00:00Welcome to the African Press Review, which we are opening with Ghana and Morocco.
00:16The two countries have signed an agreement for a mutual visa exemption for all categories of travelers,
00:22while waiting for the ratification of the Ghanaian parliament.
00:26It's written on Hapa News.
00:28This decision follows a meeting between Ghanaian officials and the Moroccan ambassador to Ghana,
00:34reiterating their desire to strengthen cooperation in key areas such as agriculture, tourism and security.
00:42By the way, note the source, the ambassador denied rumors of attacks against African immigrants in Morocco.
00:49Morocco has also increased the number of scholarships awarded to Ghanaian students,
00:55thus strengthening educational ties between the two countries, as stated in these columns by the African Press Agency.
01:03Togo has made spectacular progress in cybersecurity.
01:09The country achieved a score of 98.8 points in 2024,
01:15which places it among the African leaders in this field, reports Afrique sur 7.
01:21This progress is notable since the country had a score of only 33.19 points in 2020.
01:28Thanks to this increase, Togo is now positioned in the third place in the Global Security Index,
01:36alongside nations such as Canada and Switzerland.
01:40This progress is the result of a national strategy aimed at strengthening data protection
01:45and securing the essential digital space to protect against growing cyber threats.
01:53Africa Radio, for its part, speaks in its columns of the conflict between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.
02:00Angola has put an end to its role as a mediator in the conflict that opposes the two countries after the failure of the March talks.
02:09Angola, which has played a role as a mediator since 2022, now wishes to focus on its presidency of the African Union.
02:18This decision follows the failure of direct negotiations between the Congolese authorities and the armed group M23 that Angola had tried to organize.
02:28The African Union should appoint a new mediator, with the support of regional organizations,
02:33while the M23 continues to extend its influence in eastern Congo.
02:38It's still in Africa Radio.

02:55against criminal gangs in the Song forest.
02:59Three other members have disappeared, according to Zamfara's governor,
03:03who stressed that the operation also allowed the elimination of several bandits and the seizure of weapons.
03:09This attack came after an ambush in January in the neighboring state of Katina, where 21 members of the self-defense forces were killed.
03:19Zamfara's state continues to fight criminal acts perpetrated by these armed groups,
03:24which regularly attack villages and security forces, concludes FAPA Info.
