Title: The fiery reactions of Kabilists following Denis Kadima’s invitation to Joseph Kabila
Introduction: Political tensions in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) reached a new height recently, with the invitation extended by the President of the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI), Denis Kadima, to former President Joseph Kabila. This invitation has caused an outcry among Kabila’s supporters, who strongly criticize Kadima for his lack of legitimacy and respect for their leader. This article examines the fiery reactions of the Kabilists and the impact of this invitation on the Congolese political scene.
Furious Kabilists: Supporters of Joseph Kabila of the Common Front for Congo (FCC) reacted strongly to Denis Kadima’s invitation. They question the legitimacy of the latter as president of the CENI and believe that only Raymond Tshibanda, president of the FCC, or Emmanuel Ramazani Shadary, of the PPRD, have the power to engage in discussions with Kabila. Some called Kadima’s invitation a big joke, accusing the CENI president of getting his job in a dubious way.
A defect in the procedure: In addition to questioning the legitimacy of Kadima, the Kabilists also denounce a defect in the procedure for transmitting mail to Kabila. According to them, Kadima should have addressed the correspondence to Raymond Tshibanda rather than to Kabila himself. This mistake was pointed out by Ferdinand Kambere, secretary general of the PPRD, who made it clear that Kabila should not respond to Kadima’s invitation.
The irritation of Kabilists: This invitation from Kadima is perceived as an additional provocation by Kabila’s supporters. They strongly oppose the recomposition of the CENI and the Constitutional Court as proposed by Kadima, and see this move as a desperate attempt to give themselves a last-minute political posture. Recent statements by European diplomats, who have listened to the demands of Kabila’s lieutenants regarding the current electoral process, have reinforced the rejection of the current electoral process by the former president’s supporters.
Conclusion: Denis Kadima’s invitation to Joseph Kabila has sparked anger among Kabila supporters, who question Kadima’s legitimacy as CENI president. This invitation has heightened political tensions in the DRC and brought to light the deep divisions within the Congolese political scene. It remains to be seen how this situation will develop and what the outcome of this confrontation between the Kabilists and Kadima will be.
