AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Critical Minerals Policy: Kinshasa approved a strategic minerals overhaul that adds lithium, tantalum, niobium, tungsten, uranium and rare earths to the “strategic” list, raising royalties to 10% (from 3.5%) for mining companies—pushing up costs for lithium projects as DRC deepens ties with Western partners to secure critical supply chains. Ebola & Trade Disruption: The Ebola crisis in eastern DRC is worsening fast: MSF calls the situation “deeply alarming” as suspected cases top 1,000 and deaths rise, with border and airport closures delaying aid and containment. Cross-Border Containment: WHO chief Tedros urged a ceasefire to let health workers reach communities; UNICEF delivered emergency supplies, while Uganda’s border curbs and other travel restrictions are tightening around the outbreak. Business Fallout & Logistics: Flight suspensions to Bunia and broader travel limits are disrupting movement of people and goods, adding pressure to already fragile health and transport systems. World Cup Compliance: Despite Ebola concerns, FECOFA and FIFA confirmed the Leopards’ participation after meeting U.S. health protocols, including a Europe-based 21-day stay before entering the U.S.
