00:00 You are on Pan African Media.
00:07 Thank you for staying faithful.
00:08 Welcome to this round of African news.
00:11 Let's start with Niger.
00:13 The French ambassador to the country, Sylvain, was expelled by the military regime in power
00:19 since late August last year, leaving Niamé with six of his collaborators.
00:24 This expulsion follows the request of Nigerian authorities after the announcement of French President Emmanuel Macron.
00:31 This is what we can read in the columns of Africa News.
00:34 France maintains its refusal to recognize the legitimacy of the military in power
00:39 and claims that its interlocutor remains the overthrown president, Mohamed Bazoum.
00:43 This is what Africa News indicates in its columns.
00:46 In addition, the 1,500 French soldiers engaged in the anti-terrorist struggle
00:50 will leave Niger by the end of the year, in accordance with another request from the Nigerian regime,
00:56 specifies the online newspaper in its columns.
00:59 Now let's go to Chad.
01:04 The Chadian opposition, led by Max Kamkoye of the UDP,
01:08 is expressing deep concerns about the recent revision of the electoral file in the country,
01:14 although the authorities appreciate the process and the high number of new voters enrolled.
01:21 The opposition vigorously contexts this update, information relayed by Africa Press.
01:26 The National Election Commission has not yet published the final report,
01:30 but the presidency emphasizes the record high enrollment rate of voters,
01:34 including those whose country's provinces are the source of information.
01:38 Despite criticism from the opposition,
01:40 the CONOREC plans to maintain the calendar of the constitutional referendum,
01:45 scheduled to take effect on December 17, informs the media online.
01:50 And then the American government has decided to temporarily suspend
01:57 part of its foreign aid to Gabon, as Beneweb TV states.
02:02 This measure, announced by the US Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
02:07 follows the coup of August 30, which overthrew President Ali Bongo Undimba.
02:12 This diplomatic action is part of an international condemnation of the coup,
02:18 with many nations and organizations calling for the restoration of the constitutional order in Gabon,
02:24 informs Beneweb TV.
02:26 The impact of this suspension on bilateral relations and the political situation in Gabon
02:31 remains to be closely monitored, the online newspaper specifies.
02:36 And ending this round of news on the continent with this information,
02:41 elephant poaching in Africa is alarming,
02:44 with an average of 45 elephants killed daily,
02:48 according to a report from four international organizations.
02:51 Illegal traffic from Ivoire spreads mainly in Central and Eastern Africa,
02:57 mostly passing through West Africa.
02:59 85% of Ivoire is headed for China,
03:03 informs Lurida Info, whose column.
03:05 According to the online media, the key factors include poverty,
03:09 poor governance and the illegal demand for Ivoire.
03:12 Although poaching has slightly decreased in 2013,
03:15 it remains worrying, requiring a fight against corruption
03:20 and high-level complicity to protect these species.
03:23 And that's what Lurida Info concludes in its columns.
03:26 And that's the end of this round of news on the continent.
03:30 Thank you for following it.
03:31 Excellent follow-up of the programs on our antennas.
