In politics and sports, the stories
0:02
unfolding across Africa and beyond are
0:04
grabbing global attention. In Tanzania,
0:07
President Samius Sulu Hassan, the
0:10
country's first female leader, is
0:12
heading into a re-election with barely
0:13
any opposition in sight. What should be
0:16
a contest is being described more like a
0:19
coronation. While her leadership has
0:21
been praised for stability, critics
0:24
point to shrinking space for opposition
0:26
voices and a weakened democratic
0:28
process. Meanwhile, in central Africa,
0:30
Cameroon's long-term leader, 92-year-old
0:33
Paul Beya, has secured a controversial a
0:36
term in office. Despite allegations of
0:39
voters oppression, violence, and a
0:41
fractured opposition, Bey continues his
0:44
four decade rule, raising deeper
0:46
concerns about the future of democracy
0:48
in the region. In sports, as the Premier
0:52
League title race heats up, questions
0:55
arise. Are Liverpool and Manchester City
0:57
still Arsenal's biggest threats this
0:59
season? With top form returning across
1:02
the league's biggest clubs, it's shaping
1:04
up to be another thrilling battle for
1:06
the crown. From power moves in African
1:09
politics to high stakes showdowns in
1:11
English football, the race for dominance
1:14
never stops. This is Media Africa
