In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the political parties are getting ready for battle six months before the elections announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (Céni). The opposition denounces a process that lacks transparency. The party of opponent Martin Fayulu has toughened its tone and announced at a press conference on Monday June 19 that it is withdrawing from the electoral process.

In Senegal, the traditional Muslim festival of Tabaski is approaching. But in Dakar, we are far from the usual effervescence. The deadly riots of the beginning of the month following the condemnation of the opponent Ousmane Sonko are still in the memories.

Reporting by Sarah Sakho and Aminatou Diallo.
