Palm Payments Push: MainMoney has rolled out palm-based biometrics in Kinshasa, aiming to let people pay without cards or smartphones as DRC’s central bank backs the move to expand financial access. Eastern Congo Security: Fresh attacks tied to the ADF are widening the crisis in North Kivu and Ituri, raising fears that talks with Rwanda-backed M23 could be undermined by continued violence. Rumour Fallout: In Tshopo, a “genital shrinking” panic spread via churches and social media, triggering suspicion and mob violence before authorities could calm it. M23 Frontline Clashes: Fighting between Wazalendo militias and M23 in the Ruzizi plain remains confused on the ground, with claims of town control disputed. War’s Political Deadline: Tshisekedi says 2028 elections may not happen if eastern fighting persists—while US sanctions against Joseph Kabila keep ratcheting up pressure.
