Joseph Kabila more and more alone!
Honorary President Joseph Kabila is increasingly isolated.
After power, the former President of the Republic is let go by his former collaborators who whispered words of love in his ear.
The foxes pack up and leave after grabbing the cheese the crow was holding.
The perched tree is no longer furnished and empties day after day.
They sang Kabila.
They even deified him at a time when the people cried out in misery.
Some of them have gone so far as to write books and defend the most unfathomable theses to consume the former president and find a parade to keep him in power as long as possible.
But, it took Felix Tshisekedi to land at the top of the state, for the Congolese nation to discover that those who claimed to be pure and hard Kabilists, were only simple unrepentant ventriotes who couldn't care less about the succession of the Mother -Country.
In the eyes of informed observers, indeed, this transhumance of pure and hard Kabilists is not at all surprising, because in his time Joseph Kabila had admitted that he lacked 15 good collaborators to put the country back on track.
Today, time seems to agree with the predecessor of Félix Tshisekedi who said a lot about the realities of Congolese political power without anyone, neither hell nor the devil being able to give him credit.
Blinded or stupefied by the political opposition of yesteryear?
Difficult to answer.
But also, although everything that Joseph Kabila said seems to be true at first glance, does this customs as much responsibility in the management of the res publica?
Far from it, because reality can in no way obscure the truth No matter how long it takes.
That said, we are entitled to ask ourselves in which school the son of Mzée studied and what sciences does he apply to understand so well and in the smallest details the Congolese politician?
Alive, the timeless Kabila would do better to work from now on to establish his transformative ideology of Zairian man in Congolese if he still thinks about it, otherwise the deluge is before us with this new political class.

Chinese contracts: "It will have to be renegotiated very well so that we can benefit from it and that the APSC fully plays its role" (Fiyou Ndondoboni)
The president of the Orange party welcomes the decision taken by the Congolese State to proceed with the review of Chinese contracts so that the country can really benefit from them.
In an interview with Actu7.cd this Wednesday, March 22, 2023, Fiyou Ndondoboni "calls on leaders to do everything possible to prevent us from finding ourselves in the situation of the interests of individuals".
“We welcome this initiative, moreover the Head of State himself had noted that this agreement which was signed between the DRC and the Chinese side did not benefit the Congolese.
So on the basis of that already, he had initiated a reform.
This reform which went in the direction of setting up an agency which was to precisely manage the agreements signed between the government of the DRC with the private partners”, declared Fiyou Ndondoboni.
And to continue, “yesterday, these agencies operated in the sense of protecting purely individual interests, and the government did not benefit from it, the country did not benefit from it.
But today, thanks to the vision of the Head of State, the country must benefit from it because it is the property of the entire population, and that is what justifies the establishment of this agency (Steering, coordination and monitoring agency for agreements signed between the DRC and private partners, APSC)”.
"Today, it was unacceptable that Gecamines, for example, which gives different spaces to a small percentage, the rate of realization of projects in the DRC is minimal, and then the management of Sicomines is so opaque, no one understands what be on it.
So today, this reform initiative is there, this agency which has been put in place to resolve this issue will have to play its role fully, because if the agency does not play its role and the real experts, the people who understand this file do not play the role, what will happen?
We are going to get into this situation because those responsible for the situation of these contracts (Office of coordination and monitoring of the Sino-Congolese program, BCPSC in acronym headed by the kabilist Moïse Ekanga, Editor's note) today it is because that was badly negotiated yesterday", explained the framework of the Sacred Union of the Nation before specifying that today it will have to be very well negotiated so that we can benefit from it, and that this negotiation cannot block the mechanism for the disbursement of money, because you remember that Mr. Freddy Shembo, director general of the agency for the management and coordination of the agreements signed between the DRC and the private partners, made a declaration that there was a availability of $500 million so that it can cover other activities that were planned.
For Ndondoboni, "this discussion must not block the mechanism because Sicomines owes us money".
“It is all of these things that we will have to see and that the agency fully play its role in this file so that the Congo remains and becomes effectively a winner, otherwise we will return to the situation of the interests of the each other,” he concluded.
As a reminder, the former president of the DRC Joseph Kabila (2001-2019) had negotiated in 2008 a contract in the form of barter - cobalt and copper against the construction of infrastructures - with a Chinese consortium for an amount of 9 billion dollars, renegotiated to six billion under pressure from the IMF.
To date, only nearly 2.74 billion have been disbursed by the Chinese side, mainly in the form of investments.
Hence the decision of the current power in Kinshasa to proceed with the revisitation of this contract, because considering that the Republic has been cheated.
