“ 

The debate is closed

, notes this newspaper which notes that

after 23 months of lies and harassment, the truth finally came to light on Thursday at the People's Palace.

The Common Front for the Congo, a nebula that had usurped the place of political groups recognized by law, received a terrible blow to the head,

”said

Le Phare

.

This newspaper close to the opposition speaks of: "

The end of the reign of cheating, of a joke which had lasted too long and which has become fatal for the Nation.

"

She is chased

"

,

enthuses, for its part,

Le Soft International

which publishes in front page, a photo of Jeannine Mabunda Lioko, the now ex-president of the National Assembly, with this comment on the inside pages: "

 When the wheel of history.

America, Europe and Asia support President Félix Tshisekedi

, the newspaper supports, while affirming that the: " 

Debuff of the Kabila system announced several months ago in the United States, is experiencing an accelerated march

".

And to recall that Thambwe Mwamba, the president of the Senate, the other chamber of the Congolese parliament, is at the origin of all political crises ... "

 The man who never opened his mouth without making a blunder

, writes

The Soft International

.

Mabunda falls, general panic at the FCC

It is also on the front page of the daily

Econews

which reports.

It is live on the antennas of national television, that the political family of Joseph Kabila lived his descent into hell.

"

More than a humiliation, it is the general panic which gains the ranks of the FCC

, adds this daily newspaper which observes that it is also

the end of an era which will have lasted 18 years, that of the all powerful Joseph Kabila

".

For its part, the daily

La Prospérité

reveals that “ 

After the fall of Mabunda, Alexis Thambwe Mwamba

(the president of the Senate)

and all of his office, are also targeted by a motion of dismissal.

Same strategies, same goal: put an end to the pro-Kabila majority and defeat his entire system,

”explains the newspaper, which also states that:“

Things could accelerate so that before the end of the ordinary session, on December 15, the same specter of the requalification of the majority was emulated in the Senate

.

A question of whistling, probably, the end of recess and boosting the governance of the DRC in a different way by 2023,

”concludes the daily

La Prospérité

.

For the tri-weekly

Forum des As

, Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo wins his bet, “

the FCC is now at the time of self-criticism.

The deputies responded to the expectations of the people, writes the newspaper quoting Moïse Katumbi, before adding with these remarks by Patrick Kanga of the kabilist youth: The time has come for profound changes to take place in the PPRD as well as in the FCC
