Russia: Goïta Takes Part in Military Demonstration and Tries Shooting During Moscow Visit

During a visit to Moscow for the third Russia-Africa Summit on October 28–29, 2026, Mali’s transition president, Assimi Goïta, toured the Russian armed forces’ Patriot Park with General Andrei Averyanov. After a demonstration of close-protection exercises and weapons training, Goïta tried shooting himself, firing a rifle four times. He arrived in Moscow on October 26 and met Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin on October 30, as Moscow and Bamako prepared new cooperation agreements. Russian military support to Mali, underway since late 2021, includes training, equipment deliveries and technical assistance, and was estimated to have reached nearly $900 million by December 2025.

Toxic insecticide threatens lives in DR Congo

In Lubumbashi, households use Lava, an insecticide containing dichlorvos, to kill cockroaches and mosquitoes indoors, although it is designed for spraying across large agricultural areas. Dr. Paul Musa says 22 poisonings linked to indoor spraying were recorded between December 7, 2025, and February 25, 2026, including 14 cases requiring hospitalization. Reported symptoms include dizziness, headaches and nausea, while severe poisoning can cause breathing difficulties, coma or death. The WHO classifies dichlorvos as highly hazardous, and it is banned in Europe and Canada, yet Lava is still marketed in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Can Democrats stop the Iran war and reverse Trump’s tariffs after their midterm win?

Democrats took control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the November 3, 2026, midterm elections, dealing a major defeat to Donald Trump’s Republicans. Their majorities will strengthen congressional scrutiny of the president and allow lawmakers to block legislation, though Trump retains powers he can use without congressional approval. Trump began the war on Iran with Israel in February without congressional authorisation and could still order attacks. Democrats could constrain his military options by withholding additional funding when the current government-funding bill expires on December 11.
