AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Cobalt Supply Tightened: ARECOMS says unused January–June cobalt export quotas will be forfeited by June 30 and reassigned to a “strategic quota,” penalizing late shippers and aiming to boost local processing and value-add in the world’s top cobalt reserve country. Ebola Escalation in the East: The Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak has reached a fourth province, with WHO figures putting it at 1,274 cases and 360 deaths; Haut-Uele is now affected after a travel-linked case, while clinical trials for the strain are set to start soon. First Experimental Drug Shipments: Treatment centers begin receiving doses for the first experimental therapies tested against this Bundibugyo strain, as there is still no approved vaccine or treatment. US Targets Conflict-Mineral Networks: The US Treasury sanctions Gasabo Gold Refinery and linked firms/executives, accusing them of smuggling gold from M23-controlled eastern DRC to Rwanda under armed escort—raising pressure on Kigali. Eastern Congo Human Rights Alarm: A UN inquiry warns of an exceptionally grave human rights situation in North and South Kivu, citing sexual violence, unlawful killings, forced recruitment and attacks on schools and health facilities. DRC Quarantine Rules: Kinshasa imposes a 21-day quarantine and travel restrictions for Ebola contacts and for people returning from affected provinces, including health workers and response teams. Air Connectivity Boost: Air Congo confirms Brussels–Kinshasa flights starting July 1, challenging Brussels Airlines’ monopoly on the route. IMF Support: The IMF approves a new $350m disbursement for DRC reforms, budget support, infrastructure and social protection, plus climate resilience and stronger reserves. Legal Push at ICJ: DRC files a fresh case at the ICJ against Rwanda over alleged violations in eastern Congo, adding to other court actions. Minor Aviation Incident Closed: DRC investigators decide against a formal inquiry into an Airbus A321 freighter landing incident at Kindu, classifying it as a minor event.
