AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Ebola Crisis in the DRC: The WHO says the 2026 Ebola outbreak in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo has surged past 1,000 suspected cases (1,077), with 121 confirmed and 17 deaths, as insecurity and displacement in Ituri, North Kivu and South Kivu disrupt contact tracing and fuel mistrust. Regional Security Cooperation: In a sign of tighter sub-regional coordination, a Congolese defense deputy prime minister visited Burundi (Gitega/Bujumbura) for closed-door talks on border security and military cooperation amid the wider eastern DRC crisis. Burundi–Switzerland Returns Under Scrutiny: Swiss forced deportations of Burundian asylum seekers are being challenged by civil society and legal experts, who warn that procedural checks may still violate non-refoulement if Burundi risk assessments are incomplete. EAC Digital Integration: East African regulators are drafting new EAC rules to harmonise mobile roaming, cut cross-border communication costs, and strengthen consumer protection. Public Health Preparedness: Kenya approved a US quarantine facility for Ebola-exposed Americans, while multiple countries issued travel advisories and tightened screening as the outbreak spreads. Local Governance & Safety: Burundi also saw a reported prison-related death after a violent arrest linked to Imbonerakure, alongside a separate machete killing in Bubanza tied to a domestic dispute.
