00:00Let's start with Bama Dennet who informs us that a team of five former African leaders
00:18was appointed this week to ensure mediation in the security crisis in the Democratic Republic
00:24of Congo.
00:25These are Lissigun Abesenjo of Nigeria, Oru Kinyeta of Kenya, Galema Motlan of South Africa,
00:34Catherine Samba-Pansa of Central Africa and Saleh Workzadeh of Ethiopia.
00:39This team was appointed during a virtual summit of the East African Community and the Development
00:47Community of South Africa.
00:48The fights between the government of the RDC and the rebel group M23 have intensified
00:55in recent months, causing the displacement of nearly one million people, of which 400,000
01:00children, since January 2025, the source specifies.
01:04This appointment comes after the withdrawal of Angola from its role as mediator.
01:09She aims to find a sustainable solution to this conflict that has been going on for decades,
01:15adds the online newspaper.
01:17In Mozambique, the European Union has reaffirmed its support for political dialogue in the country
01:23in the wake of electoral tensions since October 2024.
01:28This is APA News information.
01:30After a meeting between President Daniel Chapo and former candidate Venetio Motlan,
01:37the EU expressed its commitment to accompany the reconciliation process and to support
01:43the implementation of the agreed reforms.
01:45The European Union encourages all political actors to engage in constructive dialogue
01:51to restore confidence, accelerate essential reforms and meet the expectations of Mozambicans.
01:57Priorities include the consolidation of democratic governance, respect for human rights and
02:03the promotion of sustainable development, writes the African Press Agency.
02:07Let's go to Niger, where General Abdelrahman Chani was officially appointed President
02:12of the Republic of Niger for a five-year mandate.
02:15This decision follows the recommendations of the national assises, which validated the
02:21extension of the transition under his leadership, reported in his African columns on SET.
02:26At the same time as his ascent, Chani was promoted to general of the army corps and
02:31placed his mandate under the signs of the re-foundation and national reconciliation.
02:38In his speech, he stressed the need for profound reforms to ensure the stability and sustainable
02:44development of the country.
02:46He also stated that justice would not be compromised by the reconciliation, reports the information site.
02:54Angola will reach food security, according to its UNEPA news.
03:00Indeed, notes the source, the Angolan President, Diao Lorenzo, expressed his optimism.
03:06As for the reach of this food security in the short and medium term, underlining the
03:12growth of national agricultural production, this confidence is reinforced by the inauguration
03:18of the Arafitec food oil plant, which produces one million liters per day.
03:24Angola has already stopped importing certain agricultural products, such as onions and
03:30potatoes, which are now grown locally and marketed in large markets,
03:36especially in Luanda.
03:38The President insisted on the need to increase the quantity and improve the quality of the
03:43products to consolidate these positive trends, according to FAPA info.
03:50Let's finish in Ethiopia.
03:51The health situation remains worrying in the Tigray, nearly three years after the end of
03:58the war.
03:59The number of HIV cases has increased significantly, from a prevalence rate of 1.4% to 3% in part
04:09due to the drop in financial aid from the USAID and the disturbances caused by the conflict.
04:14This is what we can read in the columns of African News.
04:17Interruptions in access to essential medicines have led to a recrudescence of
04:24transmission from mother to child, with children born with HIV.
04:30The region, which was once a model in the fight against HIV, is now compromised by
04:35a seriously damaged health system.
04:39That's all for the African News Review.
