      • "description": "More jihadist attacks were reported over the weekend, said to have led to dozens of casualties.",
      • "content": "At least 130 civilians were killed by Burkina Faso government forces and allied militia in March near the western town of Solenzo, Human Rights Watch (HRW) says in a new report. It says the \"massacre\", following an operation led by Burkinabè special forces, resulted in widespread civilian deaths and displacement of ethnic Fulanis. The Fulani are a pastoralist, largely Muslim community who the government has often accused of backing Islamist militants - an allegation denied by community leaders. About 40% of Burkina Faso is under the control of groups linked to al-Qaeda and Islamic State operating in West Africa's Sahel region. The attacks, in which thousands of people have been killed and millions displaced, have continued despite promises by the country's military leaders to deal with the insurgency. Ahead of the release of the HRW findings on Monday, there were reports of more militant attacks over the weekend with dozens of military and civilian casualties. The BBC has not been able to confirm these reports and the authorities do not routinely comment on reported jihadist attacks. The BBC has approached the Burkina Faso govt for comment on the HRW report. The rights group says it interviewed witnesses, militia members, journalists and the civil society and analysed videos shared on social media to make the findings regarding the army's involvement in the March killings. HRW previously said the army was \"implicated\" in the killings, based on videos that were being shared online showing dozens of dead and injured people, although the findings were not definitive. It now says further research has \"uncovered that Burkina Faso's military was responsible for these mass killings of Fulani civilians\". It adds that least 100 more civilians were killed last month in reprisal attacks by jihadist groups against those seen as helping the military. \"Mass killings of civilians by government security forces, militias, and Islamist armed groups amount to war crimes and other possible atrocity crimes,\" it says. The rights group has urged the government to investigate and prosecute all those responsible for the crimes. This came as junta leader Capt Ibrahim Traoré returned from Moscow after a Friday meeting with Vladimir Putin on cooperation and security in the Sahel. Since the military seized power, Burkina Faso has turned away from colonial power France and towards Russia for help in tacking the Islamist insurgency.

      • "content": "South Africa became the final nation to qualify for the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) with a 2-0 victory over Malawi on Sunday. Goals from Victor Letsoalo and captain Neo Maema in Pretoria proved enough for the hosts to turn around a 1-0 deficit from the first leg of the tie. Letsoalo gave South Africa the lead in the 12th minute with a close-range shot after a goalmouth scramble and, after wasting several chances to increase their second-leg advantage, Maema side-footed home following another melee in the 87th minute. Algeria beat The Gambia 3-0 on Friday to progress by the same scoreline over the two legs. Both qualifiers will be in Group C alongside co-hosts Uganda, Niger and Guinea. The 19-team tournament, which is for domestic-based players on the continent, was due to be held in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda in February. However, the finals were postponed just 18 days before the opening game and rescheduled to be played from 2-30 August. Group A: Kenya (co-hosts}, Morocco, Angola, DR Congo, Zambia Group B: Tanzania (co-hosts), Madagascar, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic Group C: Uganda (co-hosts), Niger, Guinea, Algeria, South Africa Group D: Senegal, Equatorial Guinea*, Sudan, Nigeria *Equatorial Guinea replaced Congo-Brazzaville after the latter fielded an ineligible player in qualifying",

Los surcoreanos acudirán a las urnas el 3 de junio para elegir al sucesor del ex presidente Yoon Suk-yeol, depuesto hace poco más de un mes tras intentar imponer la ley marcial en diciembre de 2024.",
