A new report reveals more than 1,400 Africans have been recruited to fight for Russia in Ukraine since 2023.

The report, published this week, sheds light on the involvement of African nationals in the conflict. Tunisia appears to be a significant source of recruits, with many Tunisians being drawn into Russia's war efforts against Ukraine.

In other African developments, South Africa is pursuing its ambition to establish itself as the continent's digital hub. However, this initiative is encountering growing opposition in Cape Town, where residents express concerns about the rapid digital transformation.

On a more positive note, the arts festival in Abéché, Chad, has brought together young spectators through music, dance, and theater, showcasing the vibrant cultural scene in the region.
