JOHANNESBURG: Prolific Liverpool scorer and Egypt captain Mohamed Salah will be among the stars in action this week when 2026 World Cup qualifying in Africa kicks off with two match days. His two Premier League goals against Brentford at the weekend raised his total to 200 in English football, and he is now set to shine against Group A rivals Djibouti and Sierra Leone. Salah was the second highest ranked African in the Ballon d’Or last month behind Napoli and Nigeria forward Victor Osimhen, who misses the first matchdays due to an injury. Omar Marmoush of Eintracht Frankfurt and Mostafa Mohamed of Nantes are other Egyptians who have been scoring regularly in major European leagues this season. Djibouti, who face Egypt in Cairo on Thursday, are among the weakest African national teams and have twice suffered eight-goal hidings in World Cup qualifiers. Sierra Leone will be handicapped at having to stage a home fixture against Egypt on Sunday in Liberia because they lack an international-standard stadium. Egypt have won the Africa Cup of Nations a record seven times, but struggle in World Cup qualifying, reaching the finals only three times, compared with eight appearances by Cameroon. The strongest challenge to Salah and his teammates could come from Burkina Faso, ranked 10th in Africa, five places below Egypt.

Meanwhile in DR Congo, inflation has become an electoral issue. The US dollar is used in major transactions in the capital Kinshasa, and is also the currency of choice for groceries, eating out at restaurants and more. But the exchange rate with the local currency, the Congolese franc, fluctuates daily, and recently reached a record 2,500 francs per dollar in Kinshasa. Inflation has become a major worry for the city's inhabitants. With elections approaching, many Congolese are expecting government measures to lower the rate.
For the past decade, several countries in the Sahel region – Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger – have been facing a major Islamist insurgency. Western journalists are no longer welcome in the region, particularly those from the French press.
