Also, in Senegal, the Grand Magal of Touba, the annual pilgrimage of the Mouride Brotherhood, one of the country's key Islamic Sufi orders, is about to begin. For many, the pilgrimage is about more than just spiritual devotion; it's also a vibrant cultural expression, especially through clothing. As millions prepare to gather for the 131st Magal, our correspondents in Dakar explored this lesser-known aspect of the celebration. Take a look at Mouride fashion!
And Kenya is one step closer to reaching the quarter-finals of the African Nations Championship (CHAN) after a hard-fought 1–0 win over Morocco. The Harambee Stars are now on a 15-match unbeaten streak, and they will be looking to extend it against Zambia on Sunday. President William Ruto has upped the stakes, promising a 2.5 million shilling bonus (over 19,000 dollars) to each player if they win. Meanwhile, ticket sales for some matches in Nairobi have been suspended after chaotic scenes overshadowed Kenya's victory over Morocco on Sunday.

Also, it's been five years since the passing of a law aimed at improving transport for agricultural workers in Tunisia. Women, who make up almost 80 per cent of the workforce, say that conditions remain brutal. Farmers claim that employers continue to cram workers into unsafe trucks, turning already dangerous roads into deadly traps. The work itself is gruelling and poorly paid. Lilia Blaise and Hamdi Tlili now report on what has changed since the tragic road accident in 2019 that claimed 12 lives. Finally, Senegal celebrates Le Grand Magal, one of Africa's largest religious gatherings. Millions of faithful converge on Touba, in the central-western part of the country, in response to the call of Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba, founder of the Mouride Muslim brotherhood. Already listed as part of the national cultural heritage, the event hopes to join the UNESCO World Heritage List.
