AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

World Cup, Congo spotlight: Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo was held to a 1-1 draw by Congo in their opener, with Congo’s Yoane Wissa scoring late to earn the country its first World Cup goal in 52 years and a first point in 52 years. Ronaldo’s frustration: Ronaldo missed chances in the second half and later urged Portugal to “head up and focus on the next game,” while Congo coach Sébastien Desabre said the team overcame travel hurdles tied to Ebola restrictions. Next match, USA focus: The U.S. turns to its Friday game vs Australia after beating Paraguay 4-1, but Christian Pulisic is day-to-day with a left calf injury. Local business, connectivity: MTN Nigeria restored its XtraTime airtime advance service after a temporary suspension, easing pressure on subscribers who rely on airtime loans. Humanitarian watch: The UN warned acute hunger will worsen in 13 hotspots, listing Congo among the countries at risk. Ocean governance: 15 countries adopted the Mombasa Declaration to boost fisheries transparency and fight illegal fishing, with the Republic of Congo among signatories.
