Today’s article is about the African Volleyball Confederation / zone 4, which has announced the postponement of the qualifying rounds for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The tournament, which was to start on June 10 in Bangui, Central African Republic, will finally be held from July 2 to 7.
According to the confederation, the request for postponement comes from the host federation. It therefore invites participating delegations to communicate their travel itinerary as well as the dates of arrival in Bangui before June 15, 2023.
In the DRC, the pre-selected male Leopards continue their preparation, under the direction of Swaleh Omari and his deputies, for these highly anticipated qualifiers. Remember that the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games will take place in Paris.
In addition, the DRC has been the scene of several significant events in recent days. The National Independent Electoral Commission, ONIP and INS signed a memorandum of understanding for the creation of the general population file, an important project for the management of future elections in the country.
In addition, President Félix Tshisekedi received the credentials of four new ambassadors, thus marking a strengthening of diplomatic relations with the DRC.
However, the country remains immersed in a tense political and security situation, particularly in the east where violence persists. Similarly, a controversial search of the home of opposition figure Moïse Katumbi elicited mixed reactions.
In a context marked by these inequalities, persistent tensions and security challenges, Hortense Kavuo Maliro announced her presidential candidacy in the DRC. She will defend the rights of people with disabilities in a country that remains largely insensitive to their cause.
Finally, a wave of insecurity is raging in Kikwit, where several incidents have been reported in a few days. However, a glimmer of hope appeared with the installation of the Youth Parliament Committee in Haut-Katanga, with the mission of representing young people and fighting against corruption and the embezzlement of funds, particularly in the territory of Pweto.
In conclusion, the DRC faces numerous political, security and social challenges. Nevertheless, the initiatives that are emerging offer hope for a better future for Congolese citizens.
