On the occasion of his trip to Namibia, his fifth abroad, Felix Tshisekedi answered several questions about politics in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Many little phrases that make a lot of ink flow.
After demonstrations of strength Kabila camp, Felix Tshisekedi wanted, they say in his entourage, take the hand and clarify a few points. " The president that I am will not accept to be just a president who reigns but who does not govern ," warned the new Congolese head of state.
Last week, his predecessor Joseph Kabila gathered around him the party leaders of his coalition , the FCC, and then his deputies. He claims control of three quarters of the seats of the national and provincial assemblies. His side asks President Tshisekedi to appoint a prime minister from his ranks.
Towards a cohabitation?
But for the new Congolese head of state, from the ranks of the opposition, " there is a group that claims to be the majority, we are waiting to identify it and then we will go into discussions ". That's what he told the Congolese community in Windhoek. However, the Congolese constitution allows him at any time to appoint an informant - a man of confidence - to identify this majority, but so far, he had refused.
Are we moving towards cohabitation? Not so sure, because to the press, Felix Tshisekedi also admitted the existence of an agreement with Camp Kabila, but " so that the alternation happens peacefully, " he said. The other objective, explained the Congolese head of state, is that there is " a coalition with Joseph Kabila's camp ".
