Today marks the government’s deadline for foreign mining companies to comply with local ownership requirements, part of a broader effort to increase Congolese participation in the country’s mining industry.

The move reflects DR Congo’s push to ensure that more value from its vast mineral resources remains within the country, while strengthening the role of local investors and businesses in the mining sector. Companies that fail to meet the new requirements could face regulatory consequences as the government seeks greater control and transparency in one of Africa’s most important mining industries.

Children of Blood and Bone is sparking a global conversation.

While many are celebrating its African-inspired story and international spotlight, some Nigerians and Africans have questioned its representation — from accents and cultural details to concerns that it reinforces a familiar fantasy version of Africa rather than showcasing the continent’s depth and diversity.

Others see it as a powerful opportunity to bring African stories and mythology to a wider audience.

With Nigerian actor Richard Mofe-Damijo among the cast, the debate continues: How do we balance global storytelling with cultural authenticity?

HE’S BACK. 🥊

Anthony Joshua (anthonyjoshua) survived two first-round knockdowns to stop Albanian puncher Kristian Prenga in round two, sealing his first win since December and his first fight since the car crash in Nigeria earlier this year that took the lives of two of his closest friends, Sina Ghami and Latif “Latz” Ayodele.

Two knockdowns. One knockout. Business unfinished.
