Congo's Tshisekedi calls national dialogue while excluding M23 rebels
Democratic Republic of Congo President Félix Tshisekedi has called for a national dialogue to ease tensions in the country while explicitly excluding M23 rebels from participation, as the government plans to suspend 11 public universities in rebel-controlled areas. The clip also reports that Ghana has experienced a mining disaster with 23 deaths, including 11 children, from falls into abandoned illegal gold-mining pits amid what France 24 describes as an unprecedented surge in illegal galamsey mining operations.
