Cyclist rides for peace across Africa in bold unity mission: Video
A young triathlete from DR Congo has launched an ambitious cycling journey to promote peace and unity across Africa.
23-year-old Miguel Masaisai set off from Goma as part of his “Pedalling for Peace” initiative, aiming to cross 17 countries and reach Rabat. Coming from a conflict-affected region, Masaisai says his mission is to show a different side of the Democratic Republic of Congo—one of resilience, ambition and hope. After already completing a 7,000-kilometre ride to Cape Town, his latest journey has drawn strong local support and is being praised as a powerful symbol of unity, with experts highlighting sport’s role in bringing people together across borders.
