'Sportswashing Prize': DR Congo Blasts Kagame Over Historic Rwanda F1 Deal | Firstpost Africa
Watch this video as Firstpost explains how Formula 1's landmark agreement to return to Africa has sparked a bitter geopolitical dispute between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. President Paul Kagame has secured a ten-year deal for a purpose-built circuit near Kigali, marking the sport's first return to the continent since 1993. However, Kinshasa has fiercely opposed the move, with Foreign Minister Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner branding the agreement "morally indefensible." DRC officials accuse Kigali of using the billion-dollar sporting event to "sportswash" its global image while allegedly supporting M23 rebels in eastern Congo. Rights groups, including Amnesty International, have echoed these concerns over regional bloodshed and domestic repression, demanding strict guarantees that no race capital originates from conflict-linked minerals. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.---
