The hold out juror being a black man is not what anyone would've thought. But it does put respect on the black man, who is often disregarded in society. It's definitely a high moment for us
Chers Congolais,
Merci 🇨🇩❤️
Nous avons porté les couleurs de notre pays avec fierté et quitté cette Coupe du Monde la tête haute.
Merci au peuple congolais et à toute la diaspora pour votre soutien sans faille.
Ce n’est que le début.
#ThankYouJesus
🚨 LE COUP DE GUEULE DE YANNICK BOLASIE 🇨🇩 SUR LA DÉCISION DE LA FIFA CONCERNANT FOLARIN BALOGUN 🇺🇸 :
« Si c’était la CAN et qu’un joueur était autorisé à jouer malgré un carton rouge, ON ENTENDRAIT UN NOMBRE DE BÊTISES HALLUCINANT. » 😤
📲 Compte X
Congo doesn't deserve to be in the conversation about what happened with Ivory Coast and especially Senegal.
They came to the world cup after 52 years and showed that they are serious about the competition.
They just genuinely lost to England.
These African teams all ultimately lost to European teams after conceding at the 86th minute 🤔
Unlucky timing for the Ivory Coast, DR Congo and Senegal 😔
Fier de ce groupe tout entier , Fier d’avoir porté les couleurs de la RDC sur la plus grande scène mondiale avec cœur et courage 🇨🇩❤️ . Aujourd’hui la déception est grande , mais l’image qu’on laisse du football congolais et africain reste plus importante .
We’ll be back 🙌🏾🇨🇩
Michel Nkuka Mboladinga, known as Lumumba Vea, gained fame during the Africa Cup of Nations for posing as a statue of Congo’s assassinated independence leader Patrice Lumumba for the entirety of games
Lumumba was an activist who helped to end Belgium’s colonial rule over Congo in 1960. He became the newly independent country’s first prime minister and was seen as one of Africa’s most promising leaders, but he was assassinated within a year during a struggle against a Belgian-backed secessionist movement in the mineral-rich Katanga region.
A Belgian court in March ordered a 93-year-old former diplomat to stand trial for the slaying. Etienne Davignon, who previously denied wrongdoing, is the last living among 10 Belgians suspected of involvement in the killing and has been charged with “participation in war crimes” for his role in the “unlawful detention and transfer” of Lumumba.

Incident survenu le 24 mars 2026 à Washington D.C.
Washington D.C., le 25 mars 2026 - Une tentative d’intrusion de ressortissants rwandais dans les quartiers de la Première Dame de la RDC a été interceptée et empêchée par le dispositif de sécurité en place.
Cette atteinte grave à la sécurité d’une haute personnalité congolaise, présente aux États-Unis à l’invitation de ses homologues américains, a été immédiatement signalée aux autorités compétentes, qui ont été saisies afin de faire toute la lumière sur ces faits.
Au regard des circonstances, cet incident ne saurait être banalisé ni réduit à un simple malentendu. Il s’inscrit dans un contexte où certains comportements déjà documentés d’acteurs étatiques, en matière d’actions extraterritoriales et de ciblage d’individus, appellent à la plus grande vigilance et à une appréciation rigoureuse des faits. Nous saluons la réactivité des autorités locales.
The response from @RwandaInUSA below is a work of fiction. The @PaulKagame regime is skilled at lying and then playing the victim when caught committing a crime. In this case, it concerns a possible bugging, assassination, or intimidation attempt against the First Lady of the DRC (@DeniseNyakeru)
while on United States soil.
The calm picture the #Kagame regime is trying to paint is in stark contrast to the violent struggle that reportedly took place when a suspected Rwandan agent was found outside the First Lady’s hotel room attempting to gain entry. The regime’s alleged hit team and alleged kill list is something that even Rwandan opposition leaders in exile live in fear of every day. Below is a short list of Rwandan opposition leaders reported assassinated:
Patrick Karegeya was strangled in his South African hotel room in 2013
Seth Sendashonga was shot in 1998
Andre Kagwa Rwisereka was found nearly decapitated in 2010
Syldio Dusabumuremyi was stabbed in 2019
Seif Bamporiki was shot in 2021.
The @realDonaldTrump should understand that Kagame operates with unchecked power, and that those he perceives as problems are dealt with decisively. It does not matter whether the target is a pro-democracy activist or the First Lady of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
