A Senegalese court has sentenced three TikTok influencers to prison and imposed fines after convicting them of insulting President Bassirou Diomaye Faye. Critics have condemned the ruling as an attack on free speech in the West African nation.

The three men worked for Feenal Digital, an online media platform that produces content widely viewed as supportive of former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, leader of the PASTEF party. Sonko recently parted ways with his former ally, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, who launched his own political party last month.

Lulu Gaboo spoke to Mamadou Thior, Senegalese Political Analyst and President of Cored.

Former DRC President Joseph Kabila has launched a new political-military coalition, reportedly intended to replace the AFC-M23 alliance fighting government forces in eastern Congo.

The group, known as the Front pour la Refondation de la Nation (FRN), will be led by Kabila, with rebel leaders Corneille Nangaa, Bertrand Bisimwa, Freddy Kaniki and Sultani Makenga serving as deputies.

Congolese authorities have repeatedly accused Kabila of supporting AFC-M23, which seized territory in eastern Congo during an offensive last year. Kabila has denied any involvement.