      • "content": "Los seis candidatos oficialmente inscritos en las elecciones presidenciales de Corea del Sur comenzaron a hacer campaña el lunes 12 de mayo. Lee Jae-myung, líder de la oposición y candidato presidencial, marcó el inicio de esta campaña, informa nuestro corresponsal en Seúl, Célio Fioretti. Con casi el 45% de las intenciones de voto, Lee Jae-myung es el claro favorito en las encuestas. El candidato demócrata, que quedó segundo en las últimas elecciones presidenciales, se ve ya como el 14o Presidente de la República de Corea, a pesar de que sigue siendo juzgado por varios escándalos de favoritismo durante su mandato como alcalde. Cientos de sus partidarios se congregaron el lunes en el centro de Seúl. El hombre que perdió por un estrecho margen las elecciones presidenciales de 2022 frente a Yoon Suk-yeol, que se presentaba por el Partido del Poder Popular, dio las gracias a sus seguidores que le habían \"ayudado a reconstruirse tras esta dolorosa derrota. Prometo devolverles su apoyo con la victoria\", dijo a la enfervorizada multitud. Kim Moon-soo, candidato conservador, fiel al ex presidente Frente a él, Kim Moon-soo, ministro de Trabajo saliente, cuenta con cerca del 29% de las intenciones de voto. El candidato conservador comenzó su campaña oficial en un mercado local de Seúl. “Creo sinceramente que debo convertirme en un presidente para el pueblo: un presidente para el poder adquisitivo, un presidente para la economía”, dijo a los periodistas presentes. Fiel seguidor de Yoon Suk-yeol, su retórica de extrema derecha motiva a los más conservadores, que desean continuar con una política similar a la del depuesto ex presidente. Es una figura divisiva, incluso dentro de su propio partido, que estuvo a punto de implosionar este fin de semana en vísperas de la campaña. Los dos candidatos tienen tres semanas para convencer a los surcoreanos.",

      • "content": "Le secteur pétrolier représente un pilier stratégique de l’économie africaine. Dans plusieurs régions du continent, notamment en Afrique centrale et occidentale, l’industrie pétrolière reste l’un des principaux moteurs de croissance, d’exportation et de développement des infrastructures. Pour tirer pleinement parti de ce potentiel, la formation professionnelle joue un rôle clé dans la structuration d’une main-d’œuvre locale qualifiée, sécurisée et compétitive.Alors que les projets d’exploration et de production se multiplient, les besoins en compétences ne cessent de croître. Cet article fait le point sur les enjeux liés à la formation dans le secteur pétrolier en Afrique, les types de compétences requises, les parcours possibles, et les perspectives qu’offre cette filière d’avenir.Un secteur stratégique en mutationUne place centrale dans l’économie africaineL’Afrique abrite certaines des plus importantes réserves pétrolières du monde. Des pays comme le Nigeria, l’Angola, la Libye, l’Algérie ou encore le Congo sont aujourd’hui des acteurs incontournables sur le marché international. En parallèle, des pays comme la Côte d’Ivoire, le Sénégal ou la Mauritanie renforcent progressivement leur présence dans le domaine.Le développement de ces gisements entraîne la création massive d’emplois directs et indirects, dans des domaines variés : exploration, forage, transport, raffinage, sécurité, maintenance, logistique...Des exigences croissantes en matière de compétencesSi les opportunités sont nombreuses, elles sont aussi de plus en plus encadrées. L’évolution des standards internationaux, la transition énergétique, l’automatisation des équipements, et les obligations en matière de sécurité imposent aujourd’hui des profils hautement qualifiés.Les entreprises opérant dans ce secteur, qu’elles soient nationales ou internationales, cherchent à recruter des professionnels capables de respecter des protocoles stricts, de manier des technologies avancées, et de s’adapter à des environnements parfois extrêmes.Quels métiers dans le secteur pétrolier ?Profils techniques et opérateurs de terrainOpérateur de forageTechnicien de maintenance industrielleMécanicien hydrauliqueSoudeur haute pressionConducteur d’engins pétroliersCes postes nécessitent une formation pratique, centrée sur la sécurité, la mécanique, et la gestion des risques.Métiers d’analyse et d’ingénierieGéologueGéophysicienIngénieur forageIngénieur de productionSuperviseur de raffinerieLes formations associées sont souvent longues, mais elles permettent d’accéder à des postes à haute responsabilité.Fonctions transversalesAgent HSE (Hygiène, Sécurité, Environnement)Logisticien pétrolierManager de site industrielResponsable qualitéCes métiers sont souvent accessibles après une double compétence technique et managériale, très recherchée dans les grands projets.Les formations indispensables pour travailler dans le pétroleFormations techniques et industriellesLes métiers du pétrole exigent une solide base technique, souvent acquise à travers des cursus spécialisés, voire des certifications reconnues.Formation CACES engins de chantier : indispensable pour les conducteurs d’engins dans les zones d’exploitation.