National Dialogue: Political and Civil Society Actors Contest the Framework Established by Félix Tshisekedi

The presidential ordinance establishing the preliminary organization committee for the national dialogue has sparked critical reactions in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Emery Okundji, Secretary General of FONUS, and Jean-Claude Katende, President of ASADHO, express concerns about the president's control over the process. The movement 'Sauvons la RDC', linked to former President Joseph Kabila, also rejects this ordinance, denouncing the discretionary power granted to the president in organizing the dialogue.
