Title: Republican Guard and Alliance for Change: what happened on June 10, 2023 in the DRC?
Elements of the Republican Guard were seen this Saturday, June 10, 2023, at the offices of the political party “Alliance for Change” at 11th Street / Limete-Industrial. The party’s spokesman, Ghislain Mwanji Kay, claims that the Republican Guard illegally took control of their headquarters. According to him, this act is a “provocation of the ending regime”.
However, a source from the Ministry of Transport affirmed that the presence of the military was necessary for the security of the Head of State who was going to inaugurate a vehicle assembly plant. Members of Alliance for Change have raised concerns about the concealment of weapons in their offices to justify a search.
This “unexpected search” has aroused the concern of members of this party and the political situation is likely to escalate. The DRC is indeed facing multiple crises, including security, economic and political. This situation makes it difficult to launch major modernization projects in the country. The reactions of the various political actors of the DRC remain to be followed