Électricité industrielle et automatismes : pour les interventions sur site, les équipements sous pression, les pompes, ou les systèmes de contrôle.Soudure et tuyauterie : un des savoir-faire les plus demandés, notamment pour les soudeurs certifiés ASME ou ISO.Maintenance préventive et curative : essentielle pour la sécurité et la productivité des installations.Formations en sécurité et environnementLe travail dans le pétrole est soumis à des normes de sécurité extrêmement strictes, notamment en Afrique où les conditions peuvent être variables.Formation H2S (hydrogène sulfuré) : obligatoire dans de nombreuses zones à risque.ATEX (atmosphères explosives) : certification exigée pour intervenir dans certaines zones industrielles sensibles.Secourisme industriel : adaptation des gestes de premier secours à des contextes pétroliers.Formations réglementaires et managérialesPour évoluer vers des postes de supervision ou de direction, une formation en management de projet, en normes QHSE, ou en droit pétrolier international est fortement recommandée.Quelle réalité de la formation en Afrique ?Défis structurels et enjeux locauxDans de nombreuses régions, l’offre de formation spécialisée reste limitée face à la demande. Certaines zones manquent d’équipements adaptés, de formateurs qualifiés, ou de programmes reconnus à l’international. Cela pousse de plus en plus d’acteurs à investir dans des partenariats avec des centres de formation professionnelle qualifiés, à la fois pour former rapidement et localement.L’objectif est double :Renforcer la main-d’œuvre nationale, afin de réduire la dépendance aux expatriés.Garantir des compétences adaptées aux réalités du terrain africain (conditions climatiques, logistique, infrastructures...).Une demande croissante de formations certifiantesLes grandes compagnies pétrolières exigent aujourd’hui des attestations de compétences spécifiques, reconnues par les normes internationales (ISO, API, OHSAS, etc.). Des certifications comme le BOSIET (Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training) ou les formations HSE Oil & Gas deviennent des prérequis à l’embauche.Une formation, et après ?Forte employabilitéLes candidats disposant d’une formation solide et adaptée au secteur pétrolier trouvent souvent un emploi rapidement, que ce soit dans leur pays d’origine ou ailleurs sur le continent.Les besoins sont tels que les postes sont disponibles dans de multiples spécialités, souvent avec des conditions attractives en termes de rémunération, logement, transport ou avantages sociaux.Mobilité et évolutivitéUn profil bien formé dans le secteur pétrolier peut rapidement évoluer :vers des postes à responsabilitévers des missions à l’internationalou vers des secteurs connexes comme le gaz, les énergies renouvelables ou la logistique industrielleVers une professionnalisation durableFormer les futurs travailleurs du secteur pétrolier africain ne relève plus du simple apprentissage technique. Il s’agit aujourd’hui de construire une main-d’œuvre stable, durable et compétente, capable de s’adapter à un monde énergétique en mutation.La montée en compétences locales est aussi un levier de souveraineté économique, permettant aux États africains d’assurer eux-mêmes la conduite de leurs projets stratégiques, tout en favorisant l’emploi national.Pour en savoir plus sur les métiers et les formations liées à ce secteur, une lecture utile est l’article « Travailler dans les secteurs miniers et pétroliers en Afrique centrale », qui approfondit les synergies entre formation, emploi et développement.Le pétrole continuera de jouer un rôle majeur dans l’économie africaine dans les années à venir. Pour tirer pleinement parti de cette ressource, il est essentiel de miser sur la formation professionnelle et technique des femmes et des hommes appelés à bâtir cette industrie.En développant des parcours de formation adaptés, certifiants, et connectés aux réalités du terrain, l’Afrique peut transformer cette richesse en moteur d’emploi et d’innovation.Vous souhaitez former vos équipes à la formation pour le travail dans le secteur pétrolier en Afrique ?

