Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool this summer, ending a nine-year era with impact across the Premier League and African football. Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool at the end of the 2025-26 season, closing one of the most influential chapters in the club’s modern history after nine years at Anfield, according to a BBC report . The Egypt forward departs with 255 goals in 435 appearances, a record that places him among Liverpool’s greatest players and among the defining figures of the Premier League era. Liverpool confirmed that Salah had reached an agreement to leave before the final year of his contract, with the club describing the end of his spell as the close of a “remarkable nine-year chapter” at Anfield. His honours haul includes the Champions League, two Premier League titles, the FA Cup, two League Cups, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup, underlining how central he was to Liverpool’s return to sustained elite success, as the club’s official statement makes clear. But Salah’s departure carries weight beyond Liverpool alone. For the Premier League, it marks the exit of one of the competition’s most productive forwards of the modern era; for African football, it represents the closing of a rare period in which an African player stood not just among Europe’s elite, but at the center of one of its most globally followed clubs, a legacy reflected in AP’s statistical overview of his Anfield career. His exit also opens a broader transition for Liverpool as the club prepares for life after a player whose goals, durability and attacking output shaped an era. While his next destination remains unconfirmed, the immediate significance lies in the scale of the void he leaves behind at club level, in the league, and in the wider story of African representation at football’s highest level.

DRC submits its $24.8 billion 2027 budget to Parliament, with security and infrastructure priorities and a proposed expansion of free schooling through Year 8. Prime Minister Judith Suminwa has submitted the 2027 finance bill to the National Assembly, with security, infrastructure, agriculture, public-sector pay and social programs among the priorities. The government also plans to extend free basic education to the 7th and 8th years, although Parliament must still examine and approve the proposal. K INSHASA, Democratic Republic of the Congo — September 16, 2026 — The Democratic Republic of the Congo has formally sent its proposed 2027 national budget to Parliament, opening the legislative phase for a spending plan valued at about $24.8 billion. Prime Minister Judith Suminwa Tuluka deposited the draft finance law at the National Assembly on Tuesday, September 15, together with the 2025 budget-execution accountability bill. The Agence Congolaise de Presse (ACP) reported, citing the Prime Minister's office, that the version submitted to Parliament was valued at 56.929 trillion Congolese francs, equivalent to approximately $24.8 billion. That figure is slightly below the 57.5 trillion Congolese francs announced after the Council of Ministers approved the draft on September 11. The government has nevertheless consistently placed the dollar value of the plan at about $24.8 billion. The cabinet-approved version represented an increase of roughly 12% from the approximately $22 billion revised 2026 budget, according to ACP's report on the Council of Ministers decision . Suminwa described the proposal as a "budget of action and sovereignty", saying it is designed to convert government priorities into budgeted programs. Free basic education could expand to 7th and 8th years One of the most closely watched social measures in the 2027 budget process is the government's plan to extend the country's free basic-education policy to students in the 7th and 8th years. Government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya said during the budget-preparation process that extending free schooling to those two levels was among the priorities under consideration.

Government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya said during the budget-preparation process that extending free schooling to those two levels was among the priorities under consideration. Reporting by Opinion Info and other Congolese outlets said the measure was included among the social priorities of the proposed 2027 budget alongside universal health coverage. The available government communication has not yet specified how much money would be allocated specifically to financing the extension. ADVERTISEMENT The proposal also remains subject to parliamentary scrutiny and adoption. The submission of the finance bill to the National Assembly begins the legislative process rather than making every proposed measure final. Security and defence remain major priorities Security and defence are among the government's top spending priorities for 2027. Suminwa said the budget takes into account the need to support efforts to restore peace, particularly in eastern DRC, according to the ACP report on the parliamentary submission . The spending plan also includes priorities related to the purchasing power of households, agriculture and domestic production. The government says increased investment in agriculture and local production is intended to strengthen food supply and support household purchasing power. Public-sector remuneration is another area included in the proposal, with the government linking planned spending to commitments made under agreements with public-sector unions. Roads, airports and universities included Infrastructure is another major component of the proposed budget. Suminwa specifically cited roads, airports and universities among areas expected to receive public investment under the 2027 plan. The government has also presented infrastructure and other structural investments as part of a broader effort to support economic activity and improve public services. The cabinet account said allocations are expected to focus on security, infrastructure, social sectors, economic diversification and reconstruction in areas affected by conflict. ADVERTISEMENT Government targets $17.5 billion in domestic revenue Financing the budget will depend heavily on the government's ability to collect more revenue inside the country. According to the Council of Ministers account reported by ACP , projected current domestic revenue is equivalent to about $17.5 billion. The government is targeting a 12.8% tax-to-GDP ratio as it seeks to increase the state's financial autonomy. Projected external resources total close to $4 billion, including about $973 million in budget support and roughly $3 billion from bilateral and multilateral partners, according to the same cabinet account. Authorities say improved revenue collection will rely partly on reforms including greater digitalization of tax and revenue services, closer monitoring of standardized invoicing and improvements to value-added tax administration. Elections, population identification and national dialogue funded The proposed budget also includes money for several political and administrative processes expected to require public financing. Suminwa said provisions have been included for elections and the identification of the population, according to the Prime Minister's communication reported by ACP. The government also says funding has been incorporated for a proposed national dialogue. These expenditures will be examined alongside the rest of the finance bill as lawmakers begin reviewing the government's revenue assumptions and spending priorities.

