November 2024: What mattered this month on Africa Daily Spectrum

November brought a mix of hard-hitting investigations, sports drama, cultural revival and human stories. If you missed the headlines, here’s a clear, quick guide to the pieces that shaped the month and why they matter to readers across Africa and beyond.

Top stories you should read

INTERPOL's Operation Serengeti led the pack. The international crackdown exposed a Ksh.1.1 billion credit-card fraud ring and saw 1,006 arrests across 19 countries. That story matters because it shows how cross-border crime is being fought and what law enforcement can now trace back to scammers. We explained the operation’s scope, the Kenyan arrests, and the wider regional impact.

On sports, we covered important fixtures and viewing guides. Our AFCON 2025 preview broke down Malawi vs Burkina Faso line-ups and what those selections say about each team’s tactics and chances. We also served fans with practical viewing info: how to watch Inter vs Napoli live in the USA and kick-off and TV details for Tottenham vs Aston Villa and the Chelsea vs Arsenal injury updates. These pieces help you follow the action, whether you’re picking a fantasy lineup or choosing where to stream the game.

Culture had a standout moment in Morocco, where art-deco cinemas are being restored into working cultural hubs. We reported on who’s driving the revival, the funding problems they face, and the cultural payoff when a theater gets new life. That’s a story about heritage becoming a living part of city life again.

Entertainment and personal stories also made headlines. HBO’s The Penguin set off fan talk about a possible Season 2 after a finale that left questions unanswered. In the legal and human-interest corner, Young Thug’s plea deal closed a long-running RICO case without prison time, and Algeria’s Imane Khelif drew global attention after a medical disclosure sparked debate about gender rules in sport—yet she still claimed Olympic gold under IOC rules.
