00:00We are delighted to welcome you to this African Press Review on Média, that we are starting
00:13at the Tiad.
00:14Mahamad Idris Deby Hikno, President of the Republic of the Tiad, was elevated to the
00:19dignity of Marshal during an official ceremony in N'Djamena, in recognition of his military
00:25and political career.
00:26It is to be read on APA News.
00:28This distinction, coming from a resolution of the National Councils, also honours the
00:33Tiadian Armed Forces for their role in the stability of the country.
00:38In his speech, the President called on national unity and the strengthening of dialogue to
00:44consolidate peace and development.
00:46He reaffirmed his commitment to building a prosperous and exemplary Tiad for its citizens,
00:52according to our fellow citizens.
00:53In Cameroon, the government suspended five NGOs, including Red Act and Rich Out Cameroon,
01:01for illicit and unreliable external funding of a total amount of 16 billion francs EFA,
01:08information provided by VO Afrique.
01:10The Minister of Territorial Administration evokes suspicions of money laundering and
01:16activities incompatible with their profits.
01:18This decision arouses criticism from civil society, which denounces an amalgam and calls
01:24for the lifting of these suspensions, which are deemed arbitrary.
01:27The debate highlights the tensions between financial transparency and freedom of NGOs
01:32in the country.
01:33For its part, Benin has obtained the suspension of the sale of the king's recade, Béanzin,
01:40planned for auctions in Paris.
01:42This highlights once again the tensions around the cultural assets plundered during
01:48colonization.
01:49Afrique.com revealed that this object, a symbol of the royal power in the Daome, had been
01:55given to a French officer during the king's redemption, a version strongly contested
02:01by the Benin authorities.
02:02After the diplomatic intervention of the Benin, the auction house withdrew the object from
02:07its catalogue, although it remains officially for sale.
02:10This case raises the debate on the restitution of African cultural treasures, while existing
02:16initiatives are deemed insufficient.
02:18Between January and November 2024, nearly 36,000 migrants joined Europe via the Atlantic
02:25Road, an increase of 12% compared to 2023, according to the OIM.
02:30Dakar Actu, which gives the information, underlines that this trajectory, especially towards
02:36the Canary Islands, remains the most deadly, with 957 disappearances recorded, an increase
02:43of 72%.
02:44Aïssa Takane, head of the OIM mission in Senegal, calls for inclusive solutions and
02:50for regular migration routes to reduce these tragedies.
02:54The urgency of a sustainable and protective approach for migrants, especially women,
03:00is highlighted to transform these flows into opportunities for development, notes the source of information.
03:30It is the end of this African Press Review on Medellin.
03:44Thank you for following it.
