An officer was sentenced to death on Monday, three other soldiers to ten years in prison and two acquitted by the military courts which tried them for the repression of a demonstration which left more than fifty dead on August 30 in Goma, in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The lawyers of the convicts, who had pleaded for acquittal, announced their intention to appeal.
Also in the summary: in Tunisia, Chaïma Issa, human rights activist and opponent of President Kais Saied, was heard this Tuesday morning by the courts. She is being prosecuted by the military court on the basis of Decree Law 54, which officially aims to fight against cybercrime, but which is considered repressive by various NGOs.
Finally in Africa, more than 30% of food production is lost due to the invasion of insect pests and diseases. This situation threatens the food security of the continent. In Ghana, a team of engineers is using drones to identify diseases and pests on farms before they cause damage.
