The account indicated that President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo had received Téné Birahima Ouattara, the Ivorian Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, bearer of a message from President Alassane Ouattara. He presented this meeting as a sign of diplomatic dialogue between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Côte d'Ivoire, and believed that their exchanges strengthened inter-African relations.

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)

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 wrote that a politico-military movement called the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation (FRN) had been created, with Joseph Kabila as its president.

According to him, Claude Ibalanky had read the declaration announcing the movement, which aimed to end the power of Félix Tshisekedi, described by Wembi as tyrannical. #Politique #RDC #Mouvement (translated)

Jean-Pierre LIHAU accused an unnamed person of treason and acting as an enemy agent amid the aggression against the nation. He stated that after 18 years in power, this person would seek to repeat their "exploits" of 1997 with Rwandan allies. LIHAU claimed that the Rwandans overthrew J.D. Mobutu in 1997 and placed one of their own at the head of the Congolese army. He also accused them of having assassinated LD Kabila in 2001 and having massacred millions of Congolese. He described the country that Félix Tshisekedi had inherited as infiltrated and destructured, with the M23, over 150 active armed groups, and a socio-economic situation that he termed catastrophic. LIHAU added that the Congolese were no longer fooled and would know how to take their responsibilities without giving in to intimidation. He asserted that the Republic was one and indivisible, that it would rise again, and that justice would catch up with its enemies. #RépubliqueDémocratiqueDuCongo #Justice #Politique (translated)

Bonheur Muamba called on Lord Chris to demonstrate consistency and not distort the facts by supporting the regime. He wrote that public payments should, in his view, be based on certified documents and rigorous controls, including the verification of compliance lists, and not on mere online statements. He added that promoting national entrepreneurship did not justify the automatic validation of claims. He asserted that the rule of law desired by President Félix Tshisekedi also applied to the economy and that the Deputy Prime Minister of Economy, Daniel Mukoko Samba, was simply applying the law, which required an audit, verification, and compliance certification before any payment. Muamba also stated that equality before the law concerned all oil operators and urged his interlocutor to adhere to Congolese laws rather than what he termed social media blackmail. #RDC #Économie #Droit (translated)
