From France to Belgium: a roundup of francophone media news
Five journalists from RTS, Radio Canada, Ici, RFI and RTBF present a roundup of news from francophone public broadcasters. Items include the Parti Québécois victory in recent provincial elections, which leaves it forming a minority government, and the retaking of Kidal by the Malian army and its Russian Africa Corps partners six months after they were driven out by the Tuareg rebellion and its allies in al-Qaeda-linked Jnim. The roundup also covers experts' conclusion that Switzerland is not prepared for a large-scale earthquake, and continuing student and teacher mobilisations in France and Belgium over education spending.
Why it matters: The recapture of Kidal by Malian forces alongside Russian Africa Corps personnel is a conflict and security development that bears on territorial control in the Sahel.
