AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

School Tragedy in Bukavu: A fire at Ujamaa Primary School in Bukavu, eastern DRC, sparked a stampede that killed at least 26 children, with UNICEF reporting 25 injured; witnesses describe pupils jumping from upper floors, trampled students, and homes destroyed as flames spread across wooden buildings in a densely packed hillside area under M23 control. Ebola Update: DRC authorities say the country’s worst Ebola outbreak has passed 7,000 cases (7,022), with 3,398 deaths and 1,671 recoveries, while officials suggest the outbreak may have peaked in early August and that some health zones have seen no new cases for weeks. Church Response to Ebola: The Anglican Church of Congo is pushing back against “Ebola fatigue,” supporting infection-control efforts across dioceses and tackling misinformation as the outbreak continues. Culture & Faith: Congolese singer-preacher Carlyto Lassa has died in Cincinnati, with funeral plans still unclear as his community weighs options for where the body will be flown. Lifestyle & Safety: The week also highlights how repeated urban fires—often linked to crowded housing and weak firefighting—keep turning everyday events like school and weddings into disasters.
