Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi and Kenya all but died down in their warlike campaign to bring giant Congo to its knees in less than a month. This is explained in particular by the determination of Felix Tshisekedi to denounce the axis of evil embodied by President Kagame and to oppose all the great economic powers of the world still determined to impose lucrative governance on their economic predation.
Faced with the magnitude of the plot, the Congolese president decided to apply the power of his word and to undertake an international tour to make his country’s voice heard at all international forums. Despite the lack of one-on-one meetings with Kagame, the East African Community (EAC) is slowly losing its influence in the region.
The war in the DRC is not yet over, but President Tshisekedi has succeeded in reducing the enthusiasm of other countries who wanted to see this region sink quickly. The president has also succeeded in convincing the major economic powers not to use the DRC for their own interests. Tshisekedi has become a playmaker without whom no solution can be envisaged.
Apart from this news, it can be noted that the DRC must work to stabilize its troubled regions, after the new terrorist attack in Beni and that the government is accused of not ensuring the security of the country. However, there is also the Young Congolese Entrepreneurs Fair which is a unique opportunity for the development of entrepreneurship in the country.
The economic situation is also notable. The Congolese franc is stabilizing on the official foreign exchange market while the informal market remains affected. The CENI in the DRC is welcomed by Western embassies despite lingering concerns. Finally, the governor of Ituri sends a strong message to the armed groups, national and international justice awaits them.
This news reflects the challenges of the DRC and the struggles it must wage for its stability and prosperity.
