 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.

Mark Burnett Appointed U.S. Special Envoy to the UK by President-Elect Donald Trump

In this capacity, Burnett will focus on strengthening US-UK relations, with an emphasis on trade, investment, and cultural exchange. Trump praised Burnett’s vast experience in television production, noting his international recognition and strategic business acumen, which he believes will contribute to advancing diplomatic ties between the two nations. Burnett, 64, who emigrated from the UK to the US in 1982, is best known for creating The Apprentice and producing shows like Survivor and Shark Tank, making him a prominent figure in reality TV.


Though Burnett has worked closely with Trump for years, especially as a key figure behind Trump's TV success, he has previously distanced himself from the controversial aspects of Trump's public life, particularly during the 2016 presidential campaign. Despite past criticisms and calls to release outtakes from The Apprentice that could have revealed inappropriate remarks made by Trump, Burnett maintained his professional distance, citing legal and contractual obligations. Burnett’s new role, which does not require Senate confirmation, follows his previous involvement with Trump’s inauguration planning in 2017 and underscores his ongoing influence in both entertainment and political circles.
