On this significant day of the independence of our dear country, Augustin Kabuya, secretary general of the UDPS, spoke to vigorously defend the President of the Republic, Félix Tshisekedi, against the accusations made by the opponent Moïse Katumbi . These statements caused a stir and attracted the attention of the entire Congolese political class.
Augustin Kabuya vehemently refuted the allegations of dictatorship and tribalism made against Félix Tshisekedi by Moïse Katumbi. He highlighted the President’s humanitarian gesture by allowing Moïse Katumbi to return from exile and offering him a new passport. For the secretary general of the UDPS, qualifying Félix Tshisekedi as a dictator is an unfounded assertion, because for him he embodies an unprecedented symbol of democracy in DR Congo.
In his speech, Augustin Kabuya highlighted the support given to the President by key figures such as Vital Kamerhe and Prime Minister Judith Suminwa. This support reinforces the idea that Félix Tshisekedi is a respected leader and in no way a dictator.
Furthermore, faced with the persistent conflict situation in eastern DRC, Augustin Kabuya stressed the importance of focusing on national security and the resolution of internal crises before talking about development. He believed that the country’s priorities must be clearly defined, and that criticizing the current President in the midst of conflict would not be constructive.
In conclusion, Augustin Kabuya’s passionate defense of Félix Tshisekedi highlights the political differences that drive the Congolese scene. This intervention underlines the importance of national solidarity in these troubled times and invites reflection on the challenges to be met to ensure a serene future for the Democratic Republic of Congo.
