00:00Let's go for the news in Africa, starting in Ethiopia, the Ethiopian Prime Minister
00:16Abiy Ahmed called on the Tigrayan population to designate a new leader in order to resolve
00:23political disagreements and avoid a return to war in the region.
00:28The information is given by AFRIC Media TV.
00:32This initiative aims to replace the current interim president, Getachew Reda, whose
00:39disagreements with Debrecen Jebel Mekhaï have exacerbated tensions within the Popular
00:45Front for the Liberation of the Tigray.
00:48The fears of a civil war are alive because the growing political division within the
00:53TPLF could destabilize the region, which has experienced a deadly war until 2022,
01:00writes the online newspaper.
01:02According to analysts, a change in leadership could temporarily ease internal conflicts,
01:08but many challenges remain to be met to ensure sustainable stability in the country.
01:14South Sudan is plunged into a sharp political crisis after the arrest of the first
01:21vice-president, Riek Machar, by the security forces on March 26, 2025.
01:26AFRICOM reports in its columns that this detention, called unconstitutional, threatens
01:34to destroy the fragile peace agreement signed in 2018 between Machar and President Salva
01:39Kir and revives fears of a return to civil war.
01:43The UN has expressed great concern, emphasizing that the country is on the brink of a
01:48generalized conflict that could have regional repercussions.
01:52The international community calls for restraint and dialogue to avoid a new escalation of
01:58violence in a country already marked by years of conflict and instability,
02:04notes the AFRICOM information site.
02:06And then in Zimbabwe, President Zimbabwean Emerson Ndangagwa appointed General
02:13Anselm Sanyatwe, chief of the army, as part of a series of purges aimed at strengthening
02:20his authority in the face of growing opposition.
02:23This is what we can read on African News.
02:26This decision comes as veterans of the war of independence call for
02:31demonstrations on March 31 to demand the resignation of Ndangagwa, who they accuse of
02:37aggravating the economic crisis and seeking to extend his mandate.
02:41Analysts say that these changes translate a fear of a coup d'état orchestrated by his
02:49allies, indicates the African information site.
02:53Gabon has recently created a new structure, the Autonomous Amortization Fund, to improve
03:00the management of its public debt.
03:02This initiative was announced at an economic symposium, bringing together various
03:07national and international actors, informing Africa on this.
03:11The fund will be tasked with defining the country's debt policy, researching and
03:16negotiating funding, but also ensuring the timely repayment of debts.
03:22Gabon, which uses loans to finance its development projects, seeks to strengthen
03:28its financial credibility and limit the risks of insolvency.
03:34Notes Africa on this.
03:36Let's finish with the Republic of Congo, which has announced an ambitious plan to double
03:42its electricity production capacity to 1,500 megawatts by 2030.
03:49The country will favor renewable energies, writes Apani Osudon Sikalon.
03:54This initiative aims to improve access to electricity for its 6 million citizens and
04:01to support industrial growth, according to Minister Emil Ouso.
04:05The country relies on international partnerships, notably with the World Bank
04:11and the Rockefeller Foundation, as part of the 300 mission, which aims to connect
04:17300 million Africans to electricity by 2030.
04:22Notes the source.
04:24Congo is also aiming at its considerable hydroelectric potential, estimated at 27,000
04:31megawatts, of which only 1% is currently in use, reads on the African press agency.
04:38And that's the end of this press review in Africa.
04:41Thank you for following it.
