China has introduced strict new regulations for online influencers.

Under the new rules, content creators must possess a relevant university degree or professional certification before they can discuss specialized topics such as medicine, finance, education, law, or health. The policy, issued by the Cyberspace Administration of China, aims to curb misinformation and raise the overall quality of online content.

Influencers wishing to cover these subjects on platforms like Douyin, Weibo, and Bilibili are now required to submit proof of their qualifications. Platforms are responsible for verifying credentials and removing any non-compliant content.

Violators face significant penalties, including fines of up to 100,000 yuan (approximately $14,000), account suspension, or permanent bans.

While supporters view the measure as a necessary step to protect the public from misleading or harmful advice, critics argue that it could restrict free expression and limit diverse voices online.

The regulation reflects China’s broader effort to tighten control over digital content and establish higher standards of credibility in the influencer economy.

« Appelez vos frères qui se trouvent encore dans les forêts, là-bas, à se désolidariser des #FDLR.

Ce sont les FDLR qui sont à l'origine de cette situation. Ce sont des Rwandais, pas des Congolais. Combien de temps allez-vous continuer à les suivre ?

Nous sommes Congolais, et notre armée n'a pas vocation à partir ailleurs. nous allons traquer ces individus, traverser la rivière qui coule en contrebas et les repousser jusqu'à Walikale.»

✅Six Rwandan entrepreneurs were selected among the Africa Business Heroes (ABH) 2026 Top 100 entrepreneurs, a competition backed by the Jack Ma Foundation that celebrates Africa most promising business leaders.

✅The six Rwandans are Blandine Umuziranenge of Kosmotive, David Kamugundu of eFiche Ltd, Hinda Ruton of Africa Quantitative Sciences, Marie Ange Mukagahima of ZIMA Healthy Group, Youssef Travaly of EDPU Digital Clinic, and Sharon Akanyana of Ishyo Foods.

✅Their selection comes after a highly competitive process that attracted more than 24,000 applications from all 54 African countries.

✅Rwanda's six representatives were selected from sectors ranging from health technology and data science to food processing and innovation-driven enterprises, reflecting the country's increasingly diverse entrepreneurial landscape.

The achievement also places Rwanda among the countries with notable representation in the competition. Kenya leads the East African contingent with 13 entrepreneurs in the Top 100, followed by #Rwanda with six.

✅For Rwanda, the recognition highlights the growing influence of local entrepreneurs who are building solutions in healthcare, technology agriculture, and business services. https://t.co/aZAj3C8VfH

New energy sources can scale with surprising speed.

US shale gas has grown faster than any previous source, including the historic expansions of Saudi oil and Indonesian coal.

Solar and wind are now following their own rapid growth trajectories.

For decades, General Roméo Dallaire has described what happened in #Rwanda as a failure not merely of the @UN but of humanity itself. He has repeatedly recounted how warnings were ignored, requests for reinforcements denied, and opportunities to save lives squandered by a world unwilling to intervene.

I wonder where we would be today if the #Inkotanyi had not intervened!

Can we produce enough clean energy to power prosperity for everyone? Do we have enough minerals to build the world we need? Can we feed 12 billion people while protecting biodiversity—and reduce emissions at the same time?

In A Century of Plenty, we answer yes to all of these—even under conservative assumptions.

The data show that by 2100, a world economy 8.5x larger than today is achievable with:
▪️ 2–3x more energy and up to 30x clean energy
▪️ 2x–124x more critical materials
▪️ 1.8x more food
▪️ 2.7% annual productivity growth driven by innovation
▪️ Warming limited to ~2°C through emissions reductions

By 2100, an economy 8.5x larger than today is achievable if we choose it.

The data are clear: abundance is possible. The question is whether we act.

@mkainerugaba @FrankGashumba That kind of rhetoric is unacceptable.

[Mwene Rugwe 🇧🇮 @Lionel_SN]

You know Congo is a very sick country when the two men fighting for power in Kinshasa can't make their case without centering Rwanda.

Fayulu: "Tshisekedi is Rwanda's agent who wants to balkanize the country."

Tshisekedi's supporters: "Fayulu is Rwanda's agent who wants to destabilize the country."

Clowns in elite circles. Circus guaranteed in the streets.

If you don’t like Paul Kagame, you're anti-Black," says American Pan-Africanist Travis.

Here he explains that Africans would rather believe the lies told by Western propaganda about Kagame, while dismissing the fact that he saved Rwanda, Mozambique, Sudan, the Central African Republic, etc., and got rid of Mobutu. That, Travis argues, is an anti-Black position.

The same goes for the genocidal ideology being spread across the continent, that Tutsis are liars. That too is an anti-Black, racist statement.

In 2023, the critical minerals sector contributed $40B to 🍁’s GDP and employed 110K Canadians — but a labour shortage in the sector risks #CleanEnergy progress.

That's why we're pleased to see Ottawa launch the first Workforce Alliance to identify & address these challenges.

China has overtaken the DR Congo as Rwanda’s largest export destination, marking one of the most significant shifts in the country’s trade patterns in recent years. The development comes following the introduction of zero-tariff access for products from Rwanda and other least-developed countries, a move that has opened new opportunities for exporters seeking entry into one of the world’s largest consumer markets. Officials say the policy shift is already reshaping Rwanda’s export landscape, strengthening trade flows between Kigali and Beijing. #FactsOnRwanda
