AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Border Health & Safety: Travelers heading to Rwanda via Kobero report tighter checks, repeated interrogations, and intimidation at crossings, with some even hiding their real destination to avoid scrutiny. Community Health Access: Congolese teachers sheltering at Cishemere transit center in Cibitoke appeal to UNHCR and Burundi’s refugee protection office to help them return voluntarily to the DRC and resume their school posts. Higher Education Disruption: The DRC suspends academic and para-academic activities in several public higher education institutions in Goma and Bukavu for 2026–2027 due to security concerns, affecting registrations, classes, assessments, and degree-related activities. Ebola Emergency (Regional): As the DRC Ebola outbreak passes 100 days with over 2,700 deaths, UN leaders warn funding is only 48% covered and could run out within weeks; WHO updates temporary recommendations, and ECSA-HC launches a six-month cross-border response at 33 points of entry to detect and report cases along major trade and migration corridors including Burundi. Maternal Health (Research): A study on immediate postpartum contraception uptake highlights barriers and facilitators in southwestern Uganda, underscoring the need to prevent closely spaced pregnancies. Local Health & Violence: In Gitega’s Bugendana (Bugendana-Kibimba road), a police operation ended in a man shot dead, followed by another death after a beating, sparking arrests and road disruption.
