Bally Bagayoko presented Lula's victory in Brazil as a sign that popular mobilization could defend dignity, rights, democracy, and the future. He described it as a victory of hope, social justice, and resistance to the rise of the far right. He called on France to open a new political perspective in 2027, in the face of inequalities, racism, and the normalization of far-right ideas. He advocated for a social, democratic, and ecological break and called to carry this ambition with Jean-Luc Mélenchon, for an anti-fascist and anti-racist France, placing people and solidarity before profits and privileges, in his view. Bagayoko added that change became possible when peoples united and mobilized. #Lula #Démocratie #JusticeSociale (translated)
Baloo defended the necessity of better understanding France's colonial and migratory history and called for the fight against racism. He reminded that Italians also suffered racism in France, citing the massacre of Italians in Aigues-Mortes in 1893, and that people of Asian descent were also victims of discrimination. He mentioned the experiences of several colonized peoples or recruited workers. According to him, Algeria had been colonized for 132 years and integrated into France as departments, despite unequal rights. He also stated that Algerians had been recruited to work in factories and on construction sites, sometimes in slums, and that the French army had tortured, raped, and killed civilians during the Algerian war. He wrote that Senegalese and Malians had been enlisted in the French armies, sometimes by force, before being employed in sectors such as mining and construction. He added that agreements had been signed as early as 1963 to bring in Moroccan and Tunisian workers. Baloo also mentioned colonial slavery in the Antilles and Réunion, abolished in 1848, and then the creation of BUMIDOM in 1963 to organize the departure of people to the mainland. He emphasized that these people were already French. Regarding Congo, he attributed forced labor and atrocities that would have caused millions of victims to the reign of Leopold II, King of the Belgians. He estimated that the effects of domination and exploitation persist, particularly in the inequalities in overseas territories and the debates about monetary sovereignty around the CFA franc. However, he clarified that he did not hold today's French responsible for the actions of their ancestors but deemed it necessary to understand this history. Reflecting on his childhood in Montfermeil and the documentary he had made about the town, Baloo stated that in the 1980s, the mayor refused enrollment in school for children from immigrant families. He also described neighborhoods marked, in his opinion, by degraded housing, insufficient infrastructure, and limited prospects. He believed that misery and exclusion could foster certain deviations, without excusing delinquency, and reminded that these neighborhoods also saw the emergence of professionals and artists. Finally, he denounced what he saw as a contradictory treatment of French people of immigrant descent: celebrated as French during World Cup victories but sent back to their origins when they claimed rights or denounced racism. He concluded that no one should have to justify their place in the country where they were born. #Histoire #Éducation #Racisme (translated)

Black PANTHÈR relayed a text signed by Trésor MWAKA, an investigative journalist and member of a communication cell, who questioned why the general director of ARSP, Ted BELESHAYI, was criticizing his predecessor Miguel KASHAL KATEMB instead of delivering results for Congolese entrepreneurs. The text stated that Ted BELESHAYI's remarks during a Space Live event with journalist Stanis BUJAKERA on October 20, 2026, had sparked controversies. According to the text, during the three years and eight months of Miguel KASHAL's management, no salary arrears were reportedly recorded, and the medical expenses of staff were covered. It also disputed the figure of 80 attestations put forward by the current director, claiming that their numbering had increased from 4,100 in January 2023 to 16,800 in February 2026. The number of eligible subcontractors would, according to him, have grown from 4,000 companies in 2023 to over 16,000 in January 2026. The text also credited Miguel KASHAL's management with contributing to the development of the local content law, the revision of the subcontracting law, enhancing market transparency, and combating front persons. It indicated that ARSP had expanded its activities to hydrocarbons, aviation, and telecommunications. In June 2025, Minister Louis WATUM KABAMBA reportedly mentioned nearly 1,400 contracts awarded to Congolese companies, worth over $2 billion, benefiting about 800 entrepreneurs. Trésor MWAKA asked Ted BELESHAYI to publish the names of the companies and data supporting his claim that $20 billion had been paid to ineligible companies. The text also mentioned the VUNGA 1 program, developed with RAWBANK, which planned financing of $200 million for local entrepreneurs, aiming to reach $1 billion in subsequent phases. Finally, he criticized the current director for not prioritizing work, transparency, and the continuity of public service. #RDC #Entrepreneuriat #Transparence (translated)
Treasurer Mwaka contested the statements made by the General Director of the ARSP, Ted BELESHAYI, during a Space Live event hosted by journalist Stanis BUJAKERA on October 20, 2026. He defended the record of his predecessor, Miguel KASHAL KATEMB, and requested Ted BELESHAYI to publish the elements supporting his accusations. According to Mwaka, no salary arrears had been recorded during the 3 years and 8 months of Miguel KASHAL KATEMB's management, and the staff had benefited from medical coverage. He disputed the figure of 80 attestations put forward by the General Director, claiming that their numbering had increased from 4,100 in January 2023 to 16,800 in February 2026. The number of eligible subcontracting companies, according to him, had grown from 4,000 in 2023 to more than 16,000 in January 2026. Mwaka also attributed to the ARSP, under the leadership of Miguel KASHAL KATEMB, a contribution to the development of the local content law, the revision of the subcontracting law, the strengthening of market transparency, and the fight against front companies. He indicated that the institution had expanded its activities to hydrocarbons, aviation, and telecommunications. He recalled that in June 2025, Minister Louis WATUM KABAMBA mentioned nearly 1,400 contracts awarded to Congolese companies, amounting to over 2 billion dollars, benefiting around 800 entrepreneurs. Mwaka asked Ted BELESHAYI to publish the names of the companies involved and the data justifying his claim that 20 billion dollars had been paid to ineligible companies. He also mentioned the VUNGA 1 program, developed with RAWBANK, which he claimed provided 200 million dollars in funding for local entrepreneurs, with the prospect of reaching one billion dollars in subsequent phases. Finally, Mwaka stated that Miguel KASHAL KATEMB did not make his predecessor a public target when he took over the ARSP in 2022. He called on the current General Director to prioritize work, transparency, and continuity of public service for the benefit of Congolese entrepreneurs. #ARSP #Transparence #EntrepreneuriatCongolais (translated)

Guillaume Champeau has provided a very critical assessment of ten years of Macronist power. He stated that shopkeepers were being encouraged to hire private security agents, as the police, according to him, were no longer able to protect them from riots, and that the French could only demonstrate with state-approved unions. He also denounced the degradation of hospitals and public services, the decline of the National Education system, and a 17-point increase in public debt compared to the rest of the eurozone. He claimed that 13% of the French said they could not eat their fill and accused the government of asking intelligence services to lie about the political opposition to hold it responsible for the riots. Finally, he mentioned an extreme-right party at the gates of power, a media landscape that normalizes racism and Islamophobia, a diplomacy unable to defend French values, and a deepening impoverishment with no prospects for improvement. #Macronie #CrisePolitique #France (translated)
