(FILES) Malian singer Rokia Traore performs during the closing ceremony of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations football tournament at the Stade de l'Amitie Sino-Gabonaise in Libreville on February 5, 2017. The Italian Court rejected Traore's appeal against her surrender to Belgium, her lawyer told AFP on November 20, 2024, adding that she would be transferred to the Belgian authorities 'in the next few days'. The singer and guitarist was sentenced in absentia by a Brussels court last year on charges of parental abduction. She was arrested in Italy in June and challenged the extradition order.
