Dr. Congo’s Rising Star: Fally Ipupa Receives the National Order of the Leopard

Police have launched a major probe after receiving tips from agencies in England and Germany that several women may have been drugged by people in their close circles and sexually assaulted on camera. The suspects, identified through private online groups that shared how to drug victims and circulate abuse imagery, were arrested following raids on eight homes. Authorities seized computers, USB sticks, SD cards, phones, drugs and weapons, and are still determining how many women were targeted. The case has been compared by Dutch media to a notorious French abuse scenario involving a husband who repeatedly drugged and raped his wife.

Hezbollah has withdrawn its approval to a United States‑backed ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon, arguing it undermines the country’s sovereignty and cheapens the value of lives lost. The condemnation comes after the US, Israel and Lebanon signed a fragile truce stipulating the removal of Hezbollah fighters from a 30‑kilometre zone near the Litani River and the establishment of pilot security zones to be controlled exclusively by Lebanese forces. The deal is still unfinished, and the United Nations reported earlier casualties, yet the rejection indicates a possible escalation that will further threaten fragile ecosystems, strains on displaced communities, and climate‑adaptation efforts across the region.

The European Court of Justice’s verdict last month invalidated Hungary’s law banning public LGBTQ events, leading prosecutors to drop charges against Mayor Gergely Karácsony for his role in organising Budapest’s 2025 Pride march.  The 2025 event ran against President Viktor Orbán’s 2020 decree banning such gatherings, yet drew an estimated 200,000 participants.  The decision arrived nine days after Hungary’s long‑time leader was voted out and Péter Magyar sworn in as new prime minister, signalling a potential shift towards more inclusive governance that may help support broader social and environmental resilience.  With the court’s ruling, the prosecution cited that it “conflicts with EU law on equality and minority rights,” and reaffirmed the mayor’s right to organise lawful assemblies.
