President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi met with the Congolese community in China to discuss the Téké-Yaka conflict situation in Grand Bandundu. The president suspects Rwanda of being behind this conflict, which has led to phenomena like the Mobondo militia, disrupting activities in the provinces of Kwango and Mai-Ndombe.
The Head of State affirmed that the community tensions resulting from the conflict have suspicious origins and that security and political measures are put in place to resolve the conflict. Furthermore, he pointed out that Rwanda has hegemonic inclinations towards the DRC and has decided to act intelligently by denouncing and sensitizing the international community while acquiring a strong defense capacity to guarantee peace.
The situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo is complex, in particular because of the geo-political situation in which it finds itself. The country faces many challenges, but the government has taken steps, including to strengthen the national army and protect citizens. Political parties have also emerged proposing new solutions for the country.
The path of economic emergence is explored with a renegotiation of the contract of the century, aimed at a fairer distribution of benefits for the Congo. However, the DRC faces obstacles such as the crisis in Kwango province resulting from inter-ethnic conflict or political manipulation.
In this context, the Congolese opposition is waking up and trying to organize itself. However, a media dynamic will only be effective if it is accompanied by a structured programme.
The government acknowledges having used disproportionate force to quell the protests. A minister has filed a complaint against the M23 movement for war crimes before the ICC.
