- Rwanda Calls Aid Access ‘Nonsense’
Scandal Rwanda's Nduhungirehe calls aid access without rebel approval its “nonsense,” exposing M23’s grip on aid. In a stunning diplomatic contradiction, France and Rwanda have exposed two starkly different truths about who is blocking the humanitarian reopening of Goma International Airport in eastern DRC. While French President Emmanuel Macron affirmed at the G20 Summit that the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has fulfilled all administrative and logistical requirements, a senior Rwandan foreign Minister official effectively admitted that rebel forces, M23, remain in control and must be involved. “We also identified key operational areas like the reopening of Goma airport. And I note that the effort has not been made by M23 or those who currently occupy the airport, even though the DRC has already taken all required administrative steps,” Macron said in Johannesburg. Rwanda Admits M23 Occupies Goma Airport Just days later, Rwandan Ambassador Olivier Nduhungirehe, speaking to Deutsche Welle Africa, declared: “Believing that we will open an airport without involving the authorities that hold this airport is nonsense.” This quote, now circulating widely on social media, confirms what Rwanda has long denied publicly: that M23, its armed proxy, is in control of key Congolese territory, and that Kigali sees them as the legitimate gatekeepers to humanitarian access. This statement doesn’t just contradict Macron, it exposes Rwanda’s active obstruction of peace and aid delivery to a region already facing mass displacement and civilian suffering. DRC: Lawful, Cooperative, and Ready President Félix Tshisekedi’s government, backed by international law and multiple peace agreements (Luanda, Nairobi, and the June 27 Washington Accord), has done its part. The Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation approved all technical and humanitarian protocols for the reopening of Goma Airport weeks ago. France’s public support only confirms what UN reports, SADC envoys, and AU mediators have already documented: DRC seeks peace and sovereignty, while Rwanda continues to destabilize and deny access.

France’s public support only confirms what UN reports, SADC envoys, and AU mediators have already documented: DRC seeks peace and sovereignty, while Rwanda continues to destabilize and deny access. The Real Stakes: Humanitarian Aid and Sovereignty Over 1.5 million civilians in eastern Congo rely on humanitarian corridors for survival. Goma Airport is the central artery for medical supplies, food aid, and emergency relief. By making its reopening conditional on M23’s blessing, Rwanda is openly weaponizing access to aid.

- MTN plans to launch a bank, leveraging MoMo's success, as SARB opens the payment system to fintechs. | Xtrafrica Media Group https://static.wixstatic.com/media/436149_9f5934bb8bee4067b949097ba12fed09~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_800,h_450,al_c,q_80/mtn%20hq-Picture-Timothy-Bernard-African-News-Agency-ANA.jpeg
MTN plans to launch a bank, leveraging MoMo's success, as SARB opens the payment system to fintechs. Dec 15, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link MTN-headquarters in Fairlands 14th-avenue Johannesburg MTN is planning to get a banking licence when the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) allows fintechs and other non-banking companies to access the national payments system, as reported by Business Times . Currently, MTN offers limited banking-like services through its MoMo (Mobile Money) platform. This service allows users to make payments and transfer money using their phone numbers instead of traditional bank account numbers. MoMo focuses on small businesses like spaza shops and low-income customers who often use cash. For now, MTN relies on African Bank as a partner since it doesn’t have its own banking licence. Recently, TechCentral reported that SARB is working on new regulations to let fintechs directly access the core clearing and settlements system. Tim Masela, head of the SARB’s National Payments System department, explained: “We believe that we should move with the times and open up the system for the entry of non-banks.” MTN South Africa’s fintech officer, Kagiso Mothibi, confirmed that fintechs will soon be able to join the banking system under new rules. “When that is rolled out, we’ll definitely be looking to pursue our own licence,” he told Business Times . SARB is working on frameworks to regulate fintechs and non-banking companies while balancing innovation and financial risk. Mothibi also highlighted that getting a banking licence would give MTN more control over its banking services. MTN’s goal is to make MoMo a low-cost banking option for users. The platform has grown to 11 million registered users, with three million active customers. Recent improvements to MoMo include launching business wallets and international money transfers in September 2023. In February 2024, MTN partnered with Mastercard to give MoMo users virtual and physical cards for payments worldwide. Mastercard also invested $200 million in MTN Group Fintech, boosting its growth.These upgrades helped MTN’s fintech revenue grow by 59.1% in the first half of 2024 and by 61.8% in the third quarter compared to 2023. MTN is not the only telecom company focusing on financial services. Vodacom is expanding its offerings with platforms like VodaPay and M-Pesa, Africa’s leading mobile money service. The shift to financial services helps telecom companies reduce their reliance on traditional cellular revenue, which has slowed due to cheaper data, better network access, and growing competition.

