Somaliland eyes Ethiopia's recognition amid Somalia tensions – DW – 05

Once signed, the agreement would cement Ethiopia's recognition of Somaliland as an independent state — despite strong objections from Somalia's government. In return for landlocked Ethiopia's official recognition, Somaliland will lease out 20 kilometers (12 miles) of sea access for 50 years while also allowing Ethiopia to build a military base on its coast. "Somaliland has the right under international law to get international recognition.

Senegal’s new prime minister criticizes French military presence in the West African country
DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Senegal’s new prime minister, who was freed from jail weeks before the presidential election earlier this year and propelled his party to victory, has criticized the French military presence in the West African country. Sonko was speaking late Thursday at an event held jointly with the French far-left politician Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the capital, Dakar. “I want to reiterate Senegal’s desire for self-determination, which is incompatible with the long-term presence of foreign military bases in Senegal,” Sonko said. Following coups in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, all three nations have expelled French troops and turned to Russia instead for help fighting yearslong insurgencies there. The three nations also formed their own alliance of Sahel states, causing a split within the Economic Community of West African States, or ECOWAS.

Paris 2024: Are Kenenisa Bekele & Eliud Kipchoge set for final showdown?
One of the great athletics rivalries of all time will be renewed at Paris 2024 after Kenenisa Bekele was named in Ethiopia's marathon squad. However, his second-placed finish in the London Marathon last month means Bekele will come up against Kenyan great Eliud Kipchoge on 10 August. On that occasion Kipchoge took gold in the 5,000m, with Morocco's Hicham El Guerrouj in second place and Bekele taking bronze. Kipchoge has established himself as an all-time great since switching to marathon-running in 2013, winning 11 major races alongside his two Olympic gold medals. Now, 21 years on from their first battle in the French capital, this could be the final time Bekele and Kipchoge go head-to-head.

Senegalese prime minister criticizes French military bases on territory
“I feel much better here than in France,” the 32-year-old of North African descent told AFP. You can have a boss who’s Indian, Arab or a French person,” he said. The authors of “France, you love it but you leave it”, published last month, said it was difficult to estimate exactly how many. Another French Muslim, a 33-year-old tech employee of Moroccan descent, told AFP he and his pregnant wife were planning to emigrate to “a more peaceful society” in southeast Asia. Adam, the consultant, said more privileged French Muslims emigrating was just the “tiny visible part of the iceberg”.
