« We will not share power »: Michel Bongongo defends a people-centered dialogue and justifies the absence of Kabila and AFC/M23

During an intervention, Professor Michel Bongongo criticized previous political dialogues in the DRC, labeling them as mere power-sharing among the same actors. He argued that the dialogue must include the Congolese population and praised the framework proposed by President Tshisekedi. Regarding the absence of Joseph Kabila and AFC/M23, Bongongo explained that they are not excluded but engaged in a preliminary stage before the broader dialogue.
