DRC's Justice Ministry confirms Denise Dusauchoy was arrested in Tanzania on August 30 under a Congolese judicial warrant and international cooperation. KINSHASA, Democratic Republic of the Congo — August 31, 2026 — The DRC Ministry of Justice and Keeper of the Seals has officially confirmed the arrest of Denise Dusauchoy in Tanzania, saying the operation was carried out under international judicial cooperation between Congolese and Tanzanian authorities. According to Communiqué No. 0031/CAB/ME/MIN/J&GS/2026, Dusauchoy was arrested on August 30, 2026, by the competent Tanzanian authorities in execution of an arrest warrant issued by judicial authorities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The ministry said the arrest follows judicial proceedings connected to criminal cases currently under investigation. It also revealed that in October and November 2025, the Prosecutor General at the Court of Cassation sent three international letters rogatory to Belgian judicial authorities concerning criminal cases opened by the Kinshasa/Gombe prosecutor's office involving Dusauchoy and other individuals. According to the statement, international arrest warrants had also been issued as part of those proceedings. The Justice Ministry praised what it described as the “quality and effectiveness” of cooperation between Congolese and Tanzanian authorities, saying that cooperation allowed the judicial measure to be executed while respecting applicable procedures. Kinshasa also thanked Tanzanian authorities for their cooperation and reaffirmed the DRC's intention to strengthen international judicial cooperation in the fight against impunity and for the effectiveness of justice. Importantly, the ministry stressed that the arrest is a procedural judicial measure and does not determine Dusauchoy's guilt. She remains presumed innocent until a final judicial decision is issued. The communiqué was issued in Kinshasa on August 31, 2026, by the Communication Unit of the DRC Ministry of Justice and Keeper of the Seals.

Bunia, Democratic Republic of Congo - The serene village of Galayi, situated 70 km northwest of Bunia in the Ituri province, fell victim to a horrendous attack, culminating in a tragic death toll of 25. The latest count was confirmed following the discovery of 15 additional victims on Sunday, adding to the initial 10 fatalities reported the previous day. Local authorities and civil society representatives have expressed their deep condolences and outrage over the incident. The Cooperative for the Development of the Congo (CODECO), a militia known for its violent activities in the tumultuous eastern regions of the DRC, has been identified as the perpetrator behind this appalling act. The attack has not only shocked local communities but has also drawn condemnation from international bodies and human rights organizations. According to a recent report by the United Nations Joint Human Rights Office (UNJHRO), the human rights landscape in Ituri has seen a marked deterioration since the year's start, primarily attributed to the increasing aggressions by CODECO. The United Nations peacekeeping mission has further highlighted the critical role of CODECO and the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) in the surge of civilian casualties in the area, underscoring the urgent need for intensified peacekeeping efforts. Jules Ngongo, the spokesperson for the Ituri provincial governor, has vowed that the perpetrators will face justice, signaling a firm governmental stance against such acts of violence. This incident underscores the fragile security situation in eastern DRC and the imperative for comprehensive strategies to address the root causes of conflict and ensure the safety of vulnerable communities. In light of this tragedy, our thoughts are with the victims' families and all those affected by the ongoing violence in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The international community, along with local stakeholders, must unite in their efforts to restore peace and order in the region, ensuring that such acts of brutality do not recur.

Burundi’s nickel deal with U.S. firms puts Great Lakes strategic minerals back in focus. Burundi’s new nickel agreement with U.S. mining-linked partners is doing more than opening a commercial file in Washington. It is pushing Burundi more clearly into the wider strategic contest over critical minerals in the Great Lakes region, where control of supply chains, project financing and geopolitical influence increasingly overlap . According to the reported signing, Burundi formalized a strategic arrangement around its nickel resources on March 10, 2026, in Washington. Publicly available reporting confirms that Lifezone Metals signed an exclusivity agreement with the Burundian government over the Musongati nickel project, a deposit the company describes as part of the broader East African Nickel Belt. That matters beyond Burundi alone. As governments and companies race to secure long-term access to battery and industrial metals, Musongati gives Burundi a more visible place in the regional minerals map. Recent reporting has also linked U.S.-Burundi discussions around Musongati to efforts to strengthen critical mineral supply chains, suggesting the project is being viewed not just as a mining asset, but as part of a larger strategic alignment . The regional implication is straightforward: Burundi is trying to convert mineral potential into diplomatic and economic leverage at a time when East and Central Africa are drawing sharper international attention for resource security. In that sense, the agreement is not only about future extraction. It is also about who helps shape the next layer of mineral partnerships in the Great Lakes, and under what political and commercial terms. This is especially notable because Lifezone said the exclusivity arrangement gives it a set period to assess and advance project development at Musongati . One point remains less clear in the current public record: while the main source names KoBold Metals as part of the agreement, the clearest additional reporting I found publicly confirms Lifezone’s role much more directly than KoBold’s. That means the KoBold element should be treated cautiously unless backed by a separate official statement or company release.

