Never in the history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has the nation been burdened with a leader as despicable, divisive, and utterly inept as Félix Tshisekedi. Since assuming the presidency through an electoral nomination by his predecessor on December 30, 2018, Tshisekedi has proven himself to be nothing short of a disgrace. His mediocrity knows no bounds, coupled with a display of tribalism, irresponsibility, and incapacity to lead. This self-proclaimed president is illegitimate by all measures.
For a start, in 2018, Félix Tshisekedi, who secured a mere 15% of the votes, was handpicked by Joseph Kabila at Kingakati to lead the DRC. Since then, Tshisekedi has wielded his newfound accidental power to imprison his political adversaries. This autocratic maneuver not only exacerbated the regime’s plummeting popularity but also exposed Tshisekedi’s despotic tendencies. Notoriously known for his fervent tribalism, Tshisekedi also orchestrated a systematic takeover, ensuring that key positions in the regime were exclusively occupied by members of his Luba ethnic group.
Furthermore, in 2023, Félix Tshisekedi was handed 73.44% of the votes by his tribal crony, Denis Kadima Kazadi. The electoral fraud received the green light from the Constitutional Court, led by another Luba Kasaïen, Dieudonné Kamuleta Badibanga. Any dissent from the Congolese populace will be brutally quashed, by figures within Tshisekedi’s tribal connections. Rose Mutombo Kiese, a Luba Kasaïenne holding the position of Minister of Justice, is poised to stop any form of legal protest. Furthermore, if citizens dare express their discontent with the presidential election results, Peter Kazadi Kankonde, also a Luba Kasaïen and the Minister of the Interior, is ready to deploy armored vehicles to crush the demonstrators.
Despite all this, millions of Congolese are up in arms and shouting at the top of their lungs that Tshisekedi is a thief: Moyibi, Moyibi, Moyibi! They are ready to take to the streets to end Tshisekedi’s illegitimate presidency. The Congolese populace vividly recalls the horrors of Tshisekdi’s first term such as the ongoing ethnic cleansing against Congolese Rwandaphones and the carnage in Goma on August 30, 2023, by his Republican Guard. The Congolese Masses remember Tshisekedi’s extravagant lifestyle, marked by 666 taxpayer-funded trips to peddle the narrative that Rwanda, a nation just 1.12% the size of the DRC, bears the blame for all the woes of his presidency. This was nothing more than a ruse to indulge in lavish parties in Marbella, a luxurious seaside retreat in southern Spain.
In a nutshell, Tshisekedi’s illegitimate presidency will end up going into the dustbin of Congolese history. With his gang of former Matonge mafiosi, Tshilombo is currently in the race for rapid enrichment on a gargantuan scale at the expense of the Congolese people. His first 5 years at the helm of the DRC were marred by a litany of atrocities – from theft and pillaging to outright slaughter, murder, and the arbitrary imprisonment of his people. The time has come for the Congolese to invoke Article 64 of the constitution and expel him, whether into exile or, better yet, behind the bars of a prison cell where he belongs.
