01:17Let's go to Ghana, where President John Dramani-Mahama is preparing to relaunch the creation project of a national airline after several unsuccessful attempts in recent years.
01:31It is written on Africa Sur 7.
01:34To concretize this project, the head of state plans to attract financial partners and open a call for interest.

02:38Canada, for its part, has also taken similar measures, suspending the delivery of permits for the exportation of goods regulated to Rwanda and re-evaluating its participation in government economic projects.
02:53These international sanctions aim to urge Rwanda to withdraw its troops from the RDC and to stop its support of the M23.
