Defending champions Senegal, Burkina Faso, South Africa and Tunisia added their names to the list of qualified teams for next year’s African Cup of Nations finals.
Senegal, who won the tournament in Cameroon 14 months ago, beat Mozambique 1-0 away to keep up their 100% record and secure top spot in Group L while a point away for Burkina Faso at Togo in a 1-1 draw was enough for them to progress from Group B.
Tunisia ensured a top-two finish in Group J as Haithem Jouini scored the only goal away against neighbours Libya in Benghazi, where frustrated home fans rained down an assortment of bottles onto the pitch in the final 10 minutes to leave it looking like a battle zone.Algeria are the other country to have secured qualification, which they did on Monday by beating Niger, along with hosts Ivory Coast.
Namibia captain Peter Shalulile scored on a rebound and Absalom Iimbondi's free-kick went through a porous Cameroon wall to earn the southern African country a famous win over the five-time African champions.

Burkina Faso Suspends French Media Over Interview With Al-QaedaEarlier this month, France 24 held an on-air discussion about an exclusive interview they conducted with the Algerian Abu Obeida Youssef al-Aanabi, the leader of the group Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). Wassim Nasr, the journalist who did the interview, told the Associated Press news agency that the TV station had decided not to broadcast it. Burkina Faso's Communication Minister Jean-Emmanuel Ouedraogo, said that by interviewing the head of the Islamist group, "France 24 is not only acting as a mouthpiece for these terrorists but worse, it is providing a space for the legitimization of terrorist actions and hate speech." France 24 slammed the government's accusations as outrageous and defamatory. "The management of France 24 condemns this decision and disputes the baseless accusations calling into question the channel's professionalism," the news station said. In December 2022, Radio France Internationale (RFI) was also suspended on accusations of sending a "message of intimidation" attributed to a terrorist chief. RFI and France 24 have also been suspended by neighbouring Mali, which is also under military rule.
