 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.

Federal University Gusau (FUGUS) expels students for protesting against insecurity

The Federal University Gusau, Zamfara State, has expelled four students and reportedly restricted others from accessing its registration portal for protesting against insecurity two months ago.

PREMIUM TIMES gathered that 34 students were invited to face a disciplinary committee before they left for semester holiday for partaking in the protest.

Three of the students who were questioned said they had been handed letters of expulsion while others are waiting to receive their expulsion letters from the school’s management. Most of the indicted students are in 300 or 400 levels.

During the protest, some of the students said they were tired of being abducted by terrorists.

Zamfara, like several other states in the North-west, faces more than a decade long terrorist insurrection.

The terrorists locally referred to as bandits attack rural communities, travellers and educational institutions.

Many students have been abducted within the period.

Three of the students – Rejoice Guga, Georgina Bulus and Abdulsalam Onimisi, said they have collected their expulsion letters.

“For now, four of us have collected their expulsion letters from the management; other students are not back from semester holiday,” Ms Guga said.
