00:00Let's go for your African Press Review on Média, starting with the African Union,
00:14which congratulated the restoration of ties between Somalia and Ethiopia.
00:17The two countries have buried their war ashes for a year, caused by the quest of Addis Ababa
00:23for access to the sea from Somaliland, according to Africa News.
00:29In December, following the mediation of Turkey, the two leaders committed to resolving the
00:35difference and to negotiate a potential agreement that would give Ethiopia access to the sea.
00:41This development means that Ethiopian troops will remain in Somalia as part of a mission
00:47to maintain the peace of the African Union.
00:50Somalia had first threatened to replace them with Egyptian soldiers, notes the source of information.
00:57The Commission of the Economic Community of the States of West Africa
01:00wishes to engage in technical discussions in view of an orderly withdrawal of Mali from the organization,
01:06reports APA News.
01:08The organization invited Mali to participate in sessions scheduled two weeks before the official withdrawal date.
01:17In addition, the CEDAO has granted a six-month delay to the AES to organize the implementation of this separation,
01:25while leaving the door open to a possible reintegration of the concerned countries.
01:30The Senegalese president, Bassirou Diomayfay, mandated to facilitate this reintegration,
01:36plans a visit in the concerned countries to promote reconciliation.
01:41In South Africa, 60 minor clandestine bodies were extracted in two days from a disaffected gold mine.
01:48The police proceed with an operation that should last 10 days in total,
01:53to get an unknown number of zamazama out of the ground, as the clandestine miners are called in South Africa.
02:00This is at the head of the Pan-African site, 360 Africa.
02:04Our colleagues insist that another operation is underway to recover and arrest illegal miners for illegal mining exploitation.
02:13More than 1,500 clandestine miners, for the most part foreigners, have been arrested on the site by the police since last August.
02:20In Gabon, the Minister of Digital Economy, General Jean-Rodrigue Banza and Gabon S.A.S.
02:26have signed an agreement for the training and employment of young people in the digital world,
02:30says our Union brothers in the press.
02:33This agreement aims to guarantee the digital sovereignty of Gabon,
02:37while promoting training and transfer of skills,
02:40thus positioning the country as a major player in modern technologies in Africa.
02:46The project should generate 3,000 direct jobs,
02:49thus responding to the vision of the Gabonese authorities to stimulate employment
02:54and prepare the country for the era of electric vehicles, concludes the information site.
02:59Let's finish with the Malagasy government, which has put in place a Tosk of Force Ri,
03:04to respond to the fluctuating rice prices on the market.
03:08Madagascar Tribune indicates that this Tosk of Force will bring together various stakeholders
03:14who will address issues of non-respect speculation,
03:18regulation and corruption related to the price of rice.
03:21And in order to cover the entire value chain of rice,
03:24the Tosk of Force will have several specialized departments in production,
03:28logistics, processing, marketing, among others.
03:32Our brothers in the press remind us that the objective is now to increase the production of an additional million tons
03:38to meet the food needs of the population.
03:42This is how this report on the news in Africa ends.
