00:12Let's start with Nigeria.
00:14AFRICOM reports that over the past 25 years, the Nigerian government has recovered more than $5 billion dollars,
00:21illegally transferred abroad, according to Awal Moussa Rafsanjani of CISLAG.
00:29This initiative, supported by countries such as Switzerland and the United States,
00:34aims to repatriate funds stolen by corrupt leaders.
00:38These funds include liquid money, valuables and jewelry illegally transferred out of Nigerian borders, notes the online newspaper.
00:48Restitutions have often required years of negotiation and cooperation.
00:54The current government wants to put in place mechanisms to prevent such a detour in the future.
01:01Actu Cameroon tells us that a murderous attack by Boko Haram hit the village of Damang in northern Cameroon,
01:10killing at least 10 civilians, including three women.

01:26The humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate, reports our colleagues.
01:31And then in Chad, the authorities recently launched the repatriation of more than 500 foreign citizens to their home country,
01:40information from Beneweb TV.
