For this newspaper, after having succeeded, in a “
brilliant match
” in removing Jeannine Mabunda Lioko from the perch of the National Assembly, the Sacred Union is moving towards this grand slam which would consist tomorrow in bringing down Alexis Thambwe Mwamba from its pedestal quilted Senate, to place it in the common room and, suddenly, to democratically bring down the government Sylvestre Ilunga Ilunkamba.
Nothing is impossible, say the colleagues of
