Two months before the presidential election in DR Congo, we welcome candidate Delly Sesanga, deputy of the Envol party, who wishes to challenge his former ally, the outgoing president Félix Tshisekedi. What are his proposals to improve the daily life of the more than 100 million Congolese hard hit by the gloomy economic situation with inflation at more than 20%? Will he go through with his candidacy?
With the elections approaching, the Congolese are awaiting popular measures to lower the dollar rate. The dollar reached 2,500 CFA francs. In the capital, it has become commonplace to pay for groceries or eat in restaurants. At every sporting event, the stands shout “Dollar ekita!” » (Make the dollar go down!). Report by Aurélie Bazzara-Kibangula.
In Guinea, “African Integration Week” is being held from Monday until this Saturday in Conakry. The Center for Innovation and Research for Development (CIRD) organized this event to mark the 60th anniversary of the OAU, the Organization of African Unity, the ancestor of the African Union. The conference intends to familiarize young people with Pan-Africanism, a concept closely linked to the history of Guinea. Report by Malick Diakité and Sarah Sakho.
Finally, in Tunisia, the world of culture is mobilizing following the cancellation of the oldest film festival in Africa, the Carthage Cinematographic Days – a decision by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, in solidarity with the Palestinian people. The country was a refuge for Palestinian artists during the 1980s and has always supported the Palestinian cause through its film festival. Among artists, this cancellation raises the question of resistance through art and what culture brings to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Report by Lilia Blaise and Hamdi Tlili.
