The video shows Gideon Kyungu Mutanga next to him, the red-green-white tricolor flag with three crosses, the emblem adopted by the secessionist state of Katanga in July 1960. “Nkambo”, as he calls himself or his ancestor (in kiluba of Katanga) confirms “to be official in Lubumbashi” because, he says, “people are looking for me elsewhere and accusing me of something while I am looking for something very important: that is Katanga’s independence,” adds the leader of Bakata Katanga.
This video message comes as persistent rumors circulate in Lubumbashi about the impending news militiangreb in the copper capital. This year, two interventions have already taken place in Greater Katanga in March and September. Each time, the repression has been bloody.
Haut-Katanga authorities claim to have resumed proceedings against Gédéon Kyungu Mutanga, who has been missing in circulation for six months, after years in freedom in Lubumbashi. A security source interviewed in Kinshasa, for his part, strongly doubts that the leader of Bakata Katanga is actually in the copper-bearing capital.
