The author estimated that Félix Tshisekedi was living his last moments in power. He presented several recent events as signs of his isolation: the resumption of diplomatic relations between Belgium and Rwanda, which he referred to as an enemy, the appearance of Joseph Kabila at the head of the politico-military movement FRN without significant condemnation from the international community, and a search conducted by Belgian justice at Tshisekedi's home and that of his close associates. According to the author, the Congolese president had lost his support from Belgium, France, and the United States, while he had no reliable allies in Africa. He criticized those who minimized the significance of these events and argued that Donald Trump had not advanced peace in the DRC despite signing an agreement more than a year ago. Reminding that Bill Richardson had warned Mobutu to leave power or risk being dragged into the street, he urged Tshisekedi to prepare for his departure in order to avoid a repetition of history. #Rdc #Afrique #Politique (translated)

The Musonge questioned the transition of a former president, who had previously led the army and embodied the state, to armed struggle against the institutions. He asked whether this decision stemmed from violated convictions, an injustice, or a difficulty in accepting that power was held by others. The author also questioned the responsibility of this former leader in the system he had helped to construct, as well as the consequences of violence for civilians. He asked whether an injustice could justify a war and invited his readers to debate what should underlie their judgment: convictions or a refusal to lose power. #RDC #LeMusonge #PolitiqueCongolaise #PaixEnRDC #ProtectionDesCivils #ResponsabilitéPolitique #UDPS #PPRD #UNC #MLC #EnsemblePourLaRépublique #ECiDé #LGD #Leadership #Justice #DébatCitoyen #RDC #PolitiqueCongolaise #PaixEnRDC (translated)

Steve Wembi believed that Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner seemed to poorly welcome the prospect of Kigali hosting a Formula 1 Grand Prix. According to him, by stating that the event would contribute to improving the image of an authoritarian leader, the head of Congolese diplomacy gave the impression that Rwanda's ambitions were troubling her. He contrasted Kigali's sporting ambitions with Kinshasa's criticisms and wondered if Rwanda's success had become difficult to accept. #Rwanda #Formule1 #Sport (translated)

Dr. Laetitia Muadi called for the public silence of the United States, African countries, and the international community following Joseph Kabila's latest statement not to be interpreted as a abandonment of the DRC. She believed that Congolese sovereignty and a possible strategy by the authorities could explain the lack of public statements, and warned against hasty conclusions. Muadi recalled that, in her view, the United States imposed sanctions on Kabila on April 30, 2026, accusing him of supporting the AFC/M23 and contributing to the destabilization of the DRC. She indicated that these measures included freezing assets under U.S. jurisdiction and restrictions on transactions concerning him. She also referred to UN Security Council resolutions 2773 and 2808, which she presented as reaffirming the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the DRC. She described the situation of a former head of state accused of supporting an armed rebellion as serious, while clarifying that the accusations must be substantiated. Muadi called for support for the FARDC and for an effective military and diplomatic strategy to be combined with vigilance, information verification, and national unity. #RDC #Souveraineté #Diplomatie (translated)

Steve Wembi wrote that searches should continue in several residences suspected of being linked to Congolese President Félix Tshisekedi and his entourage, as part of an investigation into alleged money laundering activities.

POPTime described the video as beautiful and sad, stating that it was agonizing to see one of the world's greatest leaders—who, according to the publication, took Brazil off the hunger map twice—having to resort to TikTok to overcome fascism. https://t.co/Rdc05T5Ted #Brasil #Liderança #Fascismo (translated)

SAGE is very concerned about the outbreak of the Bundibugyo virus and the high number of deaths among children, said Anthony Scott, emphasizing that insecurity and the displacement of the population in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) continue to hinder access to care, disrupt surveillance, and delay the necessary research to respond to the outbreak. #Ébola #Vacinas #Saúde (translated)

DRIVER Tout-Kin estimated that the man he was referring to should not have taken up arms against his country. He pointed out the differences between the war of 1997 and that of 2026, notably the use of drones, WhatsApp, and digital tools, and wondered if this man, who was 25 years old in 1997, could keep up with 18-year-old fighters today. He stated that the current power was legitimate until 2028, if not beyond, and called for support for President Félix Tshisekedi and the official institutions, rather than private arrangements. He said he did not support the war, as he wanted to invest and prepare for his wedding in December. He finally prayed for the protection of the DRC and the president, so that the latter might find solutions to the crisis. #RDC #paix #guerre (translated)

Steve Wembi reported that Marie-Ange Mushobekwa had distanced herself from Joseph Kabila after the creation of the political-military movement Front for the Refoundation of the Nation (FRN).

Former President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Joseph Kabila, announced the formation of a new politico-military movement with the armed group M23 in an uncertain political context, as he has been sentenced to death for treason and war crimes. #RDC #JosephKabila #M23 (translated)

Carbone Beni presented the FRN as the "Rwanda Front to Harm the DRC" and described it as the new name for Rwandan occupation after the AFDL, the RCD, the CNDP, the M23, and the AFC/M23. He also claimed that a former head of state was returning at the helm of a rebellion and accused the Kabila camp of shamelessly betraying the nation. #RDC #Rwanda #Politique (translated)

Christian Bosembe wrote that facts had confirmed a denunciation made, according to him, before others by "the first among us," while some did not believe it. He wondered whether a public platform could still be granted to those he accused of participating in the propaganda of rebel groups or legitimizing their crimes. He recalled having announced a particularly difficult week and called for driving fear from people's minds, before invoking God's blessing for the DRC. #RDC #Actualité #LibertéDExpression (translated)
