DRC presidential contender Moïse Katumbi, threatens to launch a war to overthrow Joseph Kabila?
Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) political opposition leader, the magnate Moïse Katumbi, has threatened a forceful action against the regime of president Joseph Kabila if the latter fails to organize the presidential elections before December 23rd, 2018. According to sources contacted by AfroAmerica Network, the forceful action includes an armed rebellion or a military coup.
In an video interview with the news media "Libre Afrique", circulating on social media, Moïse Katumbi threatens to overthrow Joseph Kabila. At the same time, he accuses the DRC Independent Electoral Commission (CENI) of being responsible and complicit in the massacres of Congolese civilians, by failing to organize the elections.
He added that, this time, his warnings are not empty threats and are rooted in concrete actions already being planned.
Afroamerica Network has tried to find out more about the seriousness of these threats. In his interview, Moïse Katumbi talks about the heads of state who support his plan to go to war to seize power in Kinshasa. In late January 2018, Moïse Katumbi met the Rwandan dictator Paul Kagame in Davos, Switzerlang, before travelling together to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (see AfroAmerica Network:Rwandan General Paul Kagame Meets Congolese Opposition Leaders, Moise Katumbi and Mbusa Nyamwisi, in Davos and Addis-AbabaRwandan General Paul Kagame Meets Congolese Opposition Leaders, Moise Katumbi and Mbusa Nyamwisi, in Davos and Addis-Ababa ). Moïse Katumbi also has close relations with the Zambian president Edgar Lungu.
