Presidency: Félix Tshisekedi rearranges his cabinet and reduces the workforce

The Head of State Félix Tshisekedi proceeded, once again, to the retouching of his cabinet, with in particular new appointments, according to the ordinance read this Tuesday, May 23 on the national channel.

The President of the Republic has appointed Mbombo Muamba Stéphanie Special Envoy for the new Climate Economy, while Claude Ibalanky Ekolomba is now Roving Ambassador of the Head of State, that is to say, he must leave the head of the mechanism monitoring of the Addis Ababa Framework Agreement.

Dany Banza Maloba has also been appointed Roving Ambassador and will no longer assume the role of Head of State's Head of State in charge of monitoring the reforms of the Congolese National Police.

In the category of Mission Managers, the former head of Internal Security of the Head of State, Baitopola Mafuta André Didier joins the team and will take care of the Far North Zone in the company of Mrs. Bomandeke Imenga Fanny also maintained in charge of Far North Zone missions.

Recently appointed as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Transco, Lubanga Taylor returns to the Office of the Head of State as responsible for monitoring cooperation with the International Criminal Court (ICC).

In addition, Mbuyi Kazadi José has been appointed as political assistant and Yala Mayamba Yolande as technical assistant.

This restructuring of the cabinet of the Head of State Félix Tshisekedi comes after that operated in January of the current year.

In these implementations, some functions have been removed.

The appointment of Lubanga Taylor to the office of Head of State may have been due to the DRC’s recent complaint to the ICC. The International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan is expected to visit Kinshasa and Congolese provinces affected by rebel groups from May 28 to May 31.

DRC files second complaint to ICC against Rwanda army, M23 rebels​

Kinshasa, the EU and UN experts have accused neighbouring Rwanda of backing the M23 rebels but Kigali continues to deny any involvement.

Published On 24 May 2023

The Democratic Republic of the Congo on Tuesday made another formal referral to the International Criminal Court (ICC) to ensure the court will focus on the alleged systematic pillaging of its natural resources in the country’s east by the Rwanda Defence Force (RDF) and the M23 rebel group.

“The government of the DRC remains deeply concerned about the suffering of the populations in the part of its territory affected by the acts referred to in this case,” the Congolese Justice Ministry said in a statement.

The referral’s goal would be to investigate and prosecute any person involved in human rights violations between 2022 and 2023, it added.

The Tutsi-led M23 rebel group launched a new offensive in eastern DRC in March 2022, seizing towns and villages in the area that borders Uganda. The fighting forced more than one million people to flee.

Kinshasa has accused neighbouring Rwanda of backing the M23 but Kigali continues to deny any involvement.

In 2022, a United Nations experts’ report found “direct intervention” by Rwandan forces inside DR Congo. The European Union has also urged Rwanda to “stop supporting the M23″ and urged Kinshasa to “take all measures necessary to protect the civilian population in its territory”.

There is already a continuing ICC investigation into eastern DRC – since 2004 – and it is unclear if the new referral would shift the court’s focus.

To date, the ICC has convicted three different Congolese militia leaders – one of war crimes and the others of war crimes and crimes against humanity – for their roles in atrocities committed in the eastern DRC.

ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan is expected to visit Kinshasa and Congolese provinces affected by rebel groups from May 28 to May 31.

The Donation of US$I million for Kalehe, where 450 people died and 5,000 people are missing from a country, the size of China, which on record has substantially benefitted from the DRC, short payed taxes and contracts and is involved in a multitude of shenanigans, at a rate lower than the going brown paper bag rate, must have come like a slap in the face for the DRC population and Felix himself.

I didn't read anywhere that China will back pay what they robbed.
So far Felix got from Xi was Peking Duck, 21 canon shots, a walk past a row of pretty Chinese go-go girls and a memorandum of understanding that in future negotiations will not be DRC with companies, but DRC with China.
In other words you get even fukked over harder.

Looking also at the US$1 million dollar donation, that is a fucking great result for a 5 days jolly.
I hope for Felix that Xi paid 50% of his fuel bill, otherwise Felix will be out of pocket for this exercise.

You gotta be happy with that, he would have been better off with a new Dyson Vacuum cleaner for the misses.

I hope Felix didn't go to China with the thought he would get an instant injection of 10 biillion US dollars from China into the DRC coffers.

It is not how China operates, their normal mode of operations is that they have listening devices under your bed and in your bathroom, during the day they talk till your head hurts.
After having survived that for a couple of days, you can fuck off with a folder of paper contracts which will not be honoured, a big smile and a kiss on the cheek from Xi.

And the Chinese rip off continues.

Btw Shanghai is not where Zijin lives.
Shanghai is for cheap shopping for the misses and sightseeing at the metamorphosis of Shanghai into what it is now.

Felix was probably told by Xi 'If you are a good boy, Kinshasa will look like Shanghai in the foreseeable future, nudge nudge, wink, wink'.

I wonder what Felix thinks when he flies over the South China Sea on the way home.
Will Jules tell him on arrival home 'You have been fukked over with Peking Duck mate!'?

Poor Felix, doesn't look very happy, I don't think he got what he wanted.

No infrastructure, no compensation, no re-balancing of contracts........no fair !!!!

Now you know how AVZ shareholders feel Mr President.

Don't worry we have some champagne on ice we can share with you. Now back home with your tail between your legs just like has happened to Nigel a dozen times thanks to your inaction !!!

Didn't know Dyson makes diamond increased vacs.

Even a Dyson without a diamond would be better than a trip to Beijing free Peking Duck and a compulsory visit to the CCP museum.



I only got an English version of Mao's redbook, a Mao badge, an invite to communal gymnastic prior to work and a free Chinese spook wherever I went, except the toilet, with greetings from the Chinese Communist Party, but I wasn't a president.

Felix would have been happier in a bookshop in Taipei, without all the bullshit.

I'll tell you are few stories some time over a few beers about my time in China during the 1990s.

The compulsory medical examination by a (female) CCP doctor in a small regional city as part of the approval process to marry a local (which didn't end up happening. I think I was the first foreigner she'd examined.

The party officials sitting in the hallway on every floor of the nicer hotels where foreigners stayed monitoring who comes and goes, and checking ID papers of any locals in the hotel (made it tricky to smuggle my Chinese girlfriend into my room at the time, but where there's a will there's a way)

O and let’s have our two national TV stations do a co-operational agreement to pump out propaganda to the benefit of our two countries. Yep, CCP are supremo at that. Really , a trip to China and that was one thing on FT agenda. Who knows to what extend that co-operation goes, but why? It’s a communist country and DRC democratic ( just ) you don’t do that. The footage of FT walking with Xi in the red square and how staged the girl students were madly waving their little flags makes my blood boil. Xi has put China back 10 years with his Communist values and State authority.
