Title: Crispin Mbindule joins Udps: a political choice motivated by the desire to fight Rwandan aggression
Introduction :
In a recent interview with Media Congo Press, national deputy Crispin Mbindule announced his membership of the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (Udps), the political party led by President Felix Tshisekedi. This decision marks a political turning point for Mbindule, which explains his departure from the Union for the Congolese Nation (UNC) because of his former party’s allegiance to Rwanda. In this article, we will examine the reasons that pushed Mbindule to join the Udps and the importance of his fight against Rwandan aggression.
Political differences with the UNC:
Crispin Mbindule explains that his departure from the UNC is motivated by the political differences he had with the party of Vital Kamerhe. He accuses the latter of having pledged allegiance to the Kigali regime by asking for negotiations with Rwanda. As an elected official from Butembo, an area that was hard hit by the Rwandan war, Mbindule could not accept this idea. Moreover, he points out that Kamerhe traveled to Rwanda to participate in a party organized by a Rwandan general implicated in several crimes in eastern DRC.
The fight against Rwandan aggression:
One of the main reasons for Mbindule joining the Udps is President Félix Tshisekedi’s firm position in the fight against Rwandan aggression. The deputy underlines that President Tshisekedi is actively committed to denouncing this aggression through the M23 rebellion. By joining the Udps, Mbindule hopes to be able to contribute more to this fight and defend the interests of his region hard hit by the conflict with Rwanda.
The importance of the fight against Rwandan aggression:
Crispin Mbindule’s decision to join Udps highlights the importance of the fight against Rwandan aggression in the DRC. The conflict with Rwanda has caused immense suffering and disruption in the east of the country, and it is crucial to take action to end it. The clear position of the Udps in this fight shows that the party is determined to defend Congolese interests and protect the national territory.
Conclusion :
Crispin Mbindule’s membership in the Udps is a political decision motivated by his desire to fight Rwandan aggression and defend the interests of his region. His departure from the UNC reflects deep political differences with the party of Vital Kamerhe. By joining the Udps, Mbindule hopes to be able to contribute to the fight against Rwandan aggression and to the construction of a better future for the DRC.
