AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoConstitutional Crisis: DR Congo’s Constitutional Court cleared a path for a referendum that could let President Félix Tshisekedi seek a third term, despite the constitution’s two-term limit; the C64 opposition coalition says the ruling lacks legitimacy and warns it could enable “a change to the Constitution, nor a third term.” Ebola Surge: Ebola keeps accelerating in the east: confirmed cases rose to 3,200 with 1,405 deaths (Ituri remains the epicenter), while hospitals face bed strain and response logistics are stretched. New Trial for Post-Exposure Care: A clinical trial in Ituri has begun to test an investigational antiviral for post-exposure prophylaxis for high-risk contacts, as WHO flags the public health risk as very high. Health Workers Strike: Doctors and nurses at the Elikya Ebola Treatment Centre in Bunia walked off the job over unpaid wages, disrupting isolation and contact tracing. Pollution and Public Health: Human Rights Watch says pollution from Perenco’s oil operations in Kongo Central—via gas flaring, waste burning, and leaks—poses serious health risks to nearby communities.
