U18 Fiba Africa tournament is currently underway (22-31 July) in Kigali, Rwanda.
Official Site
From the 12 scheduled teams, split in two groups, Zimbabwe withdrew.
Group A: Algeria, Cote d'Ivoire, Gabon, Mali, Rwanda
Group B: Angola, Benin, Congo (DR), Egypt, Tunisia, Uganda.
No surprise in D1, except the overwhelming win of host Rwanda over Gabon 94-64, while Angola defeated Tunisia, in a game between two of Group B favorites. Egypt had no problems with Benin buried by 141 pts (Group's result in Fiba Africa site is obviously wrong - it's the opposite way).
Egypt, Mali, Angola should be among the favorites in the tournament, that will qualify the top two finishing nations besides host Egypt for U19 WC.
Games can be watched live.
Edit: D1 Egypt-Benin result now fixed on Fiba Africa page.
