December 11, 2017 Africa/Global: Paradise Papers, Plus
The Paradise Papers investigation, based on a leak of 6.8 million documents from the
offshore law firm Appleby, is the largest of recent revelations of the hidden world
of financial manipulation used by both multinational corporations and rich (high net
worth) individuals from around the world. Like the Panama Papers investigation that
won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize, it is based both on "big data" analysis and on
collaborative investigative reporting by teams of hundreds of journalists. But it is
based on the records of only one offshore law firm, albeit one of the most prominent.
Despite the size of the leak, it still reveals only the tip of the iceberg.
July 17, 2017 Congo (Kinshasa): Inga Dam Mirage Recedes, Again
The latest projections for the Inga 3 hydroelectric project on the Congo River to
become operational, cited in press reports last week, are 2024 or 2025. But even if
the project is financed and constructed, says a new report, the project will likely
provide only minimal electric power for the people of Democratic Republic of the
Congo and burden the country with more unsustainable debt.
February 12, 2017 Congo (Kinshasa): Tshisekedi Place Hard to Fill
"The death of prominent opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi has
deprived the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) of a unique
political figure who was at the forefront of the fight for democracy
for over three decades. ... Coming just a month after the signing of
a political agreement, which would have put him at the head of an
important follow-up committee, his departure robs the opposition of
a leader able to combine genuine street-level popularity with an
ability to squeeze out political deals." - International Crisis
