Congo is on the verge of becoming an African boxing champion, thanks to its two compatriots Fiston Mbaya and Pita Kabeji. The two boxers achieved a feat by advancing to the round of 16 of the world boxing championship in Taskhent in Uzbekistan. However, Fiston Mbaya pushed his way to the quarter-finals, thus writing a new chapter in the history of Congolese boxing.
This spectacular success allowed Congo to climb to 34th place in the world and 4th place in Africa, behind Algeria, Morocco and Mozambique. It is the first time that Congo has reached this ranking, which rewards the efforts of the two boxers and the hard work of the national selection team.
Currently, the national team is in Cameroon to participate in the African Boxing Championship to be held in June. This will be another opportunity for Congo to show their potential in the field of boxing.
In addition to boxing, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has also seen other major events this month, including the political crisis, tensions between politicians and the media, and the fight for the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community.

In addition, telecommunications companies in the DRC are committed to promoting the emergence of a middle class by supporting outsourcing. This could contribute to job creation and economic growth in the country.
Finally, President Tshisekedi reaffirmed the priority of Sino-Congolese cooperation during his visit to Shanghai. All these events testify to the current evolution in the DRC and the importance of following its news closely.
