00:00Welcome to the African news that we are opening in Togo.
00:13The National Assembly approved the extension of the State of Emergency in the region of the savannas for an additional 12 months as of March 13, 2025.
00:26This decision was made because of the persistence of security threats in this region, which is regularly targeted by terrorist groups.
00:38The main objective of this extension is to allow the government to adapt its response to the evolutions of the security threat,
00:47to strengthen the protection of citizens and to preserve public order and to guarantee territorial integrity, specifies the legislative power.
00:58The savanna region remains a focal point of efforts to fight terrorism and stability in Togo for several years, reports the African Press Agency.
01:09Ivory Coast and Ghana have, on their part, strengthened their cooperation to provide significant support to member countries of the Alliance of States of the Sahel,
01:18including Mali, Burkina Faso and Nigeria, writes AFRICOM.
01:23This aid aims to respond to the growing humanitarian and security challenges in the region, marked by persistent conflicts and major socio-political problems.
01:33Presidents Alassane Ouattara and Dioune Dramani-Mahama stressed the urgency of this assistance at a joint press conference in Abidjan.
01:42At the same time, they launched a call for these countries to reintegrate the economic community of the states of West Africa,
01:50emphasizing the advantages of a wider regional integration, notes the African information site.
01:57Direction, Guinea-Conakry. The head of the Guinean government, Amadou Riba, recently announced that Guinea will organize a referendum as well as presidential and legislative elections in 2025.
02:11According to 360Afrique.info, this event will mark the effective return to constitutional order.
02:18These elections will allow the establishment of judicial institutions and guarantee a governance in line with democratic principles.
02:26However, notes the source, the Prime Minister stressed that the main difficulty to overcome concerns the constitution and the electoral file, which has always been a source of tension in the country.
02:39The government asked the Ministry of Territorial Administration to convene the pilot committee to define the period of organization of these major consultations, add our colleagues.
02:52And then, in South Sudan, the Minister of Oil and the Chief of Staff of the Army, both close to Vice President Riek Machar, were arrested by the National Army.
03:04According to information given by African News, this action took place while Machar's residence was encircled by troops, exacerbating tensions between Machar and President Salva Kiir.
03:17These unexplained arrests put at risk the 2018 peace agreement that had ended a devastating civil war.
03:25The online newspaper specifies that recent tensions have been fueled by clashes in the state of a higher island, where an allied armed group with Riek Machar attacked a military base.
03:40Let's finish with the Malian government, which has dismissed several administrative and security officials.
03:46Decisions made after a series of murderous accidents on shelter sites, including a recent drama in Bilali Kotol, which killed several dozen people.

03:59These measures aim to improve management and security in the artisanal mining sector, especially after the incidents in Kokoyo and Bilali Kotol.
