Also in the news, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Congolese journalist Stanis Bujakera will soon be free.

He was sentenced this Monday to 6 months in prison by the Kinshasa high court.

A sentence he has already served.

Correspondent for Jeune Afrique, he was accused of having “fabricated” a document incriminating Congolese military intelligence in the death of the opponent Chérubin Okende.

Finally, in Senegal, the presidential election is scheduled for this Sunday.

And as is customary, political posters flood the streets of the country's major cities.

During previous elections, candidates competed for each advertising billboard in Dakar.

But this year, other vectors of communication seem to have been favored.
