> According to a statement from the General Staff of the Armed Forces, the Burkinabè National Armed Forces, supported by the Volunteers for the Defense of the Homeland militia, immediately repelled the assaults using a combination of ground units and air assets. The military command reported that the defensive operations inflicted a heavy defeat on the attackers, resulting in the neutralization of more than 400 terrorists.

> Belgium coach Rudi Garcia says he was not criticizing African soccer when describing “those teams” who lose their tactical shape following his side’s improbable comeback victory over Senegal at the World Cup.

> Garcia was interviewed on television moments after the game. He said: “We know those teams, they lose their tactical structure toward the end of the match.”

> He then added: “We also knew that at 2-0 (up) they would do everything to protect their goal, which in my opinion is a grave mistake. Remind me when we’re leading 2-0 not to do that.”

The document linked is the European Parliament Joint Motion for a Resolution (RC-B10-0318/2026), which was tabled on June 17, 2026, and officially adopted the following day.

The resolution was the direct catalyst that triggered the final, complete rupture of diplomatic ties between Burkina Faso and France.

Although relations had been steadily collapsing for years, the events surrounding the June 18, 2026, resolution rapidly accelerated the final break, which occurred on June 26, 2026.

> HOUSTON (AP) — Cape Verde completed an improbable run through the group stage with a third straight World Cup draw to become the smallest country to earn a spot in the knockout round following a 0-0 draw against Saudi Arabia on Friday night.

> On June 22, 2025, fiber-optic first-person-view drones operated by the Azawad Liberation Front (FLA), a Tuareg rebel group, slammed into a convoy of Russian Africa Corps and Malian armed forces vehicles in northern Mali. Footage shows the drones striking two trucks, then cuts to fighters posing beside the wreckage. The significance was unmistakable: a little over a year after fiber-optic drones first appeared in Ukraine, a rebel group with scant resources had deployed the cutting-edge technology to humiliate two comparatively superior state actors.

> A decade earlier, the use of armed drones in African airspace looked very different. In 2011, the United States conducted the first drone strike on the continent, targeting senior leaders of the Somali Islamist group al-Shabab. At the time, Washington held a near monopoly in drone capability: only the world’s most advanced militaries had the access and technical expertise to employ the $20 million Predator drone used in the attack. That monopoly has since collapsed. Over the past decade, at least 37 African militaries have acquired drones of varying sophistication and cost.

> Burkina Faso now requires all students seeking higher education abroad to obtain prior authorization from the Ministry of Higher Education.

> The government says this measure is to align overseas academic training with national development priorities and improve labor market reintegration.

> The new policy adds an administrative layer for thousands of students, particularly those heading to popular destinations like France.

> It follows other reforms like a mandatory 'patriotic immersion' program for new university students and the suspension of a major student union.

In this video, Dr. Shanté argues that literacy, defined not as formal education, but as the ability to understand nuance, subtext, and complex ideas, is becoming a significant class divide in society.

> Consultant for the German public television channel ARD, former midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger described the Ivorians' game as "orthodox", "unpredictable" and above all "a little wild".

> On paper, Bastian Schweinsteiger was right. The 2014 world champion had predicted, speaking to the German public television channel ARD, a very close match against Ivory Coast, just before the Mannschaft's narrow victory (2-1).

> The manner and the words chosen, however, are completely unacceptable. The former German midfielder, an ARD pundit throughout the World Cup, is at the center of a heated controversy after his racist remarks about the Elephants (Ivory Coast national team). Before the match, Bastian Schweinsteiger had described the Ivorian team's style of play as "African football," "sometimes a bit atypical, a bit wild, not quite as tactical."

> The written notification, formally received by the court’s authorities on June 18, will only take effect on June 18, 2027, thus respecting the regulatory one-year deadline imposed by the founding texts.

> This move aligns directly with the common strategy defined nine months ago by the AES bloc, which includes Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso. The three transitional regimes had unanimously condemned the international jurisdiction, labeling it a tool of neocolonial repression, disconnected from the realities and sovereignty of African nations.

> THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Niger has formally left the International Criminal Court, accusing the judicial body in The Hague of selective justice.

> The west African country submitted a letter to the United Nations on Monday, triggering the withdrawal process from the court’s foundational treaty, the Rome Statute.

> “While the court had raised great hopes among peoples who cherish peace and justice, it has been misused and exploited,” the letter said.

> In late 2024, serious allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse were reported by Sudanese refugee women against Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff in eastern Chad. In response, MSF immediately sent multiple investigation teams to proactively detect and investigate cases.

> Over several months, the investigations identified 59 allegations of misconduct, including sexual harassment, exploitation, and abuse and involving different employment categories, including contracted staff, daily workers, external contractors, and suppliers.
