Martyrs Stadium affair in the DRC: political tensions and non-respect for justice

In this article, we address the affair that is shaking the Ministry of Sports in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Minister François-Claude Kabulo Mwana Kabulo illegally suspended the management committee of the Martyrs stadium led by Me Papy Kibenze. Despite a court decision in favor of Me Kibenze, the minister refuses to respect this decision and prevents the rehabilitated committee from accessing the stadium facilities. This situation raises questions about respect for the rule of law and the primacy of justice in the country. Ensuring compliance with judicial decisions is essential to maintaining public trust and preserving democratic balance.

Posted on

In this article, we review the recent expulsion of two French journalists from Morocco, highlighting the growing diplomatic tensions between the two countries. The Moroccan authorities justify this measure by citing the journalists’ lack of work authorization, while the latter emphasize the difficulty of obtaining these authorizations.

The President of the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Denis KADIMA KAZADI, organized a consultation framework with various actors from civil society, NGOs, religious denominations and the media. The objective was to mobilize all stakeholders to raise public awareness of the ongoing electoral process, with a view to inclusive and democratic elections.

Denis KADIMA KAZADI called for everyone’s civic engagement, emphasizing the importance of conveying a positive message and raising awareness among the population through educational initiatives. He also recognized the crucial role of civil society, NGOs and the media in electoral education of voters and encouraged them to promote transparency and electoral competition, while maintaining their neutrality.

The President of the CENI reassured the participants about the logistical preparations underway and called for a collective mobilization of the population to guarantee transparent and inclusive elections.

By joining forces, Congolese citizens can help advance democracy in their country.

“Rupert Murdoch passes the torch to his son Lachlan: The implications of a major power shift in the media industry”

Posted on

The transfer of power from Rupert Murdoch to his son Lachlan marks a turning point in the history of the media. Rupert Murdoch, after a 70-year career, steps down as chairmen of Fox Corporation and News Corp. Lachlan Murdoch, aged 52, thus becomes his father’s successor. This transition raises questions about the future of these large companies. Lachlan will notably have to improve the image of Fox News and face the challenges of the digital world. Its modern approach should influence the media landscape and preserve the conservative influence of Fox News. This succession will therefore be closely monitored and will have a significant impact on the media industry in the years to come.
