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)

Africa Daily Report — 1 October 2026 Major developments reported during the previous 24 hours 1. Kenya / East Africa — $16 billion Dangote refinery breaks ground in Lamu. Five African heads of state joined the groundbreaking of Dangote Group's planned $16 billion refinery in Lamu. The plant is designed to process 700,000 barrels per day and is expected to take about 40 months to complete. It is intended to reduce East Africa's dependence on imported refined petroleum, but the project still faces land-rights litigation and environmental concerns. Importance: VERY HIGH — the project could materially reshape East African fuel supply, trade flows, infrastructure investment and regional industrialisation.

President Cyril Ramaphosa announced additional measures after the discovery of multiple murdered women in Ekurhuleni. Measures include a 60-day local-government safety audit and reviews of unresolved murder, rape and other gender-based-violence cases. Police have not established that the recent killings were committed by a single perpetrator. Importance: VERY HIGH — gender-based violence remains a major public-safety and criminal-justice challenge in South Africa.

DR Congo — Mistrust complicates Ebola response after politician killed. Congolese politician Marie-Célestin Karondwa was killed after publicly supporting the government's Ebola response, according to AP. The killing illustrates the severe community mistrust confronting health authorities as the Bundibugyo-virus outbreak continues. Congo has recorded more than 8,000 confirmed infections and nearly 4,000 deaths in the current outbreak. Importance: CRITICAL — the combination of rapid transmission, very high mortality, insecurity and resistance to health measures poses a major regional public-health risk.

Zambia began discussions with a visiting IMF mission on a successor lending programme. The country's previous $1.7 billion IMF arrangement expired in January, and Lusaka wants a new agreement before year-end. The IMF mission is scheduled to remain through October 10. Importance: HIGH — a new IMF programme could affect Zambia's fiscal policy, investment environment and economic strategy after its sovereign-debt restructuring. Direct source: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/zambia-starts-talks-with-visiting-imf-mission-new-loan-programme-2026-09-30/ 5. South Africa / United States — Pretoria summons US ambassador. South Africa's foreign ministry summoned US Ambassador Leo Brent Bozell III over what it described as “undiplomatic conduct.” It was the third such summons in nine months, reflecting continuing strain in bilateral relations. Both governments have nevertheless indicated that dialogue is continuing. Direct source: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/south-africa-summons-us-ambassador-again-over-undiplomatic-conduct-official-says-2026-09-30/ 6. South Africa — Anti-immigration protests held in Durban. Hundreds of demonstrators marched in Durban calling for more deportations of undocumented migrants and tighter border controls. The demonstration comes amid heightened tensions over migration and previous violence against foreign nationals. Authorities did not recognise an ultimatum previously issued by organisers demanding that undocumented migrants leave the country.

New WHO surveillance data show that reported cholera deaths globally rose by about 30% in 2025 despite fewer reported cases. The African Region experienced a particularly sharp deterioration: reported cases increased by 34% and deaths by 58%. Angola, DR Congo, Nigeria, South Sudan and Sudan were among seven countries accounting for roughly 90% of reported global cases and deaths. Importance: VERY HIGH — the figures highlight persistent weaknesses in water, sanitation, surveillance and access to timely treatment across several African states. Direct source: https://allafrica.com/stories/202609300113.html 8. Zambia — New cholera outbreak reaches 304 cases and 11 deaths. Zambian health authorities reported 304 cholera cases across seven districts in five provinces as of September 29, with 11 deaths. Lusaka was among the affected areas. The government said eight deaths occurred in communities, pointing to delays in patients reaching treatment. Importance: HIGH — Zambia only recently ended its previous outbreak, making renewed transmission a significant public-health concern. Direct source: https://www.mwebantu.com/11-die-as-cholera-hits-seven-districts-in-five-provinces-says-ministry-of-health/ 9. Burkina Faso — Country opens its first gold refinery. Burkina Faso inaugurated its first domestic gold refinery, RAFFINOR-BF, in Ouagadougou. The facility cost more than 11 billion CFA francs and has an initial annual refining capacity of about 164 tonnes, with plans for substantial expansion. The project is intended to retain more value from the country's gold production through domestic refining, certification and processing. Importance: HIGH — the refinery is part of a wider African trend toward local mineral beneficiation and greater domestic control of commodity value chains. Direct source: https://apnews.com/article/f39f714232e1784bb5051cdf44f0b992 10. Zimbabwe — Helicopter crash reported with six people aboard. A helicopter carrying four passengers and two crew members crashed in Zimbabwe's Marondera district southeast of Harare. Government and police officials said initial information indicated there were no survivors. Authorities had not immediately released all identities or a cause for the crash. Importance: MODERATE — a significant domestic aviation accident, with investigation and identification of those aboard still pending.

Chi recita il giuramento di Ippocrate non può arrogarsi il «diritto» di falsificare i certificati per attestare condizioni di salute che non sono reali solo per tornaconto ideologico. Non si tratta di obiezione di coscienza ma di un’associazione a delinquere. L'editoriale di @BelpietroTweet  https://t.co/l5n3dEkCju #EticaMedica #GiuramentoDiIppocrate #SalutePubblica

Inchiesta sui falsi certificati medici per evitare il trattenimento di clandestini e immigrati criminali nei Centri di permanenza per i rimpatri “Non solo Ravenna, lo scandalo dei dottori ideologizzati si allarga: da Ferrara arriva il certificato già pronto usato per «salvare» gli immigrati, persone anche sanissime ma improvvisamente inidonee alla vita nei centri” @amendolaraf #immigrazione #giustizia #salute

La certification du Boeing 777X, dont les premières livraisons étaient initialement prévues pour 2020, est désormais suspendue à un accord salarial que doivent voter 17.000 ingénieurs et techniciens, avec des risques de grève pouvant ralentir davantage le processus de certification. #Boeing777X #Aéronautique #Grève

MAURIZIO BELPIETRO Interviene a #QuartaRepubblica sul caso dei falsi certificati medici agli immigrati. "Loro non si sono astenuti dal lavoro, non si sono messi in ferie hanno percepito lo stipendio per svolgere un servizio pubblico poi hanno dichiarato il falso. Hanno dichiarato di avere visitato delle persone ritenendole non idonee, spesso non le hanno visitate, non le hanno neanche viste!" "Quei medici hanno fatto qualcosa che non c'entra nulla con la medicina centra con una posizione ideologica".@BelpietroTweet #Sanità #Immigrazione #EticaMedica

Perché Ilaria Cucchi intratteneva delle conversazioni telefoniche con Nicola Cocco, ora indagato per associazione a delinquere finalizzata alla falsificazione dei certificati di idoneità ai Centri di permanenza per i rimpatri? https://t.co/CwHhSjTdzw #giustizia #dirittiumani #politica

Questo è uno degli infettivologi che hanno redatto dei certificati medici falsi per impedire che diversi immigrati vengano trasferiti nei CPR. È inaccettabile che giudici, e ora anche medici, vanifichino le misure adottate dal Governo per rimpatriare immigrati pericolosi! https://t.co/frp91G8tI7 #immigrazione #giustizia #sanità
