“Why does it say posted by African press on 10/29?”

They’re on the other side of the international date line.

Anywhere is on the other side of the International Date Line, if you go the long way. According to its site, API is based in Norway, and "will have" bureaus in Africa.

Oslo is five hours ahead of US Eastern time, so it would have been on the 29 if it was posted after 7 pm EDT. Or they might have jumped the gun with the date on the release.

Normally Scandinavia is six hours different from EST, however, I am not sure if they have moved the clock one more hour as of "seasonal" daily saving time!!!
