Assassination of Chérubin Okende: a politically motivated crime in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
In the meanders of African history, many political crimes have been perpetrated to destabilize the regimes in place and sow discord within nations. Today, a new heinous act is added to this macabre list with the assassination of Chérubin Okende, national deputy elected in 2018 and honorary Minister of Transport. The circumstances of his death raise many questions about possible political designs aimed at discrediting the governance of President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi.
In a country where political stability is crucial, especially in preparation for the 9th Games of La Francophonie, this assassination is of particular importance. Disturbing parallels can be drawn with other political crimes in the past, where the reputation of the incumbent was damaged through underhanded political maneuvering.
Unfounded rumors and bitter failures
The enemies of the Republic have tried to discredit the regime 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 competent authorities. Faced with this failure, it would seem that those who pull the strings have decided to take the final step by using the assassination of Chérubin Okende as a formidable weapon to discredit the power in place.
disturbing coincidences
The mystery surrounding the invitation of the national deputy by the president of the Constitutional Court raises many questions. A correspondence dated July 10, 2023 invites Chérubin Okende to a meeting relating to his property and assets. In his response, the Honorary Minister proposes another date, Friday, July 14, 2023, for this meeting in question. However, shortly before this meeting, Chérubin Okende mysteriously disappears. His lifeless body, riddled with bullets, was found in his jeep on Heavyweight Avenue in Kingabwa. This disturbing series of events suggests that this is not an isolated act, but perhaps a political ploy aimed at destabilizing the Congolese government and, more specifically, President Tshisekedi.
A call for caution and a thorough investigation
In this grim affair, the onus is on the government to ensure the safety of its citizens. However, it is equally important that the truth emerges through an independent investigation by the judicial police. Is it possible that this assassination is the result of an isolated act, of a personal drama? Or are we facing a calculated political plan aimed at discrediting the Congolese government? While waiting for answers, it is essential to exercise caution and reserve, while avoiding hasty judgments. 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 sad fate of Chérubin Okende, National Deputy and Honorary Minister of Transport, continues to haunt people’s minds and raise many questions. While the political situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is fragile, it is essential to remain objective and await the results of a thorough investigation to establish the truth. Only an independent investigation will reveal the true motivations behind this heinous act and dissipate the clouds of suspicion hanging over the power in place.
While waiting for answers, it is essential to keep in mind that the search for the truth is essential to honor the memory of Chérubin Okende and preserve the stability of the Democratic Republic of Congo
