The end of the FCC-CACH coalition: a major turning point in the Congolese political landscape
The beautiful political love story between the Common Front for Congo (FCC) and Cap pour lemutation (CACH) has come to an end, giving way to a major turning point in the Congolese political landscape. This coalition, formed during the first democratic alternation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) between Félix Tshisekedi and Joseph Kabila, did not resist the storms of the common management of power.
In an interview broadcast on the national media, Felix Tshisekedi expressed his regret at the end of this coalition. He had invested himself with conviction, aware that their differences did not matter when it came to changing things for the good of the country. Unfortunately, the FCC remained frozen in its vision of power, thinking that it was reserved for it and could not conceive of its existence without the controls.
The tensions between the FCC and the CACH had been present for a while, but it was the appointment of the judges of the Constitutional Court that marked the point of no return. President Tshisekedi has decided to no longer submit to the diktat of the FCC-CACH parliamentary majority. He disavowed this coalition and pledged to create a “sacred union for the nation”, which would support his social project.
This rupture led to the formation of the Sacred Union of the Nation electoral platform, thus marking the end of the FCC-CACH coalition and the emergence of a new parliamentary majority. For President Tshisekedi, it was an opportunity to show that peaceful and fraternal changes were possible to move the Congo forward.
This decision was a major turning point in the Congolese political landscape. It marks a new era, where opposing political forces unite in the interest of the country. However, this transition has not been without difficulties, and the challenges ahead are many. Judicial reform, the human rights situation and security are all subjects that require particular attention.
In conclusion, the end of the FCC-CACH coalition has changed the Congolese political landscape. If Félix Tshisekedi expresses his regret, he nevertheless remains determined to continue his mission to change things for the good of the country. There is still a long way to go, but the emergence of this new political dynamic could pave the way for positive transformations in the Democratic Republic of Congo
