Military cooperation between the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Belgium is at the heart of the discussions, while Samy Adubango, Congolese Deputy Minister of Defense, exchanges with Mrs. Ludivine Dedoner, her Belgian counterpart. This visit comes in a tense security context in the east of the country, characterized by Rwandan attacks camouflaged by M23 terrorists. The two parties are thus discussing the possibilities of reviving their military cooperation to respond to this threat.
In addition, the Congolese Ministry of Defense has just met new leaders, determined to revitalize this cooperation with friendly countries. This is reflected in particular by the signing of a letter of intent last week in Jakarta between the DRC and Indonesia, with a view to military cooperation.
In addition, several articles recently published on Fatshimetrope’s blog mention other hot topics in the country, such as the increase in human rights violations in the DRC in March 2023, the challenge to the financial governance of the UDPS -Tshisekedi, or the establishment of a climate of terror by the Mobondo militia in the province of Kwango. The African Commission for the Supervision of Elections (CASE) is also calling for the resignation of the president of the electoral center of the DRC.
Outside the political sphere, Esdras Kabamba, Congolese goalkeeper, is again in the running to face the Panthers of Gabon with the Leopards. Finally, African journalists are trained in investigative journalism against corruption, a subject which is also at the heart of the concerns of many social actors in the DRC.
So many subjects that testify both to the complexity and the richness of Congolese news
