01:35 The Senegalese opponent Karim Ouad, for his part,
01:40 took a step towards the 2024 presidential election in Senegal.
01:45 The son of former President Abdelaye Ouad has submitted his requested petition,
01:50 despite persistent uncertainties about his candidacy,
01:54 according to his party, the Democratic Party of Senegal.
01:58 At the age of 55, Karim Ouad has submitted a petition of 30 million francs CFA,
02:03 that is, 45,000 euros, to the Caisse des dépôts et consignations.
02:07 Although designated candidate by the PDS,
02:10 questions remain about the legal validity of Karim Ouad's candidacy,
02:16 due to a conviction in 2015 for illicit enrichment.
02:21 Let's finish with the relations between Cameroon and Gabon,
02:26 which remain tense, that's what we can read at the Cameroon news.
02:31 Cameroonian President Paul Biya refuses to receive
02:36 the new Gabonese leader, Brice Clotaire Olinguengema,
02:41 who came to power by coup on 30 August 2023.
02:45 The actions of the President of the Gabonese transition
02:48 towards the president, Ali Bongo, Ondimba,
02:51 bring old tensions between the two member states of the CEMAC.
02:55 Diplomatic tensions go back to 2008,
02:58 when Cameroon had supported the transition to Gabon,
03:01 the media reports in its columns.
03:04 That's what Actu Cameroon concludes.
03:07 And that's the end of this African press review.
03:11 Thank you for following it and thank you for staying loyal.
