This is the most alarming story I've worked on in a while. The French billionaire Vincent Bollore, described as "the French Rupert Murdoch", is trying to bring Africa's biggest broadcaster - MultiChoice, that's DStv, ShowMax and SuperSport - into his "right wing media empire".

If you’re trying to understand what’s happening in Goma, I highly recommend this week’s issue of @thecontinent_ . It’s free to access via WhatsApp and it’s the most comprehensive weekly newspaper on matters Africa.

Welcome to Issue 178 of The Continent.

In this week's issue: Cameroon’s Schrödinger's president. The people who jump off Joburg skyscrapers. And the slow death of the West (but you knew that already, didn’t you?).

In February, somewhere in northwestern Ethiopia, 30+ civilians were killed in a drone strike. But amid official denials, it was impossible to pinpoint where. @thecontinent_ has geolocated the location of the massacre in Ethiopia.

Here's the story 👉 https://t.co/zBgoKXtFQ3

On the back of the #StopGalamseyNow and #FreeTheCitizens protests, I contributed on a story in @thecontinent_ reminding that Akufo-Addo is as culpable for the galamsey ecocide as the people dumping mercury in our rivers.
