In an exclusive interview given to RFI and France 24, the president-candidate in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Félix Tshisekedi, spoke on various current issues. He affirms that funding for the holding of the presidential election on December 20 will be assured and that deadlines will be respected.
Félix Tshisekedi appears confident, highlighting his record and refusing to comment on ongoing discussions within the opposition. It also addresses the arrest of Jeune Afrique correspondent, Stanis Bujakera.
However, the big announcement of the interview concerns the non-holding of elections in the territories of Rutshuru and Masisi, due to security tensions fueled by the M23 and supported according to him by Rwandan President Paul Kagame. A difficult decision to swallow for the outgoing president, but he remains determined to impose peace in these territories and to continue the electoral process in other regions of the country.
Despite this announcement, Félix Tshisekedi does not give up and continues to lead the fight on the ground. He affirms that his government remains committed to liberating these two localities and returning the inhabitants to their homes, while continuing the electoral process to its conclusion.
