Bonobo Rescue Under Pressure: On the forest edge of Kinshasa, the Lola ya Bonobo sanctuary is caring for orphaned baby bonobos rescued from poachers and illegal bushmeat networks, with caregivers stressing that affection and constant support can mean the difference between life and death. Humanitarian Alarm: WFP/FAO warn hunger is worsening in the DRC, with 26.5 million people struggling to eat and millions in emergency conditions as conflict keeps families from farms and markets. Eastern Security Bleeds Into Civilians: New ADF-linked attacks in North Kivu and Ituri have killed dozens, while reports also point to drone strikes that hit civilians near markets and checkpoints. Rights Under Strain: Human Rights Watch says journalists, activists, and opposition voices face harassment and arbitrary detention amid pressure over constitutional change. Politics and the Vote Clock: President Félix Tshisekedi says he could accept a third term if “the people want it,” even as fighting in the east threatens whether elections can happen on time. Regional Deals: Uganda and the DRC sign new agreements and discuss joint oil exploration in the Albertine Graben, even as insecurity remains a major shadow over cooperation.