Fernando da Cruz says Khanyisa Mayo is progressing towards a Kaizer Chiefs return. Here is what his comments confirm and what remains undecided. SOUTH AFRICA — 2 November 2026: Kaizer Chiefs coach Fernando da Cruz says Khanyisa Mayo is moving closer to being ready for action, but was not physically prepared for the Soweto Derby against Orlando Pirates on 31 October. The assessment, reported by FARPost on 1 November , offers encouragement about the forward’s progress without identifying a comeback fixture. Chiefs lost the derby 2–1, and the coach’s explanation concerned Mayo’s readiness for that match. When will Khanyisa Mayo return for Kaizer Chiefs? Da Cruz’s reported post-derby update does not give a return date. He says Mayo is getting closer but was not physically ready for the Pirates match. The comments describe progress; they do not confirm clearance, selection or an appearance in the next fixture. What Da Cruz said about Mayo Mayo’s fitness was the central issue in the coach’s explanation . Da Cruz described him as a quality player who was approaching readiness, while stressing that the derby’s physical demands were beyond what he could handle at that point. “Mayo is not far,” the coach said, according to iDiski Times.That is a positive assessment, but it has a limited meaning. It does not specify how much further preparation Mayo needs, the number of minutes he could play or whether he would return as a starter or substitute. For supporters, the distinction is between an improving player and an available player. Da Cruz’s comments explain the decision to leave him out against Pirates; they do not announce the next selection decision. Mayo and Ighodaro face different questions Da Cruz also discussed Etiosa Ighodaro, but his explanation for the Nigerian forward centred on understanding the team’s playing approach.

ADVERTISEMENT For supporters, the distinction is between an improving player and an available player. Da Cruz’s comments explain the decision to leave him out against Pirates; they do not announce the next selection decision. Mayo and Ighodaro face different questions Da Cruz also discussed Etiosa Ighodaro, but his explanation for the Nigerian forward centred on understanding the team’s playing approach. The South African’s account of the remarks separates Mayo’s physical preparation from Ighodaro’s tactical adaptation. The coach sees both as possible attacking options, with different work still required before they can contribute as intended. Those explanations should not be merged into a claim that both players have the same injury problem. Nor do the comments establish a falling-out or a decision to discard either forward. Da Cruz linked his selection demands to the intensity of matches against Pirates, including opponents’ ability to introduce fresh players late in a game. His assessment puts the emphasis on being able to cope with the contest, rather than simply having another recognised name available. ADVERTISEMENT Chiefs made Mayo’s move permanent in July Mayo’s position at the club is clearer than his immediate return timetable. Chiefs announced his permanent signing on 23 July 2026 , following his loan from Algerian club CR Belouizdad. The club said the transfer fee was undisclosed. Its announcement presented Mayo as part of the squad being assembled under Da Cruz for domestic and continental competition. That July announcement is important context: the current story concerns the fitness of a player Chiefs have already signed permanently. It is not a new transfer announcement, and his absence should not be confused with an unresolved move. The permanent deal establishes the club’s commitment at that stage. It does not guarantee a starting place or remove the need for the coach to assess his readiness for each match. The derby result adds urgency, not a medical timetable FARPost reports that Mayo had not made a competitive appearance under Da Cruz this season as he continued his recovery. It identifies Wandile Duba, Flavio Silva and Luke Baartman among the forwards who have carried attacking responsibilities in his absence. Chiefs’ derby defeat provides the immediate setting for the questions about their options. It does not, by itself, tell the coaching staff when Mayo can safely or effectively return.

ADVERTISEMENT XTRAfrica previously covered Baartman’s withdrawal during South Africa U23’s October match against Algeria . That earlier report concerns a separate player and event; it should not be used as a current assessment of either forward’s availability. What would confirm a comeback? The next useful update would be an explicit availability statement from Chiefs or Da Cruz, followed by Mayo’s inclusion in an announced matchday squad. Even selection on the bench would establish availability for that fixture, not a guarantee that he will play. Supporters should therefore distinguish three developments: progress in preparation, selection for a match and an actual return to competitive minutes. For now, the coach’s message is encouraging but incomplete on timing. Mayo is getting closer, while the date and circumstances of his next appearance remain unannounced in the post-derby update.

Lizzy Anjorin agrees to fight Iyabo Ojo but sets condition, asking promoter to face her husband in a boxing match first Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has agreed to a proposed celebrity boxing match with fellow actress Iyabo Ojo, but with a condition involving the event’s promoter. The bout, which has been under discussion for nearly two years, could move forward if Anjorin’s demand is met. In a post shared on Instagram, Anjorin said she would only participate in the fight if promoter Paul Okoye, also known as Paulo, agrees to face her husband, Chief Lawal, in a 10-round boxing match. According to her, the proposed match between her and Iyabo Ojo would take place the day after the bout involving Okoye and her husband. “As at today, I accept your challenge. You and Chief Lawal will fight 10 rounds non-stop in the ring. Then the next day, it will be Iyabo Ojo and me in the ring,” she stated. The fight was initially proposed in 2024 with a reported prize, but did not materialise at the time due to ongoing tensions between the actresses. Anjorin also challenged Ojo and Okoye to present verifiable proof of their assets and achievements, as part of ongoing exchanges linked to their long-standing feud. The renewed proposal has reignited public interest in a potential celebrity boxing match between the two actresses.

In a post shared on Instagram, Anjorin said she would only participate in the fight if promoter Paul Okoye, also known as Paulo, agrees to face her husband, Chief Lawal, in a 10-round boxing match. ADVERTISEMENT According to her, the proposed match between her and Iyabo Ojo would take place the day after the bout involving Okoye and her husband. “As at today, I accept your challenge. You and Chief Lawal will fight 10 rounds non-stop in the ring. Then the next day, it will be Iyabo Ojo and me in the ring,” she stated. ADVERTISEMENT The fight was initially proposed in 2024 with a reported prize, but did not materialise at the time due to ongoing tensions between the actresses. Anjorin also challenged Ojo and Okoye to present verifiable proof of their assets and achievements, as part of ongoing exchanges linked to their long-standing feud. The renewed proposal has reignited public interest in a potential celebrity boxing match between the two actresses. Trending Now US and Egypt Sign First $125m Mutual Prosperity Deal .
