Title: “The Republican Guard invests the headquarters of Jean-Marc Kabund’s party”
This Saturday, June 10, 2023, elements of the Republican Guard went to the headquarters of Jean-Marc Kabund’s “Alliance for Change” party, located on 11th Street in Limete-Industriel in Kinshasa. This incursion provoked a strong reaction from the party’s spokesman, Ghislain Mwanji Kay, who denounced an illegal search of their headquarters.
However, according to a source at the Ministry of Transport, the presence of these soldiers was part of the security related to the inauguration of a vehicle assembly plant by the Head of State Félix Tshisekedi, near the party headquarters. The members of the Alliance for Change also feared that this search would be a pretext to justify a possible deployment of the armed forces.
This situation occurs in a context of political tension in the DRC, marked by a persistent security crisis, particularly in the Kongo-Central region where acts of violence are common. Despite this situation, the country is making progress in carrying out political projects with the launch of an agro-business program in partnership with DEM and Bio Agro Business, as well as the establishment of a new national identity system. .
In addition, the Leopards of the DRC are preparing to face the Panthers of Gabon in the next CAN 2023, and discussions between the DRC and the EU on the security situation and the electoral process continue. Despite these advances, the persistence of insecurity in the DRC continues to threaten the stability of the country
