 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.

 Cameroon's Media Leader Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison 


Amadou Vamoulke, the former head of Cameroon Radio and Television (CRTV), has been sentenced to 20 years in prison by the Special Criminal Court in Yaoundé. Accused of embezzling 2 billion FCFA, a figure that was originally 16 billion FCFA, his case has sparked debate and concern.


Many believe the charges against Vamoulke are baseless. Human rights groups and legal experts argue that the accusations were fabricated. A thorough audit of CRTV's accounts showed that the funds in question were actually debts owed to the broadcaster. Barrister Akere Muna, who knows Vamoulke personally, described him as a man of integrity and transparency, known for his honest management at CRTV.

His imprisonment is viewed by many as a troubling reflection of Cameroon's political climate, where corruption is allegedly widespread. As Muna put it, "It's heartbreaking to see an innocent man suffer, while others flaunt their wealth gained through corruption."
