 UNICEF warns about escalating crisis in eastern Congo, urges global action UNICEF has urged the international community not to remain indifferent to the worsening situation in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where fighting between government forces and the March 23 Movement (M23) rebel group continues to endanger millions. Spokesperson James Elder emphasized to Anadolu that the crisis will deepen unless addressed through political engagement and financial support. Elder, who recently spent one week in Goma, in the east of that country, described the region as facing a near “disaster” due to the Mpox virus outbreak combined with violence. “UNICEF and partners were rushing to support across the region to ensure it just did not spread further.

 Azerbaijan hosts conference on French neocolonialism in Africa


Azerbaijan is hosting a conference on ''French policy of neocolonialism in Africa'' with speakers strongly hitting out at Paris’ continued meddling in the affairs of its former colonies in Africa, TRT Afrika reported.


The event on Thursday comes as several African countries continue to witness a rise in calls for more sovereignty, particularly when it comes to relations with France and other Western powers.


Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali have ended military ties with the former colonial ruler in recent years.


The conference in the Azerbaijani capital, Baku, was organised by the Baku Initiative Group (BIG), a non-governmental organisation.


During the conference’s opening remarks, Abbas Abbasov, the group’s executive director, pointed out that France’s influence in Africa was beyond its former colonies and could “not be removed without major disruptions to the existing social order”.


Speakers called for more economic independence from France, notably on the CFA Franc, and regional security.


African governments were also encouraged to follow through on calls to renegotiate deals on exploration of natural resources by French firms to make them more beneficial to their economies.
