AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Ebola Response Tech: WHO-backed teams in eastern DR Congo are now using anonymized mobile-phone movement data to spot where Ebola could spread next, as the outbreak tops 6,100 infections and 3,000 deaths and modelling warns the real caseload may be far higher. Public Health Funding & Payroll Integrity: A Bloomberg report says Ebola checkpoints and staff lists are being disrupted by unpaid workers and “fictitious” payroll entries, forcing biometric clean-ups that slow payments to real responders. Diplomacy & Security: Kinshasa says it will transfer its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, following Tshisekedi’s talks with Netanyahu and Herzog, with security cooperation and mining-linked economic ties in the background. Education Under Pressure: DR Congo has suspended academic activities for 2026-2027 in 11 public higher education institutions in Goma and Bukavu amid the security crisis around AFC/M23 control. Corruption Case Watch: Belgium’s court referral sends Semlex to trial in Brussels over alleged bribery and diversion of about $60m tied to DR Congo biometric passports. Urban Mobility: Kinshasa’s long-dormant urban train has returned after nearly 15 years, easing gridlock but drawing complaints over overcrowding and heat. Regional Business Links: Algeria’s INATEL signed an MoU tied to Kinshasa’s city expansion project, while Tunisia’s CEPEX opened registrations for a Kinshasa construction trade mission ahead of EXPO BÉTON.
