AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoEbola Crisis: DR Congo’s Ebola outbreak has surged past 2,000 deaths and 4,381 confirmed cases across five provinces, with WHO warning the virus is outrunning the response; WHO is expanding treatment capacity in Lita (40 to 80 beds) and urges faster, community-led action as insecurity, poor roads and even health-worker strikes over unpaid wages slow delivery. Public Health Logistics: A suspected Ebola river-boat scare near Kinshasa eased after tests came back negative, but authorities are stepping up screening for boats arriving in the capital. Peace Process (Eastern Congo): Under the Doha track, DR Congo and M23 began releasing detainees via ICRC facilitation, with 15 transferred after a convoy route through Uganda—an early but fragile step toward implementation. Mining & Trade: Kinshasa says it will investigate reports of uranium hidden in China-bound cobalt shipments, after earlier allegations tied to cobalt hydroxide exports; separately, DR Congo has already banned copper and cobalt concentrate exports to push more processing at home. Energy & Investment: ANSER and a US-Congolese consortium signed an MoU targeting up to 2 GW of clean-energy infrastructure, aiming to cut the power deficit and expand electricity access. Business Intelligence: Tellurian Research launched a free weekly DRC monitoring report covering politics, security, mining, energy and business risks for decision-makers.
