The press has not yet finished talking about the Rwandan ambassador in the DRC who is accused of having denied the abuses that Rwandan army troops had inflicted on the citizens of Congo during the occupation.
Thus the daily
La République has the
title:
Vincent Karega still persona non grata!
This newspaper recalls that since September 4, the citizens' movements do not tire of demanding the departure of this indelicate diplomat.
These movements organized a siege in front of the residence of the person concerned just as they went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to demand the expulsion of this ambassador.
According to
The Republic,
even if the elements of the police force used tear gas to disperse the demonstrations, Lucha, Filimbi, Les Congolais Debouts and Le Mouvement des Indignés succeeded in placing their memo in the hands of a collaborator of Mrs. Marie Ntumba Nzeza, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The daily
Le Potentiel
is the headline on the Mapping report.
“
Congolese: Big mouth for money and power!
», Echoes the colleague.
“
What a strange people!
Is the Congolese unconscious, amnesic or negligent?
"Asks
Le Potentiel
before explaining:"
While the Mapping Report of more than 550 pages, produced from October 2008 to May 2009, describes with precision and thoroughness the atrocities committed in the DRC between March 1993 and June 2003, Congolese themselves are elsewhere.
In the meantime, in the country, it is impunity that has endured for 27 years now ...
"And
Le Potentiel
continues:"
Whether we kill peaceful citizens, rape women and young girls or if wealth is plundered, the heart of the Congolese beats only for money and power,
”concludes the daily.
Africa News
, a tri-weekly, takes an interest in the anxieties of the Federation of Businesses of Congo which, according to the newspaper, shouts "haro" on behavior harmful to the national economy.
This newspaper headlines: “When the bosses scold Bussa.
"When the FEC returns on Thursday, reports the tri-weekly, the bosses, through the mouth of their president, have made a severe diagnosis of the economy of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and sounded the bell.
The bosses, continues the newspaper, especially shouted "haro" on the behavior of the government and certain administrations harmful to the national industry.
They especially pointed their guns on the recent measure of the Minister of State in charge of Foreign Trade, Jean-Lucien Busa, who, according to Albert Yuma, quoted in
Africa News
, granted an exemption for the import of 100 000 tonnes of gray cement from Congo-Brazzaville.
A measure which, we can still read, increases poverty and unemployment in the country just as it destabilizes the local cement plant, which nevertheless has an annual capacity of 3.2 million tonnes.
