The education inspectors in the province of Tshopo are threatening to boycott the organization of the practical tests of the State Examination from May 15 following the amount deemed insufficient of the bonus offered to them. Meanwhile, the Congolese political scene is turbulent with a large march organized by the opposition to save the electoral process. The FNI party and the UNC also reached an agreement for the 2023 elections strengthening their political position in Ituri and elsewhere. The Head of Government is developing the main guidelines for the modernization of ports in the DRC, while President Tshisekedi is seeking to impose peace in eastern DRC despite the terrorist attacks of the M23 supported by Rwanda. The DRC and Indonesia are working together to modernize the Congolese army, while confronting political and security dilemmas in their relationship with the EAC.

The article announces a large peaceful march organized by the political platform Dynamique Progressive Révolutionnaire (DYPRO) in support of the ongoing electoral process in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The Congolese political opposition invites the population to mobilize to demand the holding of elections within the constitutional deadline and to prevent any political move tending to delay the electoral calendar in progress. Practical details for participating in the walk will be communicated at a later date. This mobilization could help the opposition to face the political and social pressures of the situation in the DRC.

This article deals with the political situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the formation of the Bloc de Lubumbashi which brings together several opposition leaders for the presidential elections of December 2023. However, this alliance could be weakened because other political movements have refused to participate in this demonstration. Faced with this divided opposition, the Sacred Union of the Nation appears to be a strong adversary. Moïse Katumbi hopes to advance his cause during the peaceful demonstrations scheduled for May 20, but there is still a long way to go before the country’s political history is turned upside down.

The Nationalist and Integrationist Front (FNI) political party held a three-day congress in Bunia to make important decisions for the future of their party. The members announced the end of the division by sealing an alliance with the political party Union pour la nation congolaise (UNC) in the upcoming elections as part of the Sacred Union of the Nation. They also rehabilitated Floribert Ndjabu as national president of the party for the next five years and support the candidacy of Félix Tshisekedi for the supreme magistracy. The FNI has validated the candidates’ candidacies for the upcoming legislative and municipal elections, in order to strengthen its position on the national political scene.

There are growing tensions between the opposition and the CENI in the Democratic Republic of Congo over the electoral roll. The opposition demands an audit by a reputable international firm to guarantee the integrity of the electoral process. If the CENI continues to favor the outgoing president, the opposition will use all democratic means to obtain his departure. It asks for the publication of the provisional lists in each enrollment center and on the CENI website. Despite President Tshisekedi’s attempts to keep the peace, Rwandan-backed M23 terrorist attacks are creating insecurity in the east of the country.

Communicators from the Sacred Union of the Nation gathered to denounce the attacks seeking to harm the image of their political platform. They warned against such practices and announced the creation of a digital army for their defense. The article also discusses political and economic challenges and issues in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, including the modernization of ports, membership of the East African Community, the situation in the east of the country and the reform of the Congolese army.

The Congolese political landscape is constantly changing, with opportunistic political actors and major development, security and health issues. The actions of Lisanga Bonganga, half opponent half sacred union, raise questions about his reliability in managing public affairs. Despite everything, solutions are emerging to meet the challenges facing the country, such as the modernization of the armed forces and economic development projects. However, humanitarian crises continue to cause turbulence and it is crucial to mobilize resources to deal with them.

The government of the Democratic Republic of Congo is seeking to modernize its ports to boost the country’s economy, in particular that of Banana in the province of Kongo Central. Work is underway for the construction of the deep water port of Banana despite administrative problems and the relocation of the naval base. President Félix Tshisekedi underlined the importance of the modernization of communication channels to promote the economic development of the region. The port modernization project is therefore a major initiative for the country.

Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi spoke to Congolese living in Botswana to reassure them of his commitment to bringing peace to the east of the country, despite the plunder of natural resources by Rwandan-backed M23 terrorists. He affirmed the construction of a defense system and criticized the passivity of the EAC regional force. On the economic level, it aims at the local transformation of Congolese natural resources before any export to create wealth and jobs.
