The end of the FCC-CACH coalition: a turning point in the political history of the DRC
The breakdown of the alliance between the Common Front for Congo (FCC) and Cap pour lemutation (CACH) is a key moment in the political history of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This coalition, formed during the first democratic alternation between Félix Tshisekedi and Joseph Kabila, had raised great hopes as to the possibility of a common and peaceful management of power.
However, from the first stages of this political collaboration, tensions appeared, highlighting the differences in approach and vision between the two leaders. Disputes have escalated, with disagreements over key issues such as the appointment of Constitutional Court judges.
In a recent interview, Felix Tshisekedi expresses his regret at the end of this coalition. He emphasizes the fact that he had invested in this unique experience for the DRC, allowing a former head of state to live peacefully and a new head of state to respond to the concerns of the country. Unfortunately, the members of the FCC remained in their bubble, convinced that power should be theirs alone.
The creation of the Sacred Union of the Nation electoral platform therefore marks the end of this political alliance. Félix Tshisekedi is now turning to new partners and opposition leaders, in the hope of creating a new parliamentary majority to support his social project.
This rupture poses many challenges for the political future of the DRC. It is essential to find a balance between the different political forces and to achieve true representativeness of the aspirations of the Congolese population. Democracy is at a turning point, and it is crucial that political actors on all sides work together to build a better future for the country.
In conclusion, the end of the FCC-CACH coalition is a regret for Félix Tshisekedi, who hoped for a common and peaceful management of power in the DRC. However, this rupture opens up new opportunities for the construction of a new parliamentary majority and for the pursuit of the Congolese president’s social project. The challenge now is to find a political balance to meet the aspirations of the Congolese people and guarantee genuine democracy in the country