      • "description": "Capt Ibrahim Traoré, 37, is portraying himself as a champion of pan-Africanism.",
      • "content": "A charismatic 37-year-old, Burkina Faso's military ruler Capt Ibrahim Traoré has skilfully built the persona of a pan-Africanist leader determined to free his nation from what he regards as the clutches of Western imperialism and neo-colonialism. His message has resonated across Africa and beyond, with his admirers seeing him as following in the footsteps of African heroes like Burkina Faso's very own Thomas Sankara - a Marxist revolutionary who is sometimes referred to as \"Africa's Che Guevara\". \"Traoré's impact is huge. I have even heard politicians and authors in countries like Kenya [in East Africa] say: 'This is it. He is the man',\" Beverly Ochieng, a senior researcher at global consultancy firm Control Risks, told the BBC. \"His messages reflect the age we are living in, when many Africans are questioning the relationship with the West, and why there is still so much poverty in such a resource-rich continent,\" she said. After seizing power in a coup in 2022, Traoré's regime ditched former colonial power France in favour of a strong alliance with Russia, that has included the deployment of a Russian paramilitary brigade, and adopted left-wing economic policies. This included setting up a state-owned mining company, requiring foreign firms to give it a 15% stake in their local operations and to transfer skills to Burkinabé people. The rule also applied to Russian miner Nordgold , which was given a licence in late April for its latest investment in Burkina Faso's gold industry. As part of what Traoré calls a \"revolution\" to ensure Burkina Faso benefits from its mineral wealth, the junta is also building a gold refinery and establishing national gold reserves for the first time in the nation's history. However, Western-owned firms appear to be facing a tough time, with Australia-headquartered Sarama Resources launching arbitration proceedings against Burkina Faso in late 2024 following the withdrawal of an exploration licence . The junta has also nationalised two gold mines previously owned by a London-listed firm, and said last month that it planned to take control of more foreign-owned mines. Enoch Randy Aikins, a researcher at South Africa's Institute for Security Studies, told the BBC that Traoré's radical reforms had increased his popularity in Africa. \"He is now arguably Africa's most popular, if not favourite, president,\" Mr Aikins said. His popularity has been fuelled through social media, including many misleading posts intended to bolster his revolutionary image. AI-generated videos of music stars like R Kelly, Rihanna, Justin Bieber and Beyoncé are seen immortalising him through song - though they have done nothing of the sort. Ms Ochieng said that Traoré first caught the attention of Africans when he spoke at the Russia-Africa summit in 2023, telling African leaders to \"stop behaving like puppets who dance every time the imperialists pull the strings\". This speech was heavily publicised by Russian media, which has become a major player in promoting Traoré's pan-Africanist image. Thanks to his rhetoric and pushed by a slick social media campaign, his appeal has spread around the world, including among African-Americans and Black Britons, Ms Ochieng noted. \"Everyone who has experienced racism, colonialism and slavery can relate to his messages,\" Ms Ochieng said, pointing out that African-American rapper Meek Mill had posted about him on X late last year, saying how much he liked his \"energy and heart\" - though he was ridiculed for mixing up names by referring to Traoré as Burkina Faso and later deleted the post. But France's president is not a fan, describing Traoré as part of a \"baroque alliance between self-proclaimed pan-Africans and neo-imperialists\". Emmanuel Macron was also referring to Russia and China whom he accused, in a 2023 speech , of provoking coups in Africa's former French colonies, and hypocritically stirring up old arguments over sovereignty and colonial exploitation. Traoré's popularity comes despite the fact that he has failed to fulfil his pledge to quell a 10-year Islamist insurgency that has fuelled ethnic divisions and has now spread to once-peaceful neighbours like Benin. His junta has also cracked down on dissent, including the opposition, media and civil society groups and punished critics, among them medics and magistrates, by sending them to the front-lines of the war against the jihadists . For Rinaldo Depagne, the Africa deputy director of the International Crisis Group think-tank, Traoré commands such support because \"he is young in a country with a young population\" - the median age is 17.7 years . \"He is media-savvy, and uses the past to build his popularity as a reincarnation of Sankara,\" he told the BBC. \"And he knows the art of politics - how to make a nation completely traumatised by war feel there is a better future. He is really good at that game.\" Sankara rose to power in a coup in 1983 at the age of 33, rallied the nation under the motto \"Fatherland or death, we will win!