The autonomy plan “has been on the table since 2007. The call for the resumption of round tables between all parties would unsettle Algeria which has backtracked from the political process and vowed not to take part again. Morocco insists on the participation of Algiers in the UN political process in view of its key role in perpetuating the conflict through its Polisario proxies. Morocco welcomed the UN Security Council resolution which reiterated the serious and credible character of the autonomy plan. The resolution also echoes the concerns of the UN Secretary General who complained to the security council of Polisario’s obstacles to MINURSIO resupply missions.

The latest on Eskom financial results: Qualified audit figures for the year ending March 2023 show a worsening EAF sitting at 56%, a rise in municipal debt and declining generation capacity due to unplanned outages. The 280 days of loadshedding so far in 2023 reflect the deteriorating generation capacity availability, with the EAF worsening to 56.03% from 62.02% in 2022.

According to several sources within the mission, the United Nations mission in Mali is currently in the process of leaving its camp in Kidal, located in the north of the country. Kidal is a strategically important city and a major focal point in the ongoing battle between the central government and separatist armed groups who have resumed hostilities against it. “We began our departure from Kidal this Tuesday morning,” a mission official on the ground informed the AFP, specifying that the evacuation is being conducted via road. These armed groups, which had previously reached a ceasefire and peace agreement with the government in 2014 and 2015, have recently resumed hostilities in light of the announced departure of the UN mission, known as MINUSMA. The colonels who seized power by force in 2020 have made the restoration of sovereignty over the territory their guiding principle.

The two officials expressed their shared determination to promote security cooperation between the two countries and exchanged views on several issues, including the fight against terrorism, extremism, and illegal immigration. In light of the emergence of different forms of threats, Morocco and Germany are both convinced of the importance of proactive prevention to limit these crimes, the Moroccan Interior Ministry said in a press release. It is to be recalled that Moroccan security services have repeatedly helped their German counterparts to foil terror plots and arrest terrorists. Migration is also an important topic of cooperation, Germany and Morocco being countries not only of emigration but also of transit, Faeser said, stressing the need to reinforce legal migration to fight irregular migration. The German official also hailed the considerable efforts made by Moroccan authorities for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the earthquake-affected areas.

The number of internally displaced people within the Democratic Republic of Congo has reached a record 6.9 million due to escalating violence, the United Nations said Monday. The conflict between Mouvement du 23 Mars (M23) rebels and militias loyal to DR Congo’s government has intensified in the eastern province of North Kivu since early October, particularly north of the provincial capital Goma. The IOM said that as of October 2023, about 5.6 million IDPs were living in the eastern provinces of North Kivu, South Kivu, Ituri, and Tanganyika. In North Kivu up to one million people have been displaced due the ongoing conflict with the M23. The U.N.’s International Organization for Migration said many people who have fled their homes but stayed within the DRC’s borders desperately needed help to meet their basic needs.

The North Korean flag flutters at the North Korea consular office in Dandong, Liaoning province, China April 20, 2021. Both Angola and Uganda have forged friendly ties with North Korea since the 1970s, maintaining military cooperation and providing rare sources of foreign currency such as statue-building projects. Seoul's unification ministry, which handles inter-Korean affairs, said the pullout reflected the impact of international sanctions aimed at curbing funding for the North's nuclear and missile programs. "This can be a sign of North Korea's difficult economic situation, where it is difficult to maintain even minimal diplomatic relations with traditionally friendly countries." Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper reported last week, citing unnamed sources, that North Korea was planning to shut down at least 10 diplomatic missions, including a consulate in Hong Kong, largely because of economic difficulties.
