Salah-Mane rivalry renewed in Afcon semi-finals
“Nobody, even in Egypt, wants to win this trophy more than me,” Salah said after helping his team beat Ivory Coast in the quarter-finals. And, for all his silverware with Liverpool and personal honours, the feeling persists among many across Africa that a player cannot be classed as truly great until they have an Afcon title to their name. That tie again went the distance after both sides won 1-0 on home soil, and penalties again settled it in Diamniadio. Salah now has a total of 11 goals at the Afcon finals – level with national coach Hossam Hassan and one behind Egypt’s record holder Hassan El-Shazly. “You can see him leading chance creation for Senegal at this Afcon, with a high involvement in build-up and key plays,” BBC Afrique journalist Babacar Faye said.

Trump administration moves to end deportation protection for Somalis
The Trump administration is ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali immigrants, making it easier to deport thousands of people from the US. Starting March 17, around 2,500 Somalis will lose their work authorisations and legal status, making them eligible for deportation. The Trump administration says the agent acted in self-defence but local officials insist the woman posed no danger. The Biden administration had renewed TPS for Somalia for the maximum 18 months allowed under the law, which are set to end in March. Over the last year, the Trump administration has moved to end TPS for immigrants from other countries previously deemed unsafe, including Venezuela, Haiti, Afghanistan, and Nepal.
