DR Congo president-elect Felix Tshisekedi promises to be a leader for all

DR Congo's presidential election winner, Felix Tshisekedi, has paid respects to outgoing President Joseph Kabila. He described him as a partner in democratic change. Speaking in the capital Kinshasa, Tshisekedi said he would be the president of all Congolese. Tshisekedi had not been widely considered the leading candidate and is relatively untested. He is the son of late opposition leader Etienne, who pursued the presidency for many years.

Congo is very important for the African Economy so the AU should take every means to ensure that there is piece. Kabila and Tshikedi are rooted in Africa .Kabila was not given the full chance of implementing his vision because of the senseless wars created to make the country ungovernable. Who arms the rebels?. Congo occupies a very important position in the African economy and the AU should not be outsmarted by EU and USA. Economic liberation is now on and we should change the way we look at issues if we are to succeed. The world should know that a stable Africa is better than a chaotic one to all parties .

Mr Fayulu has strangely benefited from French and Belgian media campain support as well as social media network, which has resulted in the propulsion of a candidate without real base but supported by Bemba, MLC party president who was suddenly freed from the ICC in strange circumstances just before the election after 10 years in jail and Katumbi a rich businessman who has defected from President Kabila rank. They have used their money and relations around the world especially in Belgium and France to influence the result of election in Congo. That was unfair to a party like UDPS of Tshisekedi in a poor country but which has been the main opposition party for more than 37 years, well organised and having a solid base in the whole country. The agitation you see from politicians in Belgium and France and media is from people who have been bitten in their own game and are claiming to be robed after their card Fayulu lost. Some catholic clergymen have played a very strange role recently. 2 weeks ago, while just few days into the counting of votes by the electoral committee, since they had also organised they own parallel counting office, with only 20% of their results in, they called journalists to declare that they knew who won the election but could not reveal the name. And then 1 day after the proclamation of the winner by the Electoral commission 2, days ago, while, 90% of the congolese people were all peacefully chanting and dancing to the winning by Mr Tshisekedi, in a country all the world had predicted will fall into violence when the results will be announced, the same members of the influential Catholic church in Congo did something strange again; without consideration at all of the consequences on the people they supposed to protect in a very flammable environment, they called journalists to say that the results by the electoral commission was not conform to the truth and did not give the name of the winner. And now its agitation again in Europe, in media, in social network by supporters of Fayulu and Tshisekedi and there will certainly be death of people. And me to ask, what interests are some of the Catholic church clergy men in Congo serving for them to be so agitated? Why they did not give their winner name even after the elections? Are they afraid that they do not have enough proof to substantiate their claims or to have contradictions in their calculations. The Pope must put order in its ranks like he is doing in the recent scandals by his men. All are not saints. The Church has been for too long infiltrated by all sorts of people: agents, spy's and you name it. With Tshisekedi and its party strong organisation, Belgium and France are loosing a country that they for decades always wanted to keep in weak state because more controllable for their own interests, a very rich country as Debra, your correspondent said but yet its people are among the poorest in the world. It looks like they have lost it to Anglo Saxons. Now they are calling and running around the world and promised to bring the "stolen elections" in their terms to the Security Council and shake the whole world. They wanted to influence the election and they have been beaten to their own game.

[edificationspirituelle]

Tshisekedi is just a doll representing kabila ...
The agreement that was concluded between both of them says that the central bank of Congo, the home office, the ministries of justice will be ruling by kabila's camp.
Thus, Tshisekedi will only be a president on paper .
