AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Ebola Surge & Misinformation: DR Congo’s health ministry says confirmed Ebola cases jumped to 710 with 149 deaths, as teams push surveillance, isolation, contact tracing, targeted vaccination and community engagement—while authorities deny lockdown rumours and warn against unverified posts. Regional Spillover: The outbreak is also expanding into neighboring Uganda, raising pressure on cross-border preparedness and travel-linked risk management. Response Bottlenecks: Reports flag operational gaps in Ituri, North Kivu and South Kivu—limited Ebola treatment capacity, shortages of infection-control supplies, weak alert reporting, and a $21.5m funding gap—plus reluctance around post-mortem swabbing. Mining & Supply-Chain Pressure: Global Witness alleges looted DRC coltan is smuggled via Rwanda into global electronics supply chains, while civil society urges Kinshasa to renegotiate China’s “minerals for infrastructure” deal over tax exemptions and transparency concerns. Energy Risk for Cobalt: Chronic power shortages and aging hydro infrastructure threaten stable cobalt output, forcing miners toward costly self-generation or reduced processing. Justice in UN Expert Killing Case: A military court in Kinshasa sentenced 54 people to death over the 2017 killings of UN investigators Michael Sharp and Zaida Catalan.