ADVERTISEMENT Why two Congolese-franc figures are being reported Two slightly different Congolese-franc totals have appeared in official and media reporting around the 2027 proposal. After the September 11 Council of Ministers meeting, the government announced a balanced budget of 57.5 trillion CDF, equivalent to approximately $24.8 billion. When Suminwa deposited the bill at the National Assembly on September 15, the Prime Minister's office said the submitted text was valued at 56.929 trillion CDF, while still giving the dollar equivalent as approximately $24.8 billion. The publicly available communications reviewed by XTRAfrica do not explain the roughly 571 billion CDF difference between the cabinet figure and the amount cited at parliamentary submission. For that reason, the dollar figure of approximately $24.8 billion is the clearest consistent headline number, while the final Congolese-franc total should be confirmed from the finance bill itself as Parliament begins examining the text. Parliament now takes over The submission does not mean the budget has become law. The National Assembly must now examine the proposed revenues, expenditures and policy priorities before voting on the finance bill. The text will proceed through the remaining stages of the parliamentary budget process before a final budget can take effect for 2027. The proposed expansion of free schooling, infrastructure allocations and other programs may therefore still be modified during parliamentary review. If adopted near its current level, the 2027 budget would represent a significant increase from the revised 2026 spending plan and would place greater pressure on the government to meet its domestic-revenue targets.

Davido turned a FIFA World Cup performance into a call for the release of abducted schoolchildren and teachers from Oyo State. When most artists step onto a World Cup stage, the focus is usually on music, celebration, and spectacle. Davido had something else on his mind. The Nigerian superstar used his appearance at a FIFA World Cup event to shine a spotlight on the abduction of schoolchildren and teachers from Oyo State, transforming a high-profile performance into a moment of advocacy. According to reports , Davido appeared on stage wearing a custom-made jacket carrying the names of the kidnapped victims alongside a clear message: "Bring Them Home." The gesture immediately caught the attention of fans both inside the venue and online. As photos and videos from the performance spread across social media, many Nigerians praised the singer for using one of the world's biggest entertainment platforms to draw attention to a humanitarian issue unfolding back home. Rather than delivering a direct speech, Davido let the symbolism speak for itself. The message on his outfit served as a public appeal for the safe return of the victims while showing support for families still waiting for answers. The moment added a more serious tone to the World Cup celebrations. While football fans around the world were focused on the tournament , Davido reminded audiences that communities in Nigeria continue to face security challenges that rarely receive sustained international attention. Public reaction has been largely positive. Many supporters described the move as a powerful example of how artists can use their visibility to highlight issues that extend beyond music and entertainment. For Davido, it was more than a performance. It was an opportunity to place a national concern before a global audience and ensure that the voices of affected families were not lost amid the noise of one of the world's largest sporting events.

Under its broad canopy, you’ll often see photographers or kids posing in awe of its oddity. Though the fruit isn’t edible raw, it’s used across Africa in traditional medicine and even in brewing herbal skin tonics. In the garden, the sausage tree’s bright scarlet flowers attract bats at dusk, adding a touch of nocturnal theatre to Kinshasa’s green heart. Flanked by tall Euphorbia candelabrum (often mistaken for cacti), the path stretches through a corridor of tropical calm palms, manicured lawns, and bursts of color from flowering shrubs This serene walkway in the Kinshasa Botanical Garden is where the city seems to exhale. The benches, though modest, invite you to slow down and take in the rhythm of Kinshasa’s green lungs. Trending Now Kenya Court Orders Agencies to Produce Missing Lawyer Abshir Abdi .

