This article reports on the worrying situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo, particularly in the provinces of Kwango and Mai-Ndombe, where an inter-ethnic conflict between the Teke and the Yaka has led to the death of several people. The Congolese government puts forward the thesis of political manipulation aimed at weakening the authority of the State, while the Catholic Church points the finger at the “bloody invisible hands” behind these conflicts. President Tshisekedi recently reinforced the Congolese army to respond to the hegemonic ambitions of Rwanda, which he accuses of being at the origin of this conflict. Moreover, the province of Kasai is also plagued by shenanigans and immobility, hampering its economic development.
