In the midst of political unrest in the Democratic Republic of Congo, opponents Martin Fayulu, Moïse Katumbi, Delly Sesanga and Matata Ponyo have decided to postpone their march scheduled for this Saturday, May 13 in Kinshasa against Rwanda’s aggression in the eastern part. from the country. Finally scheduled for May 20, this march had already been postponed by the town hall to May 18 for security reasons.
