The CONGOLESE NEWS AGENCY (ACP) reports in its newsletter of this morning that the President of the Republic, Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, will launch Wednesday his accelerated program to fight against poverty and inequality (PPA-LCPI) at lac de Ma vallée in the municipality of Mont Ngafula in Kinshasa.

The PPA-LCPI is based on three axes namely, improving people's access to basic social services, developing profitable and sustainable local economic sectors, as well as strengthening the managerial skills of the beneficiaries of the program. The launch of this presidential program coincides with the celebration of World Food Day and the elimination of Poverty, ACP reveals.

FORUM DES AS, meanwhile, returns to the crash of the Antonov 72 last week and mentions on its front page: "Air safety: the government challenged". For this media, with regard to repeated crashes, the Congolese authorities are called to finally implement a number of resolutions and other solutions that are languishing in the drawers. The Democratic Republic of Congo is bereaved, this newspaper let know, once again, after shipwrecks, train derailments, automobile accidents or motorcycles, Congolese attention is now focused on the plane crash that killed the close collaborators of President Félix Tshisekedi.

At the time where the investigations are now being conducted to identify the reasons why for the accident, voices are rising to challenge the Government on aviation safety. It is high time that the authorities look into the problem of modernization of our airport infrastructure, this tabloid reports.

For its part, LA PROSPERITE points out the resumption of the work of the Cultural and Artistic Center for Central Africa and mentions: "Sylvestre Ilunga, Pius Muabilu and Guillaume Manjolo in the maneuver"! The tabloid of Mont Fleuri notes that immediately after taking office, the Minister of Urban Planning and Housing suspended, as a precautionary measure, the work started for the construction of a Cultural and Art Center for Central Africa as well as the buildings of the National Institute of Arts (INA), on the site located between Boulevard Triomphal and Victoire and Saio avenues in the municipality of Kasa-Vubu. The goal is to go one, for the Minister of State, to secure this prestigious project but also to deepen this issue especially as another economic operator holds the documents that give him right on the same field since 2016. To do this, Monday, October 14, the Minister of Urbanism, Pius Muabilu and Guillaume Manjolo of International Cooperation signed, on the instruction of Prime Minister Ilunga Ilunkamba, two decrees in favor of the Center, we can read in the columns of this journal.

In the same vein, L’AVENIR mentions on its front page: "The Prime Minister orders the resumption of work". For a budget of US 100 million dollars, the Chinese company Beijing Urban Construction Group will build a major cultural and artistic center of Central Africa, and a building of the National Institute of Arts (INA), this media revealed.

LE POTENTIEL devotes its flagship title to the ruling coalition. Indeed under the title "FCC-CACH: a dangerous escalation", this newspaper reports that the alliance between the UDPS of the Head of State Felix Tshisekedi and the FCC of Joseph Kabila hangs by a thread. The crash on Thursday, October 10, 2019, of an Antonov 72 chartered by the Presidency of the Republic stirred the knife in an already gaping wound. At the headquarters of the UDPS continues this media, the militants of this political formation violently took to the agreement - not yet revealed – concluded between the FCC and the CACH.

The shepherd's response to the shepherdess, the PPRD, immediately deployed its « Bérets rouges ». Presenting themselves as "Raïs soldiers", they promise to fight back to every UDPS’ provocation. We left for a dangerous escalation that could jeopardize the entire mandate of Felix Tshisekedi, the newspaper concluded.

In another article, LE POTENTIEL is interested in the designation of the spokesperson of the opposition. With 69 deputies within the National Assembly, "Spokesman of the Opposition: Moïse Katumbi, the favorite", this newspaper notes. Which political actor should return the chair of the leader of the Congolese opposition? The question is on the table and the first voices are in favor of Moïse Katumbi, president of "Ensemble pour le changement". Having a majority of the Opposition within the National Assembly, or 69 national deputies out of 102, the president of "Ensemble pour le Changement" ahead of his potential competitors, namely Jean-Pierre Bemba of the MLC, Martin Fayulu d 'Ecidé and Adolphe Muzito of Nouvel élan, LE POTENTIEL supports.
