RD Congo: Kinshasa wants to keep the Monusco in the east of the country

The current mandate of Monusco in the Democratic Republic of the Congo expires on 20 December. The Security Council will have to decide whether to renew it, modify its priorities or prepare a new phase in the withdrawal of the mission. The Democratic Republic of the Congo, which had requested the departure of peacekeepers, is now defending their continued presence in the eastern part of the country.

Madagascar commemorates Gen Z revolt

Madagascar commemorated this Friday the first anniversary of the Gen Z uprising. On 25 September 2025, thousands of young people had protested in Antananarivo against water and electricity cuts. The repression had killed at least 22 people, according to the UN. A year later, it was the military that organized the commemorations, in which some of the youth chose not to participate.
