UDPS rejects opposition accusations implicating Force du progrès in violence during sit-in of "C64"

The UDPS rejects opposition accusations that the Force du progrès, a youth group close to the party, was involved in violence during a sit-in by the Coalition 64 (C64) on June 12 in Kinshasa. Secretary General Augustin Kabuya disputes the opposition's account and denounces a "strategy of provocation." He claims that certain individuals were used to fuel allegations against government supporters. Kabuya also contests the toll of deaths and injuries during the dispersal of the protest.
