MR. DIRECTOR: Ted Turner, founder of CNN and creator of television news as a 24-hour public service, has died. That's pretty much what all the headlines will say. But it is worth dwelling on the gigantic effects and consequences derived from the creation of a news channel in continuous transmission.

In a way, it democratized access to information and interconnected the world under a continuous pulse, sust

The low participation of women in the security and defence services was the central theme of a workshop held on Thursday 18 July in Kinshasa. This observation stems from the failure to take into account parity in these areas. The objective of this workshop was to increase the presence of women in these sectors. The work was organized by MONUSCO in collaboration with the School of Criminology of the University of Kinshasa.

It must involve all people, all genders

The Congolese has no roads, no electricity, no drinking water," exclaims the leader of the opposition party "Ensemble". While the east of the DRC is affected by incessant armed conflicts, the rebel group M23, supported by the Rwandan army, continues its progress in North Kivu, resulting in clashes and their share of loss of life, Moise Katumbi expresses his dismay: "My brothers and sisters are being killed every day in the eas