\", and was killed four years later in another coup that put Burkina Faso back in France's political orbit until Traoré's seizure of power. Ghanaian security analyst Prof Kwesi Aning, who previously worked at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre, said the popularity of the military leader reflected a political shift taking place on the continent, especially in West Africa. A 2024 survey in 39 countries by Afrobarometer showed a drop in support for democracy , although it remained the most popular form of government. \"Democracy has failed to give hope to the youth. It has not delivered jobs or better education and health,\" Prof Aning told the BBC. He said Traoré was \"offering an alternative, and re-capturing the spirit of two historic epochs\": It was Traoré who stole the show at the inauguration of Ghana's President John Mahama in January, when he arrived wearing battle fatigues with a pistol in his holster. \"There were already 21 heads of state there, but when Traoré walked in, the place lit up. Even my president's bodyguards were running after him,\" Prof Aning said. Traoré offered a sharply contrasting image to some of the continent's other leaders, who struggled to walk but clung to power by rigging elections, he said. \"Traoré is stylish and confident, with a very open face and a small smile. He is also a powerful orator, and presents himself as a man of the people.\" In a sign that his Russian-allied junta has made some progress on the economic front, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank have given a generally upbeat assessment. In a statement in early April , the IMF said that despite a \"challenging humanitarian and security\" environment, the economy was expected to remain \"robust\" in 2025, and the regime had made \"commendable progress\" in raising domestic revenue, containing the public wage bill, and increasing spending on education, health and social protection. As for the World Bank, it said that inflation had surged from 0.7% in 2023 to 4.2% in 2024, but the extreme poverty rate, which refers to people living on less than $2.15 [£1.61] a day, had fallen by almost two percentage points to 24.9% because of \"robust growth\" in the agriculture and services sectors. Despite these reports from US-based financial institutions, relations with both France and America have been frosty. A recent example being the claim by the head of the US Africa Command, Gen Michael Langley, that Traoré was using Burkina Faso's gold reserves for his junta's protection rather than the nation's benefit . This appeared to be a reference to the long-standing view of the US, and some of its African allies, that Russian forces were propping up Traoré in exchange for a stake in Burkina Faso's gold industry - undermining the military ruler's image as a leader who expelled French troops in 2023 to reclaim the country's sovereignty. Gen Langley's comments, made in early April during a US Senate committee hearing, triggered an uproar among the captain's supporters, who felt their hero was being smeared. This was further inflamed when shortly afterwards, the Burkinabé junta said it had foiled a coup plot , alleging the plotters were based in neighbouring Ivory Coast - where Gen Langley then made a visit. Ivory Coast denied being involved in any plot, while the US Africa Command said Gen Langley's visit had focused on addressing \"common security challenges \" - including \"violent extremism\". But the junta took the opportunity to organise one of its biggest rallies in Burkina Faso's capital over fears that \"imperialists\" and their \"lackeys\" were trying to depose the captain. \"Because Colin Powell lied, Iraq was destroyed. Barack Obama lied, Gaddafi was killed. But this time, their lies won't affect us,\" one protester, musician Ocibi Johann, told the Associated Press news agency. Rallies in solidarity with Traoré were also held abroad, including in London, on the same day. He took to social media afterwards, posting in French and English , to express his gratitude to them for sharing his vision \"for a new Burkina Faso and a new Africa\", adding: \"Together, in solidarity, we will defeat imperialism and neo-colonialism for a free, dignified and sovereign Africa.\" It is impossible to say how things will end for the young captain, but he - along with military leaders in Mali and Niger - have certainly shaken up West Africa, and other states have followed their example by ordering French forces to leave. The three military-ruled neighbours have also pulled out of the regional trade and security grouping Ecowas, formed their own alliance, and have ended free trade in the region by announcing the imposition of a 0.5% tariff on goods coming into their countries. Mr Aikins said Traoré could learn from others, pointing out that when Rawlings took power in Ghana at the age of 32, he was known as \"Junior Jesus\" but after 19 years he left a mixed legacy - he had been unable to stem corruption despite helping to create an \"enduring\" democracy. For a \"lasting legacy\", Mr Aikins said, Traoré should focus on achieving peace and building strong state institutions to bring about good governance rather than \"personalising\" power and cracking down on dissent.

