Title: Raymond Tshibanda galvanizes deputies loyal to Joseph Kabila during a meeting in Haut-Katanga
Introduction :
During a meeting held in Haut-Katanga, the deputies who remained loyal to Joseph Kabila received encouragement from Raymond Tshibanda, president of the crisis unit of the Common Front for Congo (FCC). In his speech, Tshibanda praised their bravery and their commitment to remaining loyal to the former president, while criticizing the current regime of Félix Tshisekedi. This meeting marks the continued resistance of Kabila’s political family to the power in place.
A courageous choice:
Raymond Tshibanda congratulated the deputies for having made the choice to remain loyal to Joseph Kabila, despite pressure and political uncertainties. According to him, this choice is that of the nation rather than partisan or personal interests.

A promising future :
Despite the current difficulties, Raymond Tshibanda encouraged the deputies to remain on their guard and to have confidence in the future. He said that even in the darkest times, daylight always dawns. According to him, the future belongs to those who demonstrate resilience, and he assured MPs that the course was known and would be met. This message resonated as a call for perseverance and confidence in better days.
A stubborn opposition:
Kabila’s political family, which moved to the opposition after the end of the FCC-CACH coalition in 2020, chose not to participate in the December elections, which it considers biased. She affirms that everything is in place to grant a victory to Félix Tshisekedi. This refusal to participate in the elections testifies to the determination of this political family to resist and to expect nothing from the current president. The meeting in Haut-Katanga reinforced this position and reminded MPs loyal to Kabila of the importance of remaining united in their opposition to the regime in place.
