The GSMA has postponed MWC26 Kigali, Africa's largest mobile and connectivity event, originally scheduled for 16 to 18 June. This is the second postponement in three years for the significant industry gathering.

• The decision was announced just two weeks before the event was set to begin in Kigali, Rwanda.
• The GSMA, the industry body behind the event, provided no specific reason for the postponement but a new date will be announced.
• The postponement closely follows an international public health emergency declared by the World Health Organization due to an Ebola outbreak in neighboring DRC and Uganda, which led Rwanda to implement strict entry restrictions.
