In the DRC, this weekend, the community of the Greater Katanga region was organizing a rally in Kinshasa. Officially in honor of Prime Minister Sylvestre Ilunga, from the region. But there was also talk of a rapprochement between former President Joseph Kabila and Moses Katumbi, formerly his ally.
In addition to the nationalism of the late Laurent Désiré Kabila, highlighted by the coordinator of the kabilist platform, Albert Yuma, the role played by his son, Joseph Kabila, for the unity of Katanga, is not the least.
According to our sources, through this meeting of influential personalities of Greater Katanga, the organizers of this platform envisaged the rapprochement between Joseph Kabila and Moïse Katumbi to make peace. And it is former Kabila's special advisor, Jean Mbuyu, who is in charge of mediation, says Jeune Afrique .
The specter of a return in 2023
If the Kabila clan is willing to discuss, the relatives of the former governor of Katanga, they seem suspicious. They fear to serve Joseph Kabila for his return to power in 2023.
Opponents like Gabriel Kyungu and Jean-Claude Muyambo, or Abraham, the brother of Moïse Katumbi, and many others informed of these intentions, declined the invitation. For now, the former governor of Katanga and his platform Together for Change are working for the establishment of a democratic opposition. They are sure to get the job of opposition critic.
