“The FRN’s creation: statements on one side and silence on the other show the complexity of Joseph Kabila’s choice,” says Me Jean Claude Katende

On the program “A Look at the Week’s News,” Me Jean Claude Katende says that conflicting statements and silence surrounding the creation of the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation (FRN) demonstrate the complexity of Joseph Kabila’s choice. The program also examines stalled peace processes in eastern DR Congo, where meetings and discussions have brought no change on the ground. It further reports on the temporary suspension of new admissions to Makala Central Prison, which holds at least 16,155 people despite being designed for 1,500, including 303 women and 201 minors.
