Political tension in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is becoming increasingly intense. During the opposition march organized this Saturday, May 20, Me Nicolas Lenga, Deputy Secretary General of Envol de Delly Sesanga was brutally arrested by the police, as was Lens Omelonga, another supporter of Delly Sesanga. The leaders of the Envol party are demanding their immediate release, claiming that the government in place is engaged in a campaign of intimidation against the Delly Sesanga party.
Beyond the already tense political situation, the Democratic Republic of the Congo also faces major economic challenges. The suspension of World Bank funding further complicates an already fragile situation. The restructuring of the DRC Social Fund is one of the solutions envisaged to remedy this situation. However, violence and armed attacks persist, threatening important development projects such as the Musienene Special Economic Zone.
While waiting for better days, the Congolese continue to survive in a climate of uncertainty and insecurity.
