We are on alert: The Ugandan Internal Security Organization has asked intelligence and security agencies in the border districts of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to be on high alert. For Lieutenant-Colonel Emmanuel Katabazi, deputy director general of this organization, an imminent overthrow of one or two governments is possible. However, he does not name the countries in question.
While President Félix Tshisekedi has called for an intervention to combat the ineffectiveness of the regional force of the East African Community, the Economic Community of Southern African States (SADC) wants to deploy a regional force in the DRC.
The importance of the region in East Africa is becoming increasingly evident, and the need to maintain peace is particularly urgent. Political tensions in the DRC are striking, and the country is in a precarious situation.
Many events have taken place in this tense context, just refer to the recent articles published on our blog to realize this. Soldiers accused of violence in DR Congo will be tried, political tensions in the DRC led to the arrest of Salmon Idi Kalonda, right arm of Moïse Katumbi, Oscar Tshiebwe, the Congolese pivot from Kentucky was listed for the NBA draft, etc. .
However, positive events are also worth mentioning, such as the holding of the Young Congolese Entrepreneurs Fair, an inspiring platform that promotes innovative projects.
The DRC is currently in the spotlight due to growing insecurity in the eastern region of the country. The special economic zones to pacify the province of Lituri in eastern DRC and the importance of strong justice to fight against impunity have become unavoidable and crucial issues for the country in crisis.
It is undeniable that the security situation in the DRC is fragile, a powder keg that could explode at any moment
