DRC: Peter Kazadi Says Joseph Kabila Is the 'Author' of the War in the East and Must Take Responsibility

Peter Kazadi, a member of UDPS, accuses Joseph Kabila of being responsible for the wars in eastern DRC, including the M23 and AFC groups, and of lacking the courage to publicly accept this responsibility. He also criticizes Kabila's attempt to deny responsibility during his speech, calling it a sign of weakness, and predicts that his efforts to mobilize the population will fail. Kazadi states that Kabila is responsible for violence and killings in the region and is trying to replicate a conquest strategy similar to that of 1996.
