@TravelGov #Rwanda claims to have closed their borders with #DRC due to #Ebola. Yet here are #M23AFC and #Sarambwe soldiers crossing the border freely at night two days ago.

Rwanda: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued an updated Level 3 (Reconsider Nonessential Travel) Travel Health Notice for Ebola for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and a Level 1 (Practice Usual Precautions) Travel Health Notice for Ebola for Uganda.
Due to the Ebola outbreak, Rwanda has implemented new entry and exit requirements:
On May 22, 2026, the Ministry of Health of Rwanda announced that all foreign nationals who have traveled to, or transited through, the DRC within 30 days of their travel to Rwanda will be denied entry.
Rwandan nationals and foreign residents with valid proof of residency in Rwanda can enter and are subject to mandatory quarantine procedures.

#RDC: Le premier patient guéri de la 17ᵉ épidémie d’Ebola en RDC est sorti ce mercredi de l’hôpital en Ituri, a annoncé l’Incident Manager adjoint de l’Institut national de santé publique (INSP) depuis l’épicentre de la riposte. Un signal encourageant face à la souche Bundibugyo, pour laquelle il n’existe ni vaccin ni traitement homologué.

🇺🇬 En #Ouganda, une loi criminalisant les transferts d’argent internationaux a été adoptée. Baptisée "loi sur la protection de la souveraineté", elle a été promulguée le 17 mai par le président Yoweri Museveni.
On t’explique.

Ituri province in the #DRC is not only the epicentre of the #Ebola outbreak, but also one of the areas hardest hit by acute hunger.
The latest @theIPCinfo data show that across Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu, and Tanganyika, nearly 10 million people are facing hunger.
This hunger crisis is driven not only by conflict and economic pressures, but also by limited access to essential services and weakened infrastructure. In many affected areas, health facilities are either non-functional or operating under severe constraints due to insecurity. Poor road conditions further restrict the movement of goods and humanitarian assistance.
Hunger and disease are old companions. People weakened by hunger are far more vulnerable to infections.
@WHO and 55 humanitarian partners are present across affected areas, providing essential health services, including treatment for acute malnutrition. But our work continues to be impeded by violence and limited access to some of the hardest-to-reach communities.
Together with the DRC government and our partners, we will continue scaling up the response to the ongoing crisis, not only to end the Ebola outbreak, but also to address the broader humanitarian and health needs of affected communities.
To do so, we urgently need sufficient funding, as well as sustained and safe access so that:
- Responders can be protected from the Ebola Bundibugyo virus
- Responders can provide protection and care to affected communities
- Humanitarian teams can deliver aid and a full package of healthcare services to all communities in need

#BAD2026: En marge des Assemblées annuelles de la Banque africaine de développement à Brazzaville, le ministre des Finances Doudou Fwamba Likunde Li-Botayi a présenté la stratégie financière mise en place par la RDC pour faire face à l’épidémie d’Ebola.
Le gouvernement congolais a déjà mobilisé 20 millions USD pour soutenir la riposte sanitaire et prévoit plus de 30 millions USD supplémentaires dans les prochains jours, dans un contexte marqué par les défis sécuritaires à l’Est du pays.
Kinshasa met également en avant la coordination régionale avec les pays voisins et appelle à un appui renforcé des partenaires internationaux, notamment la BAD et la Banque mondiale, afin de soutenir la réponse sanitaire et préserver les équilibres macroéconomiques acquis depuis 2024. | via @Zoom_eco @financesrdc

“Africa, if you add up the 55 countries of the African Union, that’s about 1.5 billion people—same size as India, same size as China. The big difference is that the imperial powers divided Africa into 55 little countries, not one of which can thrive on its own, whereas India and China, because of the history, remained.
So I tell them every single time I have the opportunity that the African Union is the key. As 55 you can’t make it, but as one African continental economy you can make it.
So what’s happening now is Africa’s population is continuing to rise—it’s the only place in the world with rapid population growth—and all the others are declining. Everyone else has peaked or is just about to peak or actually beginning a decline.
Africa’s population today is 1.5 billion. By 2050 it’ll be 2.5 billion. That’s a lot, adding a billion people in the next quarter century. If you go even farther and just try to extrapolate based on current trends, Africa’s population reaches about 3.5 billion. According to the UN’s most recent forecast, 3.7 billion by the end of the 21st century.
And Africa goes from being 9% of the world population to being more than 30% of the world population. It’s going to be a completely different world.
What do I say to African leaders every time? Be Africa-wide. Second, get on quickly with mass education, because that is the key to economic development. Third, look at what China did—follow that model.”
—Jeffrey D. Sachs, American economist.✅

#Congo 🇨🇬 : ceci peut faire réfléchir les entrepreneurs et décideurs Congolais 🇨🇩 .
« Plus de 180millions de $ cherchent des opportunités.

