Bally Bagayoko presented the launch of the Hip-Hop and Urban Cultures Festival of the New Town of Saint-Denis–Pierrefitte-sur-Seine as an evening focused on creation, commitment, and hope. He said that the city aimed to maintain a strong cultural ambition despite a difficult political and social context, which weakened local communities and tested cultural policies. He described culture as a right and a means of emancipation, and hip-hop and urban cultures as spaces for expression, encounter, and solidarity. According to him, the evening also allowed for affirming support for the mobilization of high school students on October 17.

Bonheur Muamba called on Lord Chris to demonstrate consistency and not distort the facts by supporting the regime. He wrote that public payments should, in his view, be based on certified documents and rigorous controls, including the verification of compliance lists, and not on mere online statements. He added that promoting national entrepreneurship did not justify the automatic validation of claims. He asserted that the rule of law desired by President Félix Tshisekedi also applied to the economy and that the Deputy Prime Minister of Economy, Daniel Mukoko Samba, was simply applying the law, which required an audit, verification, and compliance certification before any payment. Muamba also stated that equality before the law concerned all oil operators and urged his interlocutor to adhere to Congolese laws rather than what he termed social media blackmail. #RDC #Économie #Droit (translated)
