Political Storm: South Korea’s President Faces Impeachment Trial

The South Korean constitutional court has initiated impeachment proceedings against President Yoon Suk Yeol, marking a significant moment in the country's political landscape. The process began after members of parliament voted to impeach Yoon, citing concerns about his declaration of martial law and the resulting political unrest.

Mauritius Police Order Arrest of Former Central Bank Governor

Police in Mauritius have announced plans to arrest the country's former central bank governor, Harvesh Kumar Seegolam, as part of an ongoing investigation into an alleged conspiracy to defraud. The announcement was published in local newspapers, with authorities indicating that Seegolam would be taken into custody upon his return to the country. The development comes in the wake of Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam's recent parliamentary report, which leveled serious allegations against the previous government's financial practices.

West African leaders are convening in Nigeria's capital, Abuja, to address significant regional challenges, primarily the withdrawal of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger from the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas).
