00:00Let's start with the Quasi website, which informs that Nigerian President Bola Tinubu
00:18revealed the priorities of the CDAO for citizens of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger.
00:24During a meeting in Abuja, he highlighted the importance of food security and economic recovery in these countries.
00:33Bola Tinubu also presented a policy and security plan.
00:37Note the source of information.
00:39The CDAO aims to promote sustainable solutions to regional challenges.
00:44This plan is part of a desire to strengthen cooperation between Member States and improve the well-being of populations.
00:51In Burkina Faso, the country nationalized two gold mines, Bougnou and Wagnon, in an effort for economic sovereignty and to strengthen state control over its natural resources.
01:04This decision follows a judicial conflict between the mining companies Endeavor Mining and Lilium Mining, which led to about $90 million in purchase agreements.
01:18Authorities hope that this initiative will allow the country to benefit more from mining setbacks while maintaining exploitation with current jobs.
01:29This movement is part of a regional trend aimed at reaffirming control over North African natural resources.
01:36In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the head of state, Félix Echichédi, proposed a constitutional reform before Parliament.
01:43However, this proposal aroused accusations of a maneuver to extend his mandate, according to VOA Africa.
01:50Re-elected in December 2023 with more than 63% of the votes, he stressed the need to eliminate the constitutional flaws that hinder the functioning of the state.
02:01Although this proposal was accepted by the applause of its supporters, the opposition denounced its constitutional coup d'état and called for citizens' demonstrations, notes the online newspaper.
02:14In Mozambique, more than 100 people lost their lives in children during post-electoral demonstrations, which have been going on for almost two months.
02:22This is what Africa News tells us. These violences were exacerbated by the assassination of two figures from the October 18 opposition,
02:29prompting calls for protest against the fraudulent results of the October 9 elections.
02:35The opposition leader, Venantio Mondlane, has recently relaunched the demonstrations since the execution, demanding the truth on the ballot boxes.
02:44Security forces are accused of using brutal repression to dampen uprisings.
02:49The situation remains tense, with calls for international intervention to appease tensions, emphasizes Africa News.
02:57In Senegal, to finish.
02:59Dakar, La Capitale, hosted this week the third edition of the SALTIS, the International Salon of Algorithms, Technological Sciences and Innovation of Senegal.
03:09A salon focused on the use of artificial intelligence to promote innovation and sustainable development, informs L'Héralnet.
03:18This event brought together more than 30 start-up companies, researchers, investors and enthusiasts to discuss challenges and opportunities related to AI in the Senegalese economic context.
03:32Ndiaye Gha, the coordinator of the Salon, emphasized the importance of defining a mastered approach to integrate these technologies in the service of sustainable development.
03:41The Salon also aims to create an ecosystem conducive to exchanges on the impact of new technologies in Africa if we believe it.
