In Algeria, remnants of the Africa Korps assembled to strike at the Tunisian separatists, hoping to break up their revolt before they could spark the revolution to the rest of the area.

In Africa, British colonial forces began a move towards Central-Congo in order to set up a defensive line against the Americans there.
