DRC: CREFDL calls for greater transparency in implementing the Lobito and Banana corridors

In a report presented Friday in Kinshasa, the Centre for Research in Public Finance and Development (CREFDL) identified failures to meet legal requirements ahead of public-private partnership contracts for the Lobito and Banana corridors. The organization says requirements in Articles 24 and 25 of the law governing the PPP Advisory and Coordination Unit were not followed and calls for compliance with legal procedures and transparency principles. National coordinator Valéry Madianga said PPPs can help deliver the major projects without increasing the state budget burden, and urged greater involvement of local communities. Conducted from January to August 2026, the study draws in part on the DRC Constitution and the decree on budgetary governance.

France braces for another day of mass protests as security on high alert

More than 70,000 police officers and gendarmes are due to be deployed across France on Saturday as protests are planned over deteriorating school conditions and the rising cost of living. Authorities are seeking to prevent a repeat of the violence on October 17, when looting, vandalism and clashes damaged or ransacked thousands of businesses and led to more than 2,000 people being taken into police custody. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said 20 percent more officers would be deployed, with the elite RAID unit supporting police operations. Several cities have banned demonstrations in their downtown areas, while a union-organised march in Marseille has been authorised under strict conditions.