Michael Jackson biopic “Michael” earns $217M globally, setting a new record for music biopics despite mixed critical reviews. The biographical film Michael , based on the life of global pop icon Michael Jackson , has recorded a major milestone at the global box office , earning approximately $217 million during its opening run. The film now holds the record for the biggest opening ever for a music biopic, surpassing previous high-performing titles such as Bohemian Rhapsody and Oppenheimer . J aafar Jackson , the late singer’s nephew, plays the lead role, portraying Jackson’s journey from his early years to global fame. The film also highlights his personal life, including his complex relationship with his father. Backed by Michael Jackson’s estate, the production incorporates the artist’s original vocals in several scenes, contributing to its authenticity. Directed by Antoine Fuqua , the film faced production challenges, including costly reshoots due to legal issues, which increased its budget to an estimated $200 million. Critical reception has been mixed, with some reviewers suggesting the film avoids certain controversial aspects of Jackson’s life. However, audience reception has been significantly stronger, with viewers giving it high approval ratings. Lionsgate chairman Adam Fogelson attributed the strong performance to broad audience appeal across multiple demographics, noting the film’s widespread popularity. The film’s success reflects a wider trend in Hollywood, where music biopics about major artists continue to perform strongly at the box office. Despite changes to the storyline during production — including the removal of references to certain allegations due to legal agreements — the final version focuses primarily on Jackson’s music career and iconic performances. The film continues to attract audiences worldwide, with its release in Japan still pending.

The UN has sanctioned Corneille Nangaa, AFC, Twirwaneho and senior M23, FDLR and ADF figures over the conflict in eastern DR Congo. The United Nations Security Council has added six individuals and two armed groups to its Democratic Republic of the Congo sanctions list, expanding international pressure on figures accused of undermining peace and security in the country. The new listings were approved on 14 July 2026 by the Security Council Committee established under Resolution 1533. The measures apply under Chapter VII of the UN Charter and include targeted restrictions such as asset freezes and travel bans. Among those sanctioned are Alliance Fleuve Congo leader Corneille Nangaa , M23 intelligence chief John Imani Nzenze , senior figures linked to the FDLR and ADF , and the commander of the Twirwaneho armed group. The UN also added two entities to the list: the Alliance Fleuve Congo , commonly known as AFC, and Twirwaneho . Corneille Nangaa and AFC added to UN sanctions list Corneille Nangaa Yobeluo was listed in his role as leader of the Alliance Fleuve Congo, a politico-military movement allied with the already sanctioned March 23 Movement, or M23. The UN sanctions notice identifies AFC as a movement operating in eastern DRC and records its establishment in 2023. Nangaa, a former president of the DRC’s electoral commission, later became the political leader of AFC, which works in alliance with M23. The addition of both Nangaa and AFC marks a significant escalation in international action against the coalition.

ADVERTISEMENT M23 intelligence chief John Imani Nzenze sanctioned The committee also sanctioned John Imani Nzenze , identified as a colonel and M23 intelligence chief. According to the UN listing, Nzenze is involved in planning, directing and supporting the activities of M23. M23 was already on the UN sanctions list before the latest decision. The addition of one of its senior intelligence figures increases pressure on the armed movement’s leadership structure. FDLR commanders added to the list Two senior figures connected to the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda were also sanctioned. Sébastien Uwimbabazi , described as a brigadier general and FDLR leader, was listed for engaging in or supporting acts that undermine peace, stability and security in the DRC. Gustave Kubwayo , also known as Sirkouf or Surcouf, was identified as an FDLR-FOCA commander. The UN said he was involved in planning and supporting armed-group activities, including attacks on civilians, kidnapping for ransom and the illegal exploitation of natural resources. ADF commander Muhammed Lumisa sanctioned The committee added Muhammed Lumisa , a Ugandan national described as an ADF commander, doctor and head of external logistics. ADVERTISEMENT The UN said Lumisa is involved in planning and supporting the Allied Democratic Forces’ activities and oversees the group’s external logistics. The ADF has operated in eastern DRC for years and has been blamed for repeated attacks on civilians. Twirwaneho commander and group sanctioned Charles Sematama , identified as a colonel and military leader of Twirwaneho, was added to the individual sanctions list. Twirwaneho itself was also sanctioned as an entity. The UN describes Twirwaneho as a Congolese armed group operating in the Hauts Plateaux of South Kivu. According to the listing, the group has been involved in atrocities, including civilian killings, child recruitment and activities threatening peace and security in the DRC.

ADVERTISEMENT The Security Council renewed the wider DRC sanctions framework in June 2026 until 1 July 2027 , while extending the mandate of the UN Group of Experts until 1 August 2027 . Pressure grows on armed networks in eastern DRC The latest decision targets individuals from several different armed networks rather than focusing on only one side of the conflict. The list includes figures associated with AFC, M23, FDLR, ADF and Twirwaneho. This reflects the UN’s broader approach of sanctioning individuals and organisations accused of contributing to violence, illegal resource exploitation and instability in eastern Congo. For the DRC government, the listing of Nangaa, AFC and an M23 intelligence chief represents an important international recognition of the threat posed by the coalition operating in the east. However, sanctions are effective only when member states identify assets, enforce travel restrictions and prevent listed actors from continuing to receive money, weapons or logistical support. Updated sanctions list now in force The names have been added to the UN Security Council’s consolidated sanctions system, which member states are required to implement. The July 2026 decision is one of the most significant recent expansions of the DRC sanctions list, placing renewed attention on the armed and political networks driving insecurity in eastern Congo.
