The C64 conference in Rome has concluded after two days of deliberations, producing what Moïse Moni Della describes as "half-fig, half-grape" resolutions. A thorough analysis of their communiqué reveals unrealistic and simplistic proposals, particularly regarding the organization of elections within the constitutional deadline. The situation in the North-Kivu and South-Kivu regions makes it challenging to hold democratic and inclusive elections within the given timeframe.

Moïse Moni Della questions the feasibility of organizing elections in the current conditions, suggesting that it may lead to a "yugoslavization" or "sudanization" of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, allegedly desired by President Kabila and Rwandan President Kagame. However, he commends the C64 for their willingness to participate in an inclusive dialogue, emphasizing the need for them to accept the ongoing process initiated by the Head of State.

According to Moïse Moni Della, it is customary for the regime convoking a conference or dialogue to assume the role of organizer. He cites historical examples, including the Belgians at the Brussels Round Table, Kasa-Vubu at the Lovanium conclave, Mobutu at the Sovereign National Conference, and Kabila during the consultations. Therefore, it is legitimate for the current government, led by Félix Tshisekedi, to convene and organize the dialogue before entrusting it to a facilitation team.

Moïse Moni Della emphasizes that the principle of administrative law states that competencies are attributed. He stresses that the priority for both the government and opposition should be national unity, peace, and cohesion. In order to save the country from "yugoslavization," he calls for putting aside differences and divergences.

The C64 conference resolutions have sparked mixed reactions, with some stakeholders welcoming the initiative while others, like Moïse Moni Della, express concerns about the practicality of the proposed solutions. The situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo remains complex, with various stakeholders vying for influence and pushing for their agendas.

As the country navigates these challenges, Moïse Moni Della's comments reflect the diverse perspectives on the Rome conference outcomes. His call for prioritizing national unity and peace resonates with many who are concerned about the country's stability and future.

The road ahead for the Democratic Republic of the Congo remains uncertain, with various stakeholders waiting to see how the government and opposition will engage in dialogue and address the country's pressing issues.
