00:00Let's start with the armed forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has taken over the control of several strategic locations in the east of the country,
00:19notably the city of Massissi, in the north of Kivu, previously occupied by the rebels of the M23.
00:26According to the newspaper Africa News, this advance, supported by the local Wazelando fighters, aims to restore security in a region marked by persistent conflicts.
00:37The armed forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo maintain increased vigilance to prevent any resurgence of rebels and ensure the protection of local populations.
00:50In Niger, 124 former Boko Haram fighters, including 44 minors, have been reintegrated into civilian life after following a program of de-radicalization.
01:01According to VO Africa, this initiative, launched in 2017, in the Difa region, has allowed more than 700 individuals to reintegrate with a psychological and social monitoring to facilitate their re-adaptation to society.
01:17With this sixth wave of reintegration, the authorities of the transition in Niger continue the demobilization work of the fighters.
01:26And then in Guinea-Bissau, the presidential scrutiny will last between October and November 2025. This statement was made by the head of state during his speech in the press.
01:37He stressed that his mandate ends on September 4.
01:41Information relayed by FAPA.info.
01:44In addition, the president of Guinea-Bissau has exhorted those who dispute this date to seize the Supreme Court of Justice.
01:52Let us emphasize that this approach guarantees the transparency and respect of the country's electoral rules.

02:00Let's go to Mozambique, where the opposition calls for a protest against the installation of the parliament from the contested elections of October 2024.
02:09According to our colleagues from 360 Africa, the Frelimo party in power retains the majority of seats, while the RENAMO and the MDM refuse to participate in the ceremony of investiture denouncing electoral irregularities.
02:26Since last October, the post-electoral violence, which has evolved towards a more global contestation of power and state dysfunction in this poor and highly unequal country, has caused some 3,000 deaths.
02:40It is to be read on the Pan-African website.
02:43Let's finish in Senegal.
02:44The Minister of Industry and Trade, Cyrine Gay-Diop, announced the implementation of two sugar production plants in Casamance, specifically in the regions of Kolda and Zingachor.
02:56According to the APA News newspaper, this initiative aims to strengthen local production and reduce dependence on imports, while putting an end to the existing monopolies in the sugar sector for 50 years.
03:09The minister also announced the creation of 2,000 reference shops equipped with solar energy-operating freezing systems, aimed at modernizing retail and creating between 20,000 and 30,000 jobs.
