 M23 says hundreds of Burundi soldiers captured in latest Congo offensive The Rwanda-backed M23 group has captured hundreds of Burundian soldiers during its latest offensive in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a rebel official said, as clashes continued despite a warning from the Trump administration. Last week M23 entered the strategic town of Uvira near the border with Burundi, less than a week after the presidents of Congo and Rwanda met in Washington with U.S. President Donald Trump and affirmed their commitment to a peace deal known as the Washington Accords.

Saudi Clubs Won’t Play In Champions League – UEFA President

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has dismissed reports that clubs from Saudi Arabia would be allowed to play in the Champions League.

“Only European clubs can participate in the Champions League, the Europa League or the Conference League,” the president of the European football ruling body told the L’Equipe newspaper.

This is coming ahead of the Champions League group stage draw on Thursday.

We had a similar situation with China, which bought players at the end of their careers and offered them a lot of money.

“The result was that Chinese football didn’t develop after that,” Ceferin recalled.

“As far as I know, (Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian) Mbappe and (Manchester City striker Erling) Haaland are not dreaming about Saudi Arabia,” he said.

Ceferin said that the approach used by Saudi Arabia “is not the right way” and that the Saudi league “should work on the education of players and coaches, but that’s not my problem.” .
