A video showing a large crowd has been falsely presented as the triumphant welcome of Félix Tshisekedi in Mbuji-Mayi. In reality, the video dates back to 2019 and depicts a protest against the then Haitian President Jovenel Moïse in Port-au-Prince. The misinformation was spread on Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp. Congo Check, alerted by a journalist from Deutsche Welle, used Google Lens to trace the video's origin and confirmed its actual context through reverse image search and comparison with news articles.

Following the publication of a statement by the European Union delegation in the DRC regarding the infection of two of its agents with Coronavirus, several virulent publications falsely claimed that members of the EU humanitarian airlift to the DRC brought the virus into the country. The EU delegation clarified that the two positive cases were local staff members, not part of the humanitarian airlift. The misinformation led to public outrage against the EU humanitarian efforts. The EU's humanitarian airlift is part of its broader response to the pandemic, supporting Africa with €3.25 billion. The two local infections were confirmed on June 6, 2020, and the delegation arrived in Kinshasa on June 8, 2020.

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, misinformation circulated regarding the death of Atufuka Mbunze Galung, falsely linking him to a series of deaths within the presidential team, with conspiracy theories suggesting poisoning. However, Galung was not part of the presidency but was a member of the High Council for Audiovisual and Communication (CSAC). The misinformation was spread through a doctored image mimicking the official presidential page. Galung had a distinguished career in journalism at the RTNC and served in various roles, including as a communication advisor to former Prime Minister Adolphe Muzito. He passed away after a short illness, leaving behind a wife and five children.

Rumors have spread in the Central African Republic that NGOs, including Médecins Sans Frontières, are conducting local vaccine trials for COVID-19, which is false. The misinformation was fueled by the news site Vounga Sango Net and social media. MSF's national coordinator in the CAR, Giorgia Girometti, refuted these rumors, stating that MSF is not involved in any COVID-19 vaccine tests. The World Health Organization's representative in the CAR, Dibert Augustin, and the Minister of Public Health, Pierre Somse, also denied any vaccine trials in the country. The article emphasizes the importance of protecting oneself not only from COVID-19 but also from false information.

A message falsely attributed to the World Health Organization circulating on WhatsApp and Facebook groups provides incorrect and dangerous advice on protecting against COVID-19. The article debunks several myths, such as the virus's inability to withstand certain temperatures, the effectiveness of sunbathing or hot baths in killing the virus, and a supposed quick breath test for diagnosis. It emphasizes that there is no direct link between climate and the virus's spread, and that the only way to confirm infection is through proper testing. The article also reminds readers of the actual symptoms of COVID-19, modes of transmission, and effective prevention methods. It notes that there is currently no vaccine for the coronavirus and was written in collaboration with Internews through its CREC commission for the COVID-19 response.

The article discusses the film '27 Guns', directed by Natasha Museveni, which is a biopic based on the true events of Uganda's liberation struggle that brought Yoweri Museveni and his National Resistance Movement to power in 1986. The film was shot over 90 days in various locations in Uganda and stars Arnold Mubangizi as Yoweri Museveni. The lead actor shared his initial nervousness about playing the president but mentioned that spending time with President Museveni helped him prepare for the role. The movie has been well-received, with reviews praising its portrayal of the reality of the liberation struggle, although some noted that it missed depicting certain historical events. President Museveni attended the movie's launch and expressed his gratitude for the film, which reminded him of his youth and brought him back to the cinema after 49 years.
