Assassination of Chérubin Okende: A political crime to discredit the Congolese government?
Throughout African history, political crimes have often been used as tools of destabilization and discord. Today, a new enigmatic chapter is being written with the assassination of Chérubin Okende, national deputy and honorary minister of transport. This tragedy raises an important question: does this heinous crime hide political designs aimed at discrediting the governance of President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi?
In a country where preparations for the 9th Games of La Francophonie are underway, political stability is crucial. Unfortunately, disturbing parallels can be drawn with other political crimes in the past, where the reputation of the power in place was damaged for insidious political purposes.
Orchestrated rumors to discredit the country
The enemies of the Republic have sown the seeds of doubt by spreading unfounded rumors about the trafficking and sale of organs, thus seeking to tarnish the image of the country and its leaders. However, these allegations were quickly denied by the Deputy Minister of Health during a press conference. Faced with this failure, it seems that those pulling the strings have deemed it necessary to strike a fatal blow to discredit the power in place by using the assassination of Chérubin Okende as a formidable weapon.
Disturbing coincidences surround this assassination
The mystery surrounding the invitation of the President of the Constitutional Court to Chérubin Okende raises many questions. A correspondence dated July 10, 2023 invites him to a working session concerning his property and assets. In his response, the honorary minister proposes another date, Friday July 14, 2023, between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., in the offices of the President of the Constitutional Court in Gombe. However, a few hours before this meeting, Chérubin Okende disappears without a trace. His lifeless body, riddled with bullets, was discovered in his jeep on Heavyweight Avenue in Kingabwa.
An isolated act or a calculated political coup?
In this grim affair, the government has a responsibility to guarantee the safety of its citizens. But it is just as crucial that the truth emerges thanks to an independent investigation carried out by the judicial police. Is it possible that this assassination is an isolated act, a personal drama? Or are we facing a calculated political ploy aimed at discrediting the Congolese government and, in particular, President Tshisekedi?
As we seek answers to these troubling questions, it is essential to remain objective and not fall into hasty assertions.. The complexity of this case calls for a thorough investigation in order to dispel lingering doubts and shed light on this mystery surrounding the tragic death of Chérubin Okende.
Conclusion
The tragic fate of Chérubin Okende continues to haunt people’s minds and raise many questions. In the political context where this assassination took place, it is crucial to be cautious and to 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 that hang over the power in place.
While waiting for answers, let us keep in mind that the search for the truth is the key element to honor the memory of Chérubin Okende and preserve the stability of the Democratic Republic of Congo