      • "content": "Koyo Kouoh, one of the art world's leading figures and a fierce advocate of African creatives, has died aged 57. A Cameroon-born curator, Kouoh had been at the height of her career. She was due to become the first African woman to lead next year's Venice Biennale, one of the world's most prestigious contemporary art events, and led one of Africa's largest contemporary art museums. The cause of Kouoh's unexpected death has not yet been made public. The curator passed away in Switzerland, according to reports. South African artist Candice Breitz described Kouoh as \"magnificently intelligent, endlessly energetic and formidably elegant\". Otobong Nkanga, a Nigerian visual artist, called the late curator a source of warmth, generosity and brilliance\". Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni also spoke of Kouoh's impact, saying her passing \"leaves a void in the world of contemporary art\". Kouoh's colourful life began in 1967, when she was born in Cameroon, a Central African country with a rich artistic heritage. She grew up in the country's largest city, Douala, before moving to Switzerland aged 13. There, she studied business administration and banking but, in a pivotal moment, chose not to pursue finance as a career. \"I am fundamentally uninterested in profit,\" she explained in a 2023 interview with the New York Times. Rather than building on her degree, Kouoh assisted migrant women as a social worker and began to immerse herself in the world of art. She gave birth to her son in Switzerland during the 90s, an experience she described as \"profoundly transformative\" . She would go on to adopt three other children. Fed up with life in the Swiss city of Zurich, Kouoh returned to Africa in 1996. She worked as a curator in Senegalese capital city Dakar, before founding Raw Material Company, an expansive, independent art hub. Just last week, and six years into her role as the director of South Africa's Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, Kouoh reflected on her love for Dakar. \"Dakar made me who I am today,\" she told the Financial Times . \"It's the place I came of age professionally, where I really became a curator and an exhibition-maker... I'm in Cape Town now but, mentally, I live in Dakar. It's the one and only place for me.\" When Kouoh took the top job at Zeitz, Africa's biggest contemporary art museum, the institution was in crisis. Founding director Mark Coetzee had been suspended in 2018 following allegations of staff harrasment and later resigned. Kouoh has been widely credited with turning Zeitz's fortunes around, leading it through the scandal, as well as the Covid pandemic. \"For me, it became a duty to salvage this institution,\" she told The Art World: What If...?! podcast. \"I was convinced that the failure of Zeitz, if it had failed would've been the failure of all of us African art professionals in the field, somehow indirectly.\" As Zeitz's director and curator, Kouoh oversaw a number of acclaimed exhibitions, including When We See Us: A Century of Black Figuration in Painting. The show, which brings together works by black artists from the last century, is currently on display in Brussels. In a statement announcing Kouoh's \"sudden\" death, Zeitz expressed its \"profound sorrow\" and said that, out of respect, the museum would be closed \"until further notice\". In her Financial Times interview last week, Kouoh challenged the idea that death would bring an end to her endeavours. \"I do believe in life after death, because I come from an ancestral black education where we believe in parallel lives and realities,\" she said. \"There is no 'after death', 'before death' or 'during life'. It doesn't matter that much. I believe in energies - living or dead - and in cosmic strength.\" Go to BBCAfrica.com for more news from the African continent.
