SADC: Tshisekedi in a diplomacy of war

 ”.

This is on the front page of the daily newspaper

Le Journal

which looks back on the 42nd summit of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), which was held in Kinshasa on August 17th.

After more than two decades of destabilization, writes the colleague, the space of the DRC would begin to represent a danger for all of Africa if appropriate measures are not taken.

Tolerating widespread insecurity in this continental country with invaluable resources, the tabloid notes, is the big risk that should be quickly corrected.

The colleague adds that the leaders of the SADC have understood this well.

Félix Tshisekedi is today at the center of all interests, notes

Le Journal

which evokes political interests in relation to the great powers and economic interests in relation to African and regional powers.

SADC States want at all costs to be part of the new vision of Greater Congo, which consists of building a relationship of trust and concluding win-win partnerships.

The tri-weekly,

Africanews

 is interested in the controversy over the presence of finance inspectors in public companies and state services.

There are on the one hand those who denounce an excess of zeal on the part of the IGF (General Inspectorate of Finance), and on the other hand, those who believe that this practice guarantees good management.

Financial patrol: Alingete does not let go

 ", writes the newspaper which reveals that it is the only one, with President Félix Tshisekedi, to know the calendar of the financial patrol.

Jules Alingete Key argues, according to our colleagues, that old habits always tend to come back if therapy has not been sufficient.

According to 

Africanews

  , the Inspector General of Finance boasts of good results and does not intend to let go. 

Plot for the assassination of President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi: Alert or diversion

 ?

The daily

Forum des As

asks the question and returns to the statements of Brigadier General Baseleba bin Mateta, a senior military magistrate arrested for having attempted, not long ago, to deliver weapons to Christian Kenga Kenga, sentenced to death and detained in Ndolo military prison.

Before the High Military Court, this officer requested an audience with the President of the Republic to avoid him: " 

What had happened to Mzee Laurent Désiré Kabila 

".

Indeed, Mobutu's successor was assassinated in 2001 in his residence at the Palais de Marbre.

For many observers, writes

Forum des As

, the only way to judge the seriousness of this statement would be to authorize this hearing.