4 African economies rank among the top 10 fastest-growing in the world over the the last quarter century.
Not one year, but year after year for 25 years.
For the first portion of the 21st century, Ethiopia (#1), Rwanda (#4), Tanzania (#9), and Uganda (#10) have been writing the world's growth story alongside China, Cambodia, Vietnam, and India.
That's a story not enough people are talking about.
Of course, growth rates only tell part of the story.
GDP per capita, income distribution, poverty reduction, and other measures are important, too — and the picture there is less uniform
But a reality that's still underappreciated is this:
The world increasingly depends on Africa for growth — and these four economies are proving the continent can deliver it consistently.

The Trump administration on Tuesday increased the U.S. refugee program's ceiling to welcome another 10,000 Afrikaners it argues are facing racial discrimination in South Africa because they are White.
The South African government has consistently and categorically denied that Afrikaners are being persecuted. CBS News' Camilo Montoya-Galvez has more.

Cofundador de Anthropic alerta en el Vaticano sobre tres desafíos éticos de la IA🙏
Durante la presentación de la encíclica Magnifica Humanitas, Christopher Olah, cofundador de Anthropic, advirtió sobre tres grandes desafíos éticos que plantea el desarrollo de la inteligencia artificial (IA), y pidió un discernimiento profundo sobre su futuro.
1. Deber hacia los pobres del mundo
Impacto de la IA en el trabajo y las desigualdades globales; concentración del desarrollo en países ricos y la pregunta sobre cómo compartir las ganancias; riesgo real de desplazamiento masivo del trabajo y la necesidad moral de apoyar a los trabajadores; falta de mecanismos para distribuir beneficios económicos de manera justa, problema que históricamente la Iglesia ha señalado.
2. Redefinir el florecimiento humano
Necesidad de evaluar la tecnología desde la perspectiva del florecimiento personal, familiar y social; interrogantes sobre cómo será una vida humana floreciente y el bienestar de las familias si la IA se generaliza; preocupación de padres por el impacto tecnológico en los niños y la incertidumbre laboral de muchas personas; papel de las tradiciones religiosas y filosóficas en reflexionar sobre la dignidad y el sentido de la vida, que deben seguir acompañando.
3. Discernimiento sobre la naturaleza de la IA
La naturaleza interna de los modelos de IA sigue siendo misteriosa incluso para sus desarrolladores; hallazgos inquietantes como estructuras que reflejarían resultados de la neurociencia y evidencias de posibles estados internos (alegría, miedo, etc.); necesidad de un discernimiento continuo y de voces morales independientes de los incentivos; llamado a más sectores de la sociedad a implicarse, siguiendo el ejemplo del Papa León XIV.

À écouter tous les caporaux – pseudo-religieux, pseudo-scientifiques ou pseudo-politiques – engagés dans la croisade pour le changement de la Constitution, une évidence s’impose : ils ne se soucient guère d’une quelconque justification ou argumentation rationnelle. Le régime semble avoir déjà choisi ses véritables armes : l’argent et la force. D’un côté, corrompre les « élus » ainsi que les leaders d’opinion ; de l’autre, intimider le corps social et politique. Ils savent pertinemment que ce ne sont ni les pitreries des sieurs Ejiba, Mbata et consorts qui permettront de remporter cette croisade, mais bien les espèces sonnantes et trébuchantes de la machine à corruption, appuyées par la violence intimidante des forces dites du « progrès ».
Ce qui se joue dans ce jeu dangereux du régime Tshisekedi, c’est plus qu’une simple dérive anticonstitutionnelle, c’est la cacothanasie de tous les arrangements démocratiques mis en place au prix de durs combats .
