Security and political crisis in DR Congo: LUCHA criticizes Kabila’s involvement in the FRN and urges Tshisekedi to uphold the constitutional order

LUCHA expressed concern over the worsening political and security crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in a statement issued in Lubumbashi on October 21. The movement condemned the use of arms to seize power and criticized former president Joseph Kabila’s involvement at the head of the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation (FRN), a political-military initiative stemming from the AFC/M23. It called for disputes to be settled through democratic means and for those responsible to face justice. LUCHA also urged Félix Tshisekedi to fulfil his constitutional responsibilities.
