She Okitundu: "If we wanted to deal with the UDPS, the legitimate personality was Félix Tshisekedi"

Léonard She Okitundu, former Minister of Foreign Affairs under Joseph Kabila, discloses his key role in the Ibiza and Venice talks that led to the rapprochement between Kabila's camp and UDPS. He states that Félix Tshisekedi, then head of external relations for UDPS, was the legitimate figure to negotiate with the opposition and was kept informed of the discussions. He denies that the Prime Ministership was exchanged for the « slippage » of the electoral calendar and criticizes the legitimacy of the Badibanga and Tshibala governments formed from UDPS, citing trust issues within the party.