Uganda is on the brink of embracing the Single Africa Air Transport Market (SAATM), indicating a significant departure from its previous cautious stance on open skies. Fred Bamwesigye, the Director-General of Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCCA), highlighted that the nation's entry into SAATM is imminent, pending Cabinet approval. This move is expected to catalyze Uganda's aviation sector by enhancing connectivity and competitiveness, with the development of key infrastructures like Kabalega International Airport and the upgrade of Entebbe International Airport being pivotal for accommodating the anticipated surge in air traffic. The integration into SAATM is seen as a strategic step to bolster Uganda Airlines by expanding its network to major destinations such as Nigeria, Mumbai, South Africa, and the UAE. This expansion is facilitated by comprehensive consultations and agreements with stakeholders and the continental industry regulator, aiming to leverage the benefits of air market liberalization. The liberalization promises to unlock route access through the 5th Freedom rights, crucial for augmenting Africa's air transport connectivity. Despite concerns about the competitive impact on national carriers, the liberalization under SAATM is anticipated to yield significant benefits in the long run, akin to Morocco's experience with open skies in Europe. The initiative aligns with the goals of the 1999 Yamoussoukro Declaration, aiming to liberalize market access, ease ownership restrictions, and harmonize aviation safety and security standards. Uganda's accession to SAATM represents a commitment to enhancing intra-African connectivity, reducing airfares, and streamlining air travel across the continent.

- Mask of Betrayal Falls”: Paluku Exposes Kabila’s ‘Sudanization’ Claim
Paluku responds to Kabila’s Goma interview, warning against narratives that threaten Congo’s unity and sovereignty Mask of Betrayal Falls”: Paluku Exposes Kabila’s ‘Sudanization’ Claim as a Tool of National Destabilization Kinshasa — March 23, 2026, Following Joseph Kabila’s i nterview with Belgium’s La Libre from Goma, Minister Julien Paluku responded by questioning both the timing and the message behind the former president’s remarks. The interview, published on March 23, coincides with a date closely associated with the M23 rebellion, which first emerged in 2009. For Paluku, that detail is difficult to ignore. An Interview from Goma Kabila chose to speak from Goma, a city currently under the control of M23. In his response, Paluku points out that the former president’s presence there, combined with his statements, raises concerns about the broader context of the interview. He argues that Kabila’s remarks reflect more than personal opinion, especially given the ongoing security situation in eastern Congo. Three Key Takeaways Paluku structures his reaction around three main points: Rupture: He suggests that Kabila’s statements reveal a break with the past, showing what he describes as the end of a political system that had long operated behind the scenes.

ADVERTISEMENT He argues that Kabila’s remarks reflect more than personal opinion, especially given the ongoing security situation in eastern Congo. Three Key Takeaways Paluku structures his reaction around three main points: Rupture: He suggests that Kabila’s statements reveal a break with the past, showing what he describes as the end of a political system that had long operated behind the scenes. Sovereignty: On the issue of “Sudanization,” Paluku rejects the idea that Congo is heading toward fragmentation. Instead, he calls for unity and support behind President Félix Tshisekedi. Vigilance: He also calls on people in North Kivu, South Kivu, and across the country to remain alert to what he describes as ongoing attempts to destabilize the nation. On ‘Sudanization’ Kabila warned that Congo risks becoming like Sudan, a country that split after years of conflict. ADVERTISEMENT Paluku dismisses that comparison. According to him, the idea does not reflect the current reality and risks creating unnecessary fear. He instead frames it as a narrative that could weaken public confidence and national cohesion. READ ALSO : Kabila’s Goma Interview Exposes a Weak Return, and Rwanda’s Struggles Congolese Unity Paluku urges Congolese citizens to remain united, especially at a time when the country is dealing with security challenges in the east.

ADVERTISEMENT Beyond the immediate response, Paluku’s statement carries a broader message: that political narratives, especially when delivered from sensitive locations like Goma, can have real consequences. He warns against messages that could deepen divisions or complicate efforts toward stability. “The House Was Infiltrated” Paluku ends with a reflection on the 2019 transition of power, saying it helped Congolese people better understand the political landscape. “The house was infiltrated,” he states, suggesting that recent events are now bringing those dynamics into the open.
