Senegal moving in the right direction.

Senegal’s ruling Pastef party has won a resounding victory in legislative elections, securing 130 of 165 seats in parliament, according to provisional results.

The win grants newly elected President Bassirou Diomaye Faye a clear mandate to carry out ambitious reforms promised during the campaign. They include fighting corruption, revamping the fishing industry and maximising natural resources benefits.

After the results were read out by the national vote-counting commission on Thursday, Pastef representative Amadou Ba told reporters the majority represented a vote of confidence that should encourage Senegal’s international backers.

“It is very important not only in terms of the legitimacy of the new authorities but also regarding our technical and financial partners that they know that there is a people standing behind this new government,” Ba said in comments aired on state television.

“I believe this will only accelerate the process of structural reforms in our economy and our society.”

The main opposition coalition, led by former President Macky Sall, won 16 seats. Sall congratulated Pastef in a post on X on election day, and two other major opposition leaders conceded defeat hours after the polls closed on Sunday.

Ousmane Sonko, Pastef’s highly charismatic prime minister, is considered the mastermind behind the legislative landslide.

Sonko came to power with Faye in March after a landslide victory. He said an opposition-led parliament hampered his government’s power in the first few months after the elections and decided to dissolve parliament on September 12 and call snap elections.

Faye and Sonko have promised to diversify political and economic partnerships, review hydrocarbon and fishing contracts, and re-establish Senegal’s sovereignty, which they said has been sold abroad.

Rwandan troops are literally attacking Goma, why are the authorities dragging their feet?

The Congolese parliament must immediately declare war on Rwanda and the Congolese government must immediately close the border with Rwanda and Uganda.

White people have the same relationship to black people that Israelis have to Palestinians. Calling Africans inferior but showing up to wherever Africans are and claiming its their s***. They can only behave in a purely parasitic social order just like the Israelis. Wallahi i wish the black plague or WW2 had wiped out all of Europe

What is the role of Japan in this?

That will probably be not smart since the Rwandan army is smaller but way better equipped

letting them occupy the country and topple the government would be less smart, actually

Japan extracts rare earth minerals from the Congo

The M23 rebels have resumed attacks on armed forces in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo after a two-day lull in fighting.

Rebel fighters struck at dawn on Tuesday near the village of Ihusi, located 40km (25 miles) from a strategic military airport in Kavumu and about 70km (43 miles) from Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu province.

The M23, which claims to protect ethnic Tutsis, started advancing on South Kivu after taking control of North Kivu’s Goma in a bloody raid that killed thousands last month, resuming hostilities despite calls from 24 regional leaders for an immediate ceasefire.

Bukavu has been preparing for an M23 offensive for several days, shuttering schools on Friday as residents began to flee and shops closed over fears of an imminent attack.

Al Jazeera’s Malcolm Webb, who was reporting from Nairobi in Kenya, said “anxious” residents of Bukavu were waiting to find out if “M23 and its Rwandan supporters” would succeed in advancing on the city.

Meanwhile, people fleeing a displacement camp located west of North Kivu’s capital, Goma, claimed an M23 colonel had entered the site on Sunday and ordered them to leave within three days.

The M23 released a statement on Monday denying those accusations, saying that people were voluntarily leaving the Bulengo camp, returning to what it called their “now-secured homes in liberated areas”.

Many people have been living for up to two years in the “swelling camp” and did not know if they had homes to which they could return, Webb added. “Most of them appear now to be packing up and beginning the journey. Some others have said they will wait and see if and when they are forced to leave,” he said...
