🔅🇨🇦Pope Francis began a historic visit to Canada on Sunday to apologize to Indigenous peoples for abuses by missionaries at residential schools. It was a key step in the Catholic Church's efforts to reconcile with Native communities and help them heal from generations of trauma.
Francis kissed the hand of a residential school survivor as he was greeted at the Edmonton, Alberta, airport by Indigenous representatives, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Mary Simon, an Inuk who is Canada's first Indigenous governor-general.
The gesture set the tone of what Francis has said is a "penitential pilgrimage" to atone for the role of Catholic missionaries in the forced assimilation of generations of Native children. This visit has stirred mixed emotions across Canada as survivors and their families cope with the trauma of their losses and receive a long-sought papal apology.

🇰🇵The US is a "biological terrorist state", it conducts experiments using dangerous pathogens on the territory of Ukraine and spreads infectious diseases, North Korea's Korean Central News Agency said: "It has set up many biological labs in tens of countries and regions, including Ukraine."
KCNA said that the distribution of US biolabs around the world corresponds to where outbreaks of various diseases have been registered in the past years, these locations are mostly clustered around anti-American states.
🦠The assertions that the US is behind the coronavirus pandemic are "by no means fortuitous", KCNA said.

Even though Western mainstream outlets dominate the media landscape in the region, with most TV channels in Oyo being French and broadcasting EU/US taking points on Ukraine, leadership of the Republic of Congo practices independent foreign policy, not being afraid to communicate with Moscow directly.

🇿🇼Zimbabwe has begun minting gold coins. The move is designed to forge an alternative to the US dollar, reduce demand for foreign currency and strengthen the local money.
The new coin was named Mosi-oa-Tunya (after the local name for Africa's largest waterfall, Victoria Falls). The cost of Mosi-oa-Tunya will be based on global gold prices and will also include a 5% commission for production and distribution.
