The end of the FCC-CACH alliance: a look back at a beautiful political love story
The alliance between the Common Front for Congo (FCC) and Cap for Change (CACH), which had been formed within the framework of the democratic alternation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) between Félix Tshisekedi and Joseph Kabila, finally ended. This alliance, which had raised a lot of hope for democratic continuity in the country, unfortunately did not resist the tensions and the differences of opinion between the two camps.
In a recent interview broadcast on national television, Felix Tshisekedi expresses his regret at the end of this coalition. He said he was fully invested in this alliance and hoped that FCC members would understand the importance of working together for the good of the country. Unfortunately, according to him, they remained in their own logic of power and refused to share the reins of government.
The tensions between the FCC and the CACH had become increasingly evident, especially with the appointment of the judges of the Constitutional Court, which had been strongly contested by the FCC. This dispute was the breaking point that led to the dissolution of the alliance.
Félix Tshisekedi deplores the end of this coalition, because he considered that it represented a great experience for the country, with a peaceful political alternation and the possibility for a former president to live peacefully without being worried. However, he does not want to let himself down and remains optimistic about what will happen next.
Following the dissolution of the FCC-CACH alliance, Felix Tshisekedi launched the electoral platform of the Sacred Union of the Nation, with the aim of forming a new parliamentary majority to support his social project. He hopes to be able to continue to work for change and show that positive transformations can be achieved in a peaceful and fraternal way.
The end of the FCC-CACH alliance therefore marks a turning point in Congolese politics
