US Judge Halts Construction of Trump’s Triumphal Arch in Washington, DC

Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan ordered a 14-day pause on construction of Donald Trump’s proposed 250-foot (76-metre) monument in Washington, DC. The order followed an 8–4 approval vote by the National Capital Planning Commission, despite opposition from dozens of witnesses. Vietnam War veterans are among those challenging the project in court, citing concerns that it could block the view between Arlington National Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial. Trump proposed the arch to mark the 250th anniversary of US independence.

River navigation: Tshopo asks Tshisekedi to suspend ban on wooden boats

In a letter dated November 6, 2026, Tshopo Provincial Assembly president Mateus Kanga Londimo asked Félix Tshisekedi to suspend the ban on wooden boats scheduled to take effect on November 15. The assembly supports navigation-safety measures and the ban on carrying passengers, but calls for at least a one-year transition before freight transport is halted. It says the province relies on the river to receive food, medicine and other essentials, and has very few metal boats available as replacements. Lawmakers warn that stopping river traffic could isolate parts of the province, cause shortages and drive up prices.

Atiku criticises the government over the removal of the fuel subsidy, the naira’s depreciation, rising food prices and worsening insecurity. He challenges the ruling party to face the opposition in a free, fair and credible election.
