In the twists and turns of African history, many political crimes have marked the regimes in place, sowing discord and seeking to destabilize nations. It is in this context that the assassination of Chérubin Okende, a national deputy elected in 2018 and spokesperson for “Together for the Republic”, took place. A heinous crime that raises many questions about its possible political motivations aimed at discrediting the governance of President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi.
As the Democratic Republic of Congo prepares to host the IX Games of La Francophonie, a competition involving numerous international delegations, political stability is of paramount importance. However, disturbing parallels can be drawn between this assassination and other political crimes perpetrated in the past, where the reputation of the power in place was deliberately damaged for treacherous political purposes.
In recent times, unfounded rumors have been spread about the trafficking and sale of organs, with the aim of tarnishing the image of the country and its leaders. However, these allegations were quickly debunked by the deputy health minister during a press conference. Faced with this failure, it seems that the enemies of the Republic have decided to take more extreme measures by orchestrating the assassination of Chérubin Okende.
The mystery surrounding the invitation of the President of the Constitutional Court to a working session with Chérubin Okende raises many questions. Correspondence dated July 10, 2023 invited the MP to discuss his property and holdings. However, just hours before the scheduled meeting, Chérubin Okende disappeared without a trace. His lifeless body, riddled with bullets, was found in his car on Heavyweight Avenue in Kingabwa.
In this dark affair, it is the responsibility of the government to ensure the safety of its citizens. However, it is equally essential that an independent investigation by the judicial police be put in place. Is it possible that this assassination is an isolated act, a personal drama? Or are we facing a calculated political act aimed at discrediting the Congolese government and, more specifically, President Tshisekedi?
It is crucial to take a careful and thoughtful approach in this matter. As we seek answers to these troubling questions, it is important to remain objective and avoid jumping to conclusions. The complexity of this case calls for a thorough investigation in order to dispel lingering doubts and clarify the mystery surrounding the tragic death of Chérubin Okende.
In conclusion, the tragic fate of Chérubin Okende continues to raise many questions as to the motives and those responsible for his assassination.. In a tense political context, it is imperative to exercise caution and let the investigations take their course to establish the truth. Only a thorough and independent investigation can reveal the true motivations behind this heinous act and dispel the clouds of suspicion hanging over the power in place. While waiting for these answers, it is essential to continue the search for the truth to honor the memory of Chérubin Okende and preserve the stability of the Democratic Republic of Congo
