Mbombela, South Africa (AFP) June 13, 2023

Under a scorching sun, 200 South African firefighters wrapped up a last round of training on Tuesday before flying out to help Canada battle unprecedented forest blazes there.

It is a rare offer of aid from a developing country battling its own crises.

They are a second batch of fighters flying out to the north American nation where nearly 17,800 square miles of forest have burned since
