DRC: Kabund downplays the infrastructure achievements of the regime and denounces a 'rural exodus' to Katanga

During an intervention on August 28, 2026, Jean-Marc Kabund questioned the infrastructure achievements claimed by the current regime, stating that good governance cannot be reduced to infrastructure construction. He highlighted macroeconomic and social indicators, such as GDP per capita and strikes in various sectors, to illustrate the country's deteriorating situation. Kabund also denounced the rural exodus to Katanga, where graduates find no opportunities despite the presence of infrastructure. He concluded by asserting that the regime seeks to maintain power through force, fearing free elections.
