In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the publication of the results of the 2023 state exams was marred by a second wave of results, sparking public outrage. The Ministry of Primary, Secondary and Technical Education (EPST) attempted to clarify the situation by asserting that the published results were unchanged, except in the event of an error in consulting previous results. A technical confusion would have led to the publication of the results of the 2022 edition instead of those of the 2023 edition. The EPST announced the closure of the window for the 2022 edition to avoid new errors, but the consequences persist for some pupils. The ministry promised to restore trust and improve the management of state exams. This situation raises questions about the functioning of the education system in the DRC and the importance of improving the transparency and reliability of results to guarantee fairness and trust for all. Steps must be taken to restore the credibility of exam results and ensure a better future for the country’s students.
In this extract, we take stock of the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh following the fighting between Armenian separatists and Azerbaijan. The separatists capitulated and began negotiations with Azerbaijan for the withdrawal of their troops. The negotiations are taking place under the supervision of Russian peacekeepers. The separatists began to surrender their weapons and a Russian contingent also provided humanitarian aid to the population. However, the situation remains precarious with the encirclement of the “capital” Stepanakert by the Azerbaijani army and significant humanitarian challenges. It is crucial to closely monitor developments and provide the necessary aid to support the populations affected by this conflict.

It also highlights the importance of citizen control in the legislative process and recommends reforms to improve the representativeness of the population’s interests. The report urges MPs to pay more attention to daily issues and to strengthen transparency and evaluation of parliamentary activities. It highlights the essential role of citizen control in democracy and progress in the DRC.
In his speech to the UN, Benjamin Netanyahu spoke of progress towards “historic peace” between Israel and Saudi Arabia. This statement follows comments by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who mentioned a rapprochement between the two countries. This normalization of Israeli-Arab relations could have major consequences for the stability of the region, notably by strengthening the possibilities for peace with the Palestinians and encouraging other Arab countries to follow the example. However, challenges persist, such as the issue of Palestinian rights and the Iranian nuclear threat. This development requires continued attention.

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) decides to revisit its contract with Chinese companies to reestablish a more balanced partnership and guarantee benefits for the DRC. Over the past 15 years, Chinese companies have generated nearly $10 billion in profits, while the DRC has obtained less than $1 billion. Under the leadership of President Félix Tshisekedi, the Congolese government begins negotiations with Chinese companies to revise the contract. The results of the discussions are positive, Chinese companies are now open to more equitable collaboration. This revisitation of the contract offers new opportunities for the DRC, allowing it to benefit more from its natural resources and Chinese investments in infrastructure. This decision illustrates the DRC’s desire to put the country’s resources at the service of development and the well-being of the population.

Despite this, Canada stepped up its support for Ukraine by announcing additional military aid. The situation in Ukraine therefore remains tense and international assistance is crucial to confront this crisis.
