Uganda–DRC Deal Push: Tshisekedi met Museveni in Kampala and the two countries signed six new agreements covering trade, security, diplomacy and tourism, with plans to jointly explore oil in the Albertine Graben—an energy move that also ties directly into the long-running fight against ADF in eastern DRC. Eastern DRC Security Shock: Despite joint efforts, ADF attacks kept killing civilians: local reports cite at least 50 deaths in raids across North Kivu and Ituri, plus earlier strikes that left at least 12 dead and a drone attack near Mushaki market that reportedly killed 10. Rights Under Pressure: Human Rights Watch says journalists, activists and opposition figures face growing harassment and arbitrary detention as constitutional change debates heat up. Rumours Fuel Violence: In the northeast, panic spread after “genital shrinking” rumours went viral, triggering mob violence before authorities could calm fears. Politics at a Flashpoint: Tshisekedi signaled openness to a third term, while opposition warns it could reopen instability and delay elections.
