Le gouvernement du président Tshisekedi n’a plus l’excuse d’être entravé par l'emprise du clan de son prédécesseur Joseph Kabila.
President Tshisekedi’s government no longer has the excuse that it’s being hampered by the dead hand of his predecessor Joseph Kabila’s cabal.
Felix Tshisekedi must come out from under former premier Joseph Kabila’s thumb.
The DRC’s Constitutional Court has upheld Felix Tshisekedi’s presidential election win.
Felix Tshisekedi may have clinched DRC’s presidency but the road ahead won’t be a smooth one.
The DRC could be the exception after a year in which opposition parties fared badly across East and Central Africa.
It’s been an eventful year for the Democratic Republic of Congo as the country prepares for elections.
Emmanuel Shadary is President Joseph Kabila’s preferred presidential candidate meaning that Kabila could remain in power if not in office.
Jean-Pierre Bemba is a man with a past. Once accused of crimes against humanity, he is now making a play for the DRC’s presidency.
President Joseph Kabila was supposed to step down at the end of his term in 2016. By clinging on to power he threw the Democratic Republic of Congo into a vicious cycle of deadly conflict.
Congolese President Joseph Kabila was due to step down last year after serving two terms. But he failed to organise elections leading to deadly protests. Is Congo’s future now in grave danger?
The Democratic Republic of Congo desperately needs a peaceful election but with the UN threatening to scale back its DRC mission, the likelihood of a successful poll is being threatened
A deal to finally hold long-postponed elections has been reached, but parts of the country are still dealing with violence and chaos.
