00:00Let's go for your news report in Africa, starting with a democratic reply from the Congo.
00:14The European Union plans to exclude from January 2025 the Congolese coffee and cacao
00:20for non-compliance with environmental and social standards,
00:24threatening thousands of jobs and the economy of the RDC.
00:27It is at the heart of the Pan-African site afrique.com.
00:30This withdrawal, linked to biocertifications and Fairtrade,
00:35is part of the Zero Deforestation Regulation.
00:39Faced with this crisis, the RDC is exploring commercial alternatives
00:44with China and the United States, while reinforcing its capacity
00:48to comply with international requirements.
00:51A delay until December 30, 2025, will allow
00:54to continue negotiations with the European Union.
00:58This is what the information site concludes.
01:01Senegal is among the African economies with the highest growth
01:05expected in 2025, with an estimated growth of 8.8%.
01:11This is what has come out of the report of the United Intelligence Economist,
01:16Press Africa, which gives the information to specify that this progression
01:20is in a continental context, with 44 countries out of 54
01:25displaying economic performance higher than that of 2024.
01:29The report highlights the rise of foreign investments,
01:34notably in hydrocarbons, renewable energies and the pharmaceutical industry.
01:40However, the challenges exist for 28 countries engaged in reforms
01:44supported by the FMI, i.e. on Press Africa.
01:48And then in Togo, the Senate elections, initially scheduled for February 2, 2025,
01:55have been postponed to February 15 to allow a better organization,
01:59according to a presidential decree.
02:02The information is revealed by Press Africa.
02:05This last step for the application of the new constitution
02:09is strongly criticized by the opposition, which denounces a coup d'état constitutional.
02:14The opposition, notably the ANC, has announced that it will boycott these elections.
02:20Thus, in 2002, the Togolese Senate will be made up of 61 members,
02:25of which 20 will be appointed by President Fornia Simé in office since 2005.
02:30The public universities in Burkina Faso, for their part, have registered an increase
02:36in scientific and technical fields, representing nearly 33% of graduates in 2024-2025,
02:44compared to 29.35% in the previous year.
02:48This is what the Burkina Faso Information Agency reports.
02:51However, human and social sciences still dominate, according to our colleagues.
02:56The Prime Minister of Burkina Faso calls on to strengthen graduates in scientific fields
03:01to raise the challenges of innovation and development.
03:04Despite the professional opportunities they offer,
03:07the scientific fields struggle to attract as many students as other fields.
03:13To finish, in Guinea, the Minister of the Administration of the Territory launched on December 27, 2024,
03:19in Kindia, a review and evaluation program of the operating NGOs in Guinea.
03:25Guinea 360 indicates that this initiative aims to establish a national repertoire
03:30and to evaluate the governance of NGOs by temporarily suspending the delivery of agreements.
03:37Teams will be deployed to verify the functioning and conformity of existing structures.
03:43The goal is to strengthen a civil society responsible for supporting public institutions,
03:48not the source of information.
03:50This is the end of this African Press Review.
03:53Thank you for following it.
