January 28, 2025 - Protesters in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, set fires at the embassies of France, Belgium, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya and the United States, chanting slogans like "Thieves, get out!". The protesters targeted the embassies of countries they accuse of complicity with Rwanda and the M23 militia.

Rwanda supports the M23 militia that is currently taking over the resource-rich eastern part of the country. And of course Belgium and the USA have been involved in destabilizing DR Congo since its' independence in 1960, to plunder the country's vast mineral resources. [video]/[video]/[article]

If you would turn the wheel of time and went back 160 years to Congo Kinshasa, Mamitsho Pontshi Lobo's great-grandparents would never have imagined that one of Congo's Airbus would be piloted by one of their descendants. Mamitsho Pontshi Lobo was born on January 3, 1985. She is still in the air at the controls of the Airbus 320 of Congo Airways, a commercial aviation company in DRC. "I have 2600 hours of flight experience. This is what earned me the nickname of 'the patriotic POM Flying Leopard'. It is not easy to be a woman copilot in the DRC. To achieve this, I overcame many obstacles, limitations and prejudices. I have known moments of extreme discouragement, of disarray. I was a victim of false accusations. All this has not rubbed off on my personality. I always get up and know how to start again on the right foot to move forward".

Pontshi Lobo Mamitsho is one of four female pilots in Democratic Republic of the Congo. She currently works as a pilot for the congolese airline Congo Airways.[1]. A part from being a pilot she is very engaged in making more female youth interested in aviation and choosing it as a career in DRC [2][3]

With her professional license as an airplane pilot, she decided to return to the DRC. In 2011, she was a pilot at Goma Express (which served Walikale from Goma in North Kivu in the east of the DRC), then at Katanga Wings in 2012 and 2013 where she flew AWKER 125/700 and 800. In 2015, she joined the national airline Congo Airways where she is until today as a co-pilot Airbus A320 [4]. She is also Secretary General of the National Association of Pilots of Congo.

LA POLLUTION PLASTIQUE CAUSE ET CONSÉQUENCES| RDC CONGO - KINSHASA

Qu’est-ce que la pollution ? Quelles sont les sources d’émission de polluants ? Quelles sont les conséquences de la pollution sur la santé humaine et les écosystèmes ?

Définition de la pollution et de ses sources Qu’est-ce que la pollution ? La pollution désigne l’introduction directe ou indirecte, de substances naturelles ou artificielles dans un milieu (l’eau, l’air, le sol) où elles étaient absentes, ou présentes en quantité différente. Ces polluants peuvent être de nature physique (de la chaleur par exemple), biologique (micro-organismes, parasites), ou chimique (pesticides, métaux lourds…).

Généralement, ce n’est pas la présence mais plutôt la surabondance d’un élément dans un milieu qui crée la pollution. En effet, les milieux, grâce au mécanisme d’autoépuration, sont naturellement capables d’éliminer une certaine quantité de substances sans qu’elles n’affectent l’environnement ou la santé humaine.

Le problème, c’est que les activités humaines ont profondément modifié les équilibres naturels et engendré d’importantes quantités de polluants. Le phénomène d’autoépuration n’est alors plus suffisant, et les substances non éliminées génèrent une pollution qui s’avère nocive pour l’environnement et la santé humaine.Conséquences de la pollution des déchets sur l'environnement : les déchets plastiques sont à la base Dégradation de l'environnement par des substances (naturelles, chimiques ou radioactives), des déchets (ménagers ou industriels) ou des nuisances diverses (sonores, lumineuses, thermiques, biologiques, etc.).
