      <description>The first two months of 2026 saw a record number of migrant deaths in the Mediterranean, despite fewer crossing attempts towards Europe, according to data from the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
At least 655 people died or went missing in January and February - more than double the 287 recorded for the same period last year.
NGOs and researchers said the reasons were multiple: storms, complications for rescue operations and border closures.
Frontex, the EU’s border control...</description>

      <description>From a satellite ground station in Namibia to an Egyptian laboratory in orbit, China has been building the hi-tech backbone of Africa’s space ambitions.
Earlier this month, Beijing handed over a new satellite data ground station near Windhoek, Namibia – the latest in a growing network of space facilities across the continent built by China or with Chinese funding.
The China-funded ground station at Windhoek’s Telecom Earth Station enables Namibia to process remote-sensing data from satellites,...</description>

      <description>Hundreds of migrants may be missing at sea or feared dead following reports of multiple deadly shipwrecks in the central Mediterranean in recent days, the UN’s migration agency warned on Monday.
The International Organisation for Migration said it was “deeply concerned” by the reports, which it was currently verifying.
“Several boats are believed to have been involved over the past 10 days, with preliminary information suggesting that hundreds of people may be missing at sea or feared dead,” a...</description>

      <description>Some of the activists detained while trying to reach Gaza by sea have returned to their home countries to describe mistreatment at the hands of Israeli guards, claims that Israel denies.
Some 450 activists were arrested as Israeli forces intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla, a fleet of 42 boats seeking to break Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza and deliver a symbolic amount of aid to the famine-stricken territory.
Those detained between Wednesday and Friday were brought to Israel, where many...</description>

      <description>A court in Tunisia has sentenced a 51-year-old man to death over social media posts deemed offensive to President Kais Saied and a threat to state security, his lawyer said on Friday.
The defendant, identified as Saber Chouchane by human rights activists, was convicted on Wednesday of three charges: attempting to overthrow the state, insulting the president and spreading false information online.
Judges said the posts incited violence and chaos and violated Tunisia’s penal code as well as the...</description>

The facility, located at Mongi Slim University Hospital, just 18km (11 miles) from the capital Tunis, was opened on Friday and is a direct result of the two nations reaching a series of agreements on health cooperation during the February visit.
Chinese ambassador to Tunisia, Wan Li, said the...</description>

      <description>Organisers of a Gaza-bound flotilla carrying aid and pro-Palestinian activists said late Tuesday that another of their boats had been struck in a suspected drone attack off Tunisia’s coast.
Aiming to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza, the flotilla was due to resume its voyage on Wednesday after being delayed multiple times by weather and other issues.
“Second night, second drone attack,” Melanie Schweizer, one of its coordinators, said.
The British-flagged Alma was docked in Tunisian waters on...</description>

Tunisia’s interior ministry said that reports of a drone hitting a boat at its Sidi Bou Said port “have no basis in truth”, and that a fire broke out on the vessel itself.
The Portuguese-flagged boat, carrying the flotilla’s steering committee, sustained fire damage to its main deck and below-deck storage, the GSF said in a...</description>

This comes as Israel has stepped up its offensive on Gaza City, limiting the deliveries of food and basic supplies in the north of the Palestinian territory.
Food experts warned earlier this month that the city was in famine and that half a million people across the strip were facing...</description>

The bodies, some partially naked, were found on August 13 in the river in the southeastern suburb of Choisy-le-Roi.
A passenger on a passing train saw one body floating in the river and the others were found later.
The suspect was detained on Wednesday and placed in pre-trial detention, the...</description>

Analysts said the move shows that the mercurial American leader is using threats to jump-start negotiations.
Trump sent two-page letters to Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung saying the new...</description>

The packets of honey and gels, sold as “shots” or “sticks” with names like Black Horse or Bio Max, are often sold surreptitiously in clubs and other nightlife spots.

      <description>President Kai’s Saied won a landslide victory in Tunisia’s election Monday, keeping his grip on power after a first term in which opponents were imprisoned and the country’s institutions overhauled to give him more authority.
The North African country’s Independent High Authority for Elections said Saied received 90.7 per cent of the vote, a day after exit polls showed him with an insurmountable lead in the country known as the birthplace of the Arab spring more than a decade ago.

Three years after Saied staged a sweeping power grab, the election is seen as a closing chapter in Tunisia’s experiment with democracy. The North African country had prided itself for more than a decade for being the birthplace of the Arab Spring uprisings against authoritarianism.
