AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoUN Accountability: A new UN report accuses AFC/M23 of systematically targeting civilians in eastern DRC during operations against the FDLR, describing reprisals such as summary executions, forced displacement, and home destruction across North and South Kivu—undercutting claims that the group’s presence is only to fight Rwandan Hutu combatants. Humanitarian Pressure: The report also flags how hard it is to separate combatants from Hutu civilians, fueling communal violence while displaced people keep arriving and aid access remains constrained. DRC Health Tech: The DRC is using anonymised mobile phone data to forecast where Ebola may spread next, helping responders prepare high-risk areas earlier as cases rise across multiple provinces. Mining & Industry: Italy is expanding its Africa strategy with a focus on the DRC, while the country positions itself as a decision centre for mining value addition; a new Kinshasa mining forum is set for Nov 22–25, 2026. Cobalt Supply Chain: A report on China–Kinshasa–DRC cobalt export rules highlights how production and refining concentration can behave like a cartel, shaping global prices and risk. Biotech Update: NanoViricides says it filed its annual report and is moving NV-387 oral gummies into Phase II for mpox in the DRC, after facility upgrades for a remote trial site.
