CONGOLESE NOBEL PRIZE WINNER, MUKWEGE SENDS WARNING TO TSHISEKEDI

Congolese Nobel Peace Prize winner, Dr Denis Mukwege has cautiously warned President Felix Tshisekedi to avoid betraying the people when he governs the Democratic Republic of Congo as part of a coalition with his predecessor, Joseph Kabila.

Mukwege was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in December together with 25-year-old Iraqi Yazidi Nadia Murad for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war.

On Wednesday, the parties of Tshisekedi and that of Kabila signed an agreement to form a coalition government led by the Common Front for Congo (FCC), the political party of former President Kabila which holds a huge majority in Congo’s parliament.

He urged Tshisekedi to establish a political partnership that would allow him the freedom to assume the prerogatives of the office of President of the Republic without constraint from “those who managed poorly yesterday”.

The people of Congo feel that a partnership government with Kabila’s party will give the former president a lot of influence in decision making.
