AGP Executive Report

Last update: 43 minutes ago

DRC–Israel Security & Investment Push: President Félix Tshisekedi’s Sept 1-3 visit to Israel accelerated ties, with talks covering security, agriculture, infrastructure, health, water and investment; Kinshasa is also seeking closer security cooperation as Israel looks to expand economic access tied to mining. Embassy Move to Jerusalem: Kinshasa confirmed it will transfer its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, reviving a 2023 plan; no timetable was given, while Israel reiterated plans for a resident embassy in Kinshasa. Ebola Response Meets Mobility Data: Congo’s Ebola fight is turning to anonymized mobile-phone records to map population movement and spot where cases may emerge next, as infections top 6,000 and deaths pass 3,000; analysts warn the real caseload could be far higher. Public Health Funding Friction: Reports say Ebola checkpoints and staff payments are being disrupted by unpaid workers and “fictitious” names on payroll lists, slowing screening and treatment. Education Disruption in Conflict Zones: Kinshasa suspended academic activities for 2026-2027 in 11 public higher education institutions in Goma and Bukavu amid insecurity linked to AFC/M23 control, drawing strong criticism. Anti-Corruption Court Case: Belgium’s Brussels court referred Semlex and 14 defendants to criminal trial over alleged bribery and diversion of about $60m tied to DRC biometric passports. Urban Transport Watch: Kinshasa’s revived urban train service returns after nearly 15 years, easing gridlock but drawing complaints over crowding and heat. Regional Crime Research Network: Academics from Cameroon, Gabon, Chad and the DRC launched a regional network in Yaounde to combat organized crime and armed violence. Kinshasa City Expansion Tech Deal: Algeria’s INATEL signed an MoU for a digital, industrial and technological program linked to the Kinshasa City Expansion Project.
