In Mali, the government announced on Monday evening that it would ban the activities of all non-governmental organizations financed or supported by France, including those operating in the humanitarian field.

The interim Prime Minister, Colonel Abdoulaye Maïga, justifies this decision, in a press release posted on social networks, by the recent announcement by France that it had suspended its official development aid to Mali.

Kenyan President William Ruto assured Monday in Kinshasa that the East African regional force being deployed in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) had a mandate to "impose peace" on recalcitrant armed groups.

Several local sources say that fighting resumed on Monday in the Tongo group, in the territory of Rutshuru... On the other hand, a precarious calm reigns on the southern front, in Kibumba, a locality located about twenty km from Goma, which has was the scene of clashes this weekend between the M23 rebels and the Congolese armed forces.

And in this newspaper we receive a living legend of Kabyle poetry and song, Lounis Aït Menguellet, who celebrated his 50-year career in 2017 at the Zénith de Paris.

He is back at the Accor Arena this Saturday, November 26.
