Amérique au Vatican : Robert Prevost devient Léon XIV, premier pape américain

Le cardinal Robert Prevost, 69 ans, originaire de Chicago, a été élu pape ce jeudi, devenant ainsi le premier Américain à accéder au trône de Saint Pierre. Il succède à François et a choisi le nom de Léon XIV.

Foreign Herders Behind Benue, Plateau Attacks – Nigerian Military Confirms, Calls for Border Reform

Nigerian Military Points to Foreign Herders in Farmer-Herder Violence The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has revealed that foreign herders exploiting Nigeria’s porous borders are responsible for escalating attacks on farming communities in Benue, Plateau, and neighboring states. Major General Markus Kangye, Director of Defence Media Operations, disclosed this during a press briefing, urging national collaboration to curb cross-border security threats. Key Findings from DHQ’s Security Briefing Foreign Perpetrators: Arrested attackers often differ in appearance, language, and origin. “Their hair and speech show they’re not Nigerians,” Kangye stated. ECOWAS Protocol Abuse: Benue Governor Hyacinth Alia blamed the ECOWAS free movement policy for enabling foreign herders’ incursions.

Le CPP défend Savi de Tové et assume une opposition institutionnelle

La Convergence patriotique panafricaine (CPP), formation politique dont est issu Jean-Lucien Savi de Tové, nouveau président de la République togolaise, est sortie de son silence pour répondre aux critiques visant son leader, parfois qualifié de « faux opposant ».
