Le reportage de Finbarr O’Reilly a débuté en janvier mais la fermetures des frontières l’empêchant de se rendre en RDC, il a, avec l’équipe du Prix, repensé et adapté le reportage à la crise que nous traversons pour concevoir « Congo In Conversation », un reportage collaboratif en ligne réalisé en coopération étroite avec des des journalistes et photographes congolais qui sont : Arlette Bashizi, Justin Makangara, Al-Hadji Kudra Maliro, Baron Nkoy, Moses Sawasawa, Ley Uwera (photo à la Une), Bernadette Vivuya et Steve Wembi.

It is Sunday, April 05 at 9:05 pm. Gombe is preparing for its 14-day lockdown. The grocery stores and shops are already closed and this part of the busy city is empty of its regulars. Gombe is the administrative centre of Kinshasa, considered the epicenter of the Covid-19 pandemic affecting DR Congo. To date, records show that Gombe has more than 70 percent of cases in the national territory. Currently there are approximately 377 infected people in DR Congo.

The responders were at the main entrance of the building to raise awareness among apartment residents about social distancing and to take the temperature of anyone entering or leaving the building, where there are around 75 families and offices.

Basé sur un site Internet créé pour l‘occasion, et relayé sur les réseaux sociaux du Prix Carmignac, « Congo in Conversation » propose une production inédite d’écrits, de reportages photos et de vidéos qui documente les défis humains, sociaux et écologiques que le Congo affronte actuellement dans le contexte d’une crise sanitaire sans précédent.
