Former DRC president Joseph Kabila broke his silence last Friday and addressed Congo’s national failures, regional instability, and the utter incompetence of the current Kinshasa regime of Felix Tshisekedi.
The Tshisekedists’ responded with an insult-laden meltdown, led by none other than the street vendor turned “secretary general” of the ruling party UDPS, the ever-erratic Augustin Kabuya.
Kabuya stood before the tribalist fanatics of the UDPS and with trembling lips declared, “Kabila is not Congolese. Kabila is a Rwandan subject.” Yes, this is the intellectual level of discourse within the ruling clique of Limete. These are the men running a country of 100 million people, flinging childish slurs at a former president because he dared to point out their crimes and failures.
Tshisekedi’s regime has no solutions—only scapegoats. And its favourite scapegoat is “Rwanda.” Whenever faced with a new disaster—be it in the economy, in the east, or in the diplomacy—Limete’s mafia clowns default to their tribal playbook: blame the Rwandans. If you criticise them, you’re a Rwandan. If you oppose them, you’re an agent of Rwanda. If you succeed where they fail, you must be Rwandan.
Former President Kabila pointing out their failures? Must be a Rwandan. Never mind that he was a Congolese president for 18 years. Never mind that he helped keep the DRC relatively intact through civil wars. For Tshisekedi’s gang, none of that matters. Their entire worldview is filtered through xenophobia, delusion, and victimhood.
Tshisekedi and his gang have never once taken responsibility. From rigged elections to looted budgets, from massacres in Ituri to army defections in North Kivu, it’s always someone else’s fault. It’s Kabila. It’s Rwanda. It’s the Americans. Never UDPS. Never Tshilombo.
This is the reign of idiocy—the Tshilomboist experiment in mediocrity—where the bar isn’t just low, it’s 6 feet underground. The truth? Tshisekedi and his gas-peddler-turned-pundit sidekick Kabuya were never meant to rule.
