Moïse Moni Della, leader of Camp de la nation et de Conade, has expressed concerns over the recent resolutions made by C64, a group that held a two-day conclave in Rome. Della described the resolutions as "mi-figue mi-raisin," or half-fig and half-grape, implying that they are unrealistic and simplistic. Specifically, he questioned the possibility of organizing democratic and inclusive elections within the constitutional deadline without the participation of North and South Kivu.
Della's concerns revolve around the potential consequences of holding elections without the involvement of these two provinces. He warned that such actions could lead to the "yougoslavisation" or "soudanisation" of the Democratic Republic of Congo, a scenario that he believes is being planned by former President Joseph Kabila and Rwandan President Paul Kagame. Della's statements highlight the ongoing challenges facing the country's electoral process.
Despite his criticisms, Della welcomed C64's willingness to participate in an inclusive dialogue. However, he suggested that they should accept the current government's initiative to convene a dialogue, rather than demanding that it be done in a concerted manner. Della emphasized that it is customary for the regime to take the lead in organizing such events.
The leader of Camp de la nation et de Conade also touched on the principle of "compétences d'attribution," which dictates that certain powers are reserved for specific entities. In this case, Della argued that the current government, led by President Félix Tshisekedi, has the authority to convene and organize the dialogue.
Della stressed that the priority for both the government and opposition should be national unity, peace, and cohesion. He urged stakeholders to put aside their differences and work towards saving the country from potential fragmentation. The situation remains complex, with various stakeholders vying for influence.
Meanwhile, other news from the region indicates that the Ebola outbreak in Kenya has prompted the United Nations to mobilize $2 million to contain the spread of the disease. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the government has launched a project to improve healthcare through telemedicine.
In a separate development, Minister of Mines Louis Watum Kabamba has met with industry leaders to address challenges facing the mining sector in Lualaba province. The discussions focused on finding solutions to issues related to the exploitation of the region's mineral resources.
