At least 33 soldiers were killed and 12 others wounded on Thursday (April 27th) in an attack by terrorist groups on a military post in Ougarou, eastern Burkina Faso. According to experts, the involvement of Egypt, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates could aggravate the situation and prolong the conflict in Sudan.
April 25 was World Malaria Day, a dreaded disease in Africa despite the arrival of vaccines. WHO's announcement of a new vaccine soon to be available to all raises a lot of hope.
