The political murder of Chérubin Okende: Moïse Katumbi demands justice
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is shaken by a tragic and shocking event: the political assassination of MP Chérubin Okende. This news prompted the leader of the Ensemble pour la République, Moïse Katumbi, to interrupt his stay abroad and to return urgently to his country.
Moïse Katumbi, very affected by the loss of his collaborator, described this act as “political murder”. In an interview with Radio France Internationale, he expressed his sadness and anger at this act of violence aimed at silencing his supporters. He also called for an independent investigation to shed light on the circumstances and the sponsors of this assassination.
Chérubin Okende was an honest and peaceful man, according to Moïse Katumbi. His political ambition was reflected in his commitment as party spokesman. His disappearance leaves a huge void and a lingering question: who was behind this heinous act?
Faced with this tragedy, Moïse Katumbi denounces a growing climate of insecurity in the DRC, where politics seems to be increasingly intertwined with physical violence. He expresses his refusal to remain silent in the face of such acts. He intends to conduct his own investigation to obtain justice and punish those responsible for this political assassination.
The hasty return of Moïse Katumbi to Kinshasa bears witness to the importance he attaches to the fight against impunity and the preservation of democracy in the DRC. He does not intend to let this barbaric act go unpunished and hopes that the country’s authorities will show transparency in their investigations.
The murder of Chérubin Okende raises many questions about the political and security situation in the DRC. It also highlights the vulnerability of political actors to threats and violence.
In conclusion, Moïse Katumbi is determined to obtain justice and to shed light on this political assassination. His hasty return to the DRC demonstrates his commitment to democracy and the fight against impunity. The death of Chérubin Okende raises questions about the political and security climate in the country, and calls for collective awareness to put an end to political violence. The DRC must not accept that politics is synonymous with murder, and it is essential to work for a peaceful and democratic future for all its citizens
