In the Democratic Republic of Congo, several personalities were received on Saturday, November 7, by President Félix Tshisekedi.
Personalities he should count on if he wants to get rid of his predecessor Joseph Kabila. Among them, of course, is the former governor of Katanga, Moïse Katumbi.

The first delegation received is that of Gabriel Kyungu, President of Unafec and former comrade-in-arms of Etienne Tshisekedi. He says he came to support the Congolese head of state. “At that time, we did everything we could to bring down the dictatorship in our country, in Mobutu’s time, with the thirteen parliamentarians. It was in this building and it’s a pretty symbol. I wanted to remind him that because one of our companions was his father, Étienne Tshisekedi. ”
Another guest, and he is a powerful ally of President Tshisekedi, the former Minister of Economy, Bahati Lukwebo. The head of the AFDC, a member of Joseph Kabila’s FCC, no longer sees a future for the ruling coalition. “Coalition? I think the people who created it went for it. We can only subscribe to the logic of the holy union so that this time we could break this paradox of a state equipped with everything, but whose people are among the poorest in the world. ”
Moses Katumbi and its 68 deputies could weigh heavily if they joined the Holy Union. The former governor of Katanga remained enigmatic. “More importantly, I came to see a brother. Soon, when he concludes the consultations, you will know what we have decided with the President. ”
Ne Muanda Nsemi, the leader of the Bundu Dia Congo, was also received, who had been an ally of Joseph Kabila and had been persecuted during the last years of his regime. He spoke for the holy union.
At the FCC, a prayer against “the spirit of violation of the Constitution“
In the absence of Joseph Kabila, officially prevented, the proceedings begin with an atypical prayer from Pastor Théodore Mugalu. The former head of Kabila’s civilian mission is furious in his prayer against the “spirit of violation of the constitution”. It is precisely this attitude that the FCC intends to confirm at the end of this work. “The FCC remains uncompromising in respect of the Constitution, the laws of the Republic, as well as the commitments made under the Coalition Agreement with regard to the stability and sustainability of the Congolese democracy, which marked a decisive turning point during the peaceful and civilized transfer of power,” said Néhémie Mwilanya. FCC coordinator.
While President Tshisekedi is at home in his consultations, at the FCC, the final path has not yet been identified. “The common front for Congo will undoubtedly be able to find, through this political retreat, the way in which it will be able to make the decisions that it will naturally take the consequences of.”
If some deputies protest that they are never associated with the decisions and want to review the FCC’s organization, in the company of the former president, several caciques are angry at the tensions that they say have created Tshisekedi. They no longer hide their desire to see the FCC regain control of the head of state. What could sign the coalition’s end and beginning of a cohabitation.
Consequence, still according to these bosses: the government should fall and the next only count pro-Kabila.
