Title: Kananga, the city marked by intercommunity tensions and political issues
Introduction :
Kananga, capital of the Kasai-Central province in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is a city currently attracting attention due to multiple factors. Between the intercommunity tensions which caused victims in Malemba Nkulu and the announced arrival of political candidate Moïse Katumbi, Kananga is at the heart of the news. In this article, we will explore these events and their impacts on the daily lives of the city’s residents.
Intercommunity tensions and commemoration of victims:
The political party Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS/Tshisekedi) federation of Kasai-Central declared a “ghost town” in Kananga, in memory of the victims of intercommunity tensions in Malemba Nkulu. This declaration calls on all party members to stay at home to commemorate the death of their Kasai brothers. These intercommunity tensions reveal the divisions and challenges that the Kasai-Central region faces.
The arrival of Moïse Katumbi in Kananga:
At the same time, the announcement of the upcoming arrival of political candidate Moïse Katumbi in Kananga for his electoral campaign is also attracting attention. As coordinator of Ensemble pour la République, Katumbi seeks to rally voters and gain their support in the Kasai-Central region. His arrival fuels speculation about the outcome of the upcoming elections and creates an intense political atmosphere in the city.
Impact on the daily life of the inhabitants of Kananga:
These events have a direct impact on the daily life of the inhabitants of Kananga. The “dead city” declared by the UDPS/Tshisekedi leads to the paralysis of many commercial and economic activities, thus disrupting the routine of the inhabitants. In addition, the arrival of political candidate Moïse Katumbi may generate crowd movements and traffic disruptions in the city.

These events impact the daily lives of city residents, disrupting commercial and economic activities.
