Congo Nouveau: “An irreversible political break: Tshisekedi and Kabila, two irreconcilable men?”

Congo Nouveau says seven years of fractured cohabitation have turned Félix Tshisekedi and Joseph Kabila, allies in 2019, into sworn adversaries. The newspaper argues that the creation of the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation (FRN), led by Kabila, leaves no room for compromise, while the entanglement of judicial and political affairs closes off a way out. Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot has officially condemned the politico-military alliance. The press review also reports Le Phare’s questions about the European Union’s initial silence and EcoNews’s analysis of the “legitimate violence” invoked by Kabila’s camp.
