00:24to discuss the security situation in the region, especially in RDC.

01:11Afrique.com informs us that Russia and Rwanda have signed a historic agreement
01:16exempting the holders of diplomatic and service passports from visas
01:21at the Russian-African Partnership Forum.
01:23This engagement aims to strengthen bilateral relations
01:27and facilitate diplomatic and economic exchanges between the two nations.
01:32For Moscow, this strategic partnership with Kigali, a model of governance in East Africa,
01:38opens opportunities in key sectors such as energy and infrastructure.
01:43If we believe it, the information site of this agreement illustrates the Russian strategy
01:49of diversification of African alliances
01:52against the competition of Western and Chinese powers.
01:58Going to Burundi, where the torch of Peace 2024 was welcomed in a festive atmosphere
02:04in Rue Mange, reaffirming the commitment of Burundians
02:08for peace and socio-economic emancipation.

02:29received the torch in front of a large crowd.
02:32Initiated in 2006, the torch caravan of peace symbolizes every year
02:37the peaceful coexistence in all of Burundi, notes the online newspaper.
02:43Let's finish with this information on measles.
02:46According to the World Health Organization,
02:48more than 10 million measles cases were recorded in 2023,
02:53a 20% increase compared to the previous year.
02:57It's on the front page of Africa News.
02:59This highly contagious disease caused more than 107,000 deaths,
03:04mainly in children, due to a drop in vaccination coverage.
03:09According to our colleagues,
03:11only 74% of children received their second dose of vaccine,
03:16while a rate of 85% is necessary to avoid epidemics.
03:20The goal of eradicating measles by 2030 is now seriously threatened.
03:26This is where our African Press Review ends.
03:29Thank you for listening.
