PCRN deputy Rolande Ngo Issi posted a riddle asking which political organization, in her view, has 85% of its activists and executives from one community, and whose members allegedly face exclusion for asking questions. In a response published on October 22, Mamadou Mota mocked her tone, comparing it to a teacher handing out exercises. He accused her of encouraging an ethnic reading of political engagement and condemned what he called her “communitarian federalism” as incompatible with republican ideals. Mota argued that political affiliation should not be judged by members’ geographic or family origins.

Fils Mukoko case: National Assembly condemns remarks as “unprecedentedly violent” and “contrary to the law”

The Democratic Republic of the Congo’s National Assembly condemned threats by UDPS official Fils Mukoko, who said he would distribute weapons to young people and threatened Westerners and their embassies in Kinshasa. Opening the 21 October plenary session, lower-house president Aimé Boji Sangara called the remarks unprecedentedly violent and contrary to Article 190 of the Constitution, as well as the country’s obligations to protect diplomatic missions. Mukoko was dismissed by the governor of Kinshasa, while the justice minister ordered an investigation and the CSAC imposed an 88-day media embargo. The UDPS distanced itself from his statements and reaffirmed its commitment to non-violence.
