Afternoon Edition, September 10, 2026

Every Lexy News brief, written out. Three stories, three times a day.

Democratic Republic of the Congo

Aid agencies say hunger in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo is straining the Ebola response to the latest outbreak, which has recorded at least 6,800 confirmed cases and more than 3,310 deaths since May. They say isolation can cut patients, families and quarantined communities off from daily survival needs in a conflict-affected region where food is scarce. The response depends on quickly isolating infected or exposed people, but agencies say hunger can push exposed or sick people to keep moving. In Butembo, an Ebola treatment unit has 30 beds, and agencies warn that lack of food could leave more people choosing survival needs over care.

Argentina

Buenos Aires-area footwear maker Kioshi has cut its workforce from nearly 120 to 14 and reduced monthly output to about one-quarter of its former 40,000 pairs as President Javier Milei’s free-market overhaul opens Argentina to imports. Kioshi director Emmanuel Fernandez said the removal of import quotas, taxes and other trade restrictions brought an influx of imports that hit the company "like a body blow." The factory in southern Buenos Aires now has idle machinery and boxes of unsold merchandise, a local measure of pressure on manufacturing employment. Kioshi is operating with 14 workers as Milei’s trade liberalization continues.

Angola

TotalEnergies is targeting first production from Angola’s offshore Acacia-5 discovery three months after finding it in June 2026, fast-tracking development on Block 17, where it operates with a 38% interest. Patrick Pouyanné, chairman and chief executive, said exploration is key to TotalEnergies’ ambition in Angola and is supported by incentives introduced to encourage investment, and he said the timetable strengthens the company’s offshore role. TotalEnergies also has a 10% interest in Chevron-operated Block 0. It also has agreements for two exploration areas, Blocks 17/25 and 32/21, with Angola’s petroleum agency, Agência Nacional de Petróleo, Gás e Biocombustíveis. Those agreements would give it operated interests of 40%.
