2027: Tinubu has lost touch with reality and is unaware he is president, Shaibu says

Prince Epenge Barred from Leaving the Country as DGM Confiscates His Passport at N'djili

Prince Epenge, president of ADD Congo and a member of Lamuka and the Article 64 coalition, was unable to board a flight to Rome on October 25 with Martin Fayulu, ahead of an opposition meeting scheduled to begin Monday. At N'djili airport, Directorate General of Migration agents held their passports, then returned Fayulu’s, while preventing Epenge from travelling on the grounds that he had to answer a court summons he says he never received. The procedure is reportedly linked to the death of Manassé Lomboto, a young ADD Congo activist who died after being violently beaten during the coalition’s September 15 march in Kinshasa. The investigation is ongoing; the opposition alleges a trap, authorities reject the accusations, and the city’s official death toll lists no fatalities.

DRC: Government revives e-visa process, bids to be evaluated in early 2027

State Minister Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner announced the revival of the e-visa process at the cabinet meeting chaired by Félix Tshisekedi in Kinshasa on October 23, 2026. The previous concession contract, signed in June 2024, was cancelled after a review found legal, financial and contractual shortcomings. Two technical workshops and a consolidation day are planned for mid-November to revise the specifications and set tariffs and a commercial and financial model. Bid evaluations are expected to begin in early 2027, as the government seeks to modernize and harmonize visa issuance, improve transparency and secure public revenue.
