In a 15-minute pre-interview briefing, Veras presented graphic evidence of civilian suffering to highlight the human toll of the conflict in North and South Kivu, where M23 rebels—reportedly backed by Rwanda—control areas like Goma and recently clashed despite a ceasefire. Critics, including Rwanda-aligned voices, accused her of lobbying for the Congolese government, alleging unverified payments from President Tshisekedi and ignoring other atrocities like mass graves. Veras, a White House correspondent who has interviewed Tshisekedi, faces ongoing scrutiny but defends putting faces on the crisis that has displaced over 7 million.

In a France 24 interview, US Senior Adviser for Africa Massad Boulos expressed deep disappointment over M23's takeover of Uvira in South Kivu, calling it a clear violation of the June 2025 Washington Peace Accord ratified in December and witnessed by President Trump. The deal sought troop withdrawals, FDLR neutralization, and economic ties over Congo's minerals, but M23—backed by Rwanda according to Boulos—advanced after partial retreats under US pressure on President Kagame. Boulos accused Kagame of betraying Trump administration trust and hinted at tools like sanctions, amid decades-old conflict displacing thousands and fragile ceasefires like the February Doha framework.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

At the Munich Security Conference, Massad Boulos didn't hold back, pointing directly at Rwanda and M23 for reigniting violence in eastern Congo despite a hard-won US peace accord.

In February 2025, Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, leading the Department of Government Efficiency, slashed USAID contracts worth tens of billions, paused operations, and cut 1,600 staff, folding much into the State Department. Critics cite modeled estimates of millions of deaths by 2030 from halted aid like vaccines and food, with one post by Mohamad Safa drawing 22,000 likes by comparing the toll to Gaza's 45,000 and Ukraine's 600 child deaths. Defenders call USAID wasteful, with only 10-30 cents per dollar reaching recipients, while courts have ruled parts of the cuts unconstitutional and DOGE has since disbanded.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

One year after Elon Musk called USAID cuts feeding the agency into a 'woodchipper,' a post claims those moves have killed more children than in Gaza and Ukraine combined.

Undefeated knockout artist Ernesto 'Tito' Mercado (18-0, 17 KOs) and slick southpaw Frank Martin (19-1, 13 KOs) squared up face-to-face at Friday's weigh-ins in Las Vegas, ahead of Martin's fight tonight against Nahir Albright on the Mario Barrios-Ryan Garcia undercard.
