Sudanese Army claims to have regained control of Sinja – The North Africa Post
The Sudanese Army says it has regained control of Sinja, a key town to the south of the capital Khartoum. “Sinja has returned to the arms of the nation”: this is how the Sudanese government’s information minister announced the news. General Burhan went on Saturday to the city of Sennar, 60 km further north, to “celebrate” this liberation. The two cities, Sennar and Sinja, fell into the hands of the paramilitaries in June after a lightning offensive. This led to the flight of more than 700,000 Sudanese, according to the UN.

South African dissident writer and poet Breyten Breytenbach dies at 85
JOHANNESBURG, NOVEMBER 25: South African writer and poet Breyten Breytenbach, a staunch opponent of the former white-minority Government’s apartheid policy of racial oppression, has died in Paris, his family announced Sunday. Breytenbach is best known for Confessions of an Albino Terrorist, his account of his imprisonment and the events leading to it. His work addressed themes of exile, identity and justice, his family said. Breytenbach was a poet, novelist, painter and activist whose work touched on and influenced literature and the arts both domestically and abroad, his family added. He joined Okhela, an ideological wing of South Africa’s African National Congress, in exile, but remained deeply connected to his South African roots.

Where Was ‘Gladiator II’ Filmed?
“Gladiator II” is set in Ancient Rome and North Africa, but where was the Ridley Scott epic actually filmed? Like the first film, portions were shot in Morocco and Malta, while director Ridley Scott also filmed key scenes in his native England. Here’s where Rome, the Colosseum and the African kingdom of Numidia were created, some on locations used by Scott in previous films. The now long-gone North African kingdom was roughly where Algeria is today. This setting appears to be the final showdown as the Roman army marches to face opposing factions.

Prosper Africa Rolls Out Pharma Tracing Pilot in SA Under DTA Strategy
Prosper Africa, USAID’s e-Trade Alliance, IBM Consulting, and the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) are working together to develop Pulse by NABPT in South Africa. Despite market prospects, the distribution of pharmaceutical products in Africa involves substantial commercial hurdles, such as fragmented supply chains, inadequate infrastructure, and regulatory variances between countries. The launch of Pulse by NABP demonstrates the power of digital solutions in transforming the pharmaceutical supply chain,” said Riaz Osman, Managing Partner, Southern Africa & Africa Growth Markets, IBM Consulting. Furthermore, IBM will provide training on AI tools such as WatsonX.ai to help these pharmacies and retailers make data-driven decisions. This public-private partnership has the potential to stimulate both economic growth and health benefits, benefiting both American businesses and African consumers.

Analyst Predicts XRP Price Might Be Moving Toward A New ATH
However, one analyst believes that this is only the beginning and that the XRP price has the potential to hit a new ATH in the next several months. https://x.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1857141569746506223However, this could be only the beginning for the XRP price, as cryptographic asset analyst Mikybull told his followers on X that XRP has started moving toward a massive price increase. For now, XRP price sits at $1.10, but this is still far from its ATH which has been at $3.84 since the bull run of 2017/2018. Alternatively, if you are looking for a different high-potential investment, consider Pepe Unchained (PEPU) — the biggest meme coin hit of 2024. This will allow it to achieve near-instant transaction speeds, low costs, and high scalability — all the perks that Pepe (PEPE), being an ERC-20 token on Ethereum’s network, is lacking.
