In tonight's edition, Mali's separatists declare the country's junta will fall, a day after its military leader declared the situation is under control. Also, the Democratic Republic of Congo is set to send boots on the ground to protect its lucrative mines.

France and Britain will co-host a video conference Friday of countries ready to contribute to a "purely defensive mission" to secure the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking with FRANCE 24's Yinka Oyetade, Dr Bamo Nouri, Senior Lecturer in International Relations at the University of West London, says that the initiative is an attempt by Europe "to reinsert itself into a crisis that has been shaped by US and Israeli decision-making in a war of choice".
