The Democratic Republic of Congo at a Crossroads <br/><span style="font-size: 15px;">—Democratic Republic of Congo in Electoral Challenges and Foreign Occupation</span>
- 1 Central China Normal University, Wuhan, China
Abstract
The current political issue in the DRC seems to be reduced to the use of the voting machine and the cleaning of the electoral file. These are two important prerequisites, probably to think of transparent, credible elections even if the opening of the political space should have had the same importance as the other two requirements. In order to better grasp the relevance of the present problem, we must summarize the speeches of the Congolese opposition to the Cleptocratic power of Joseph Kabila in three key points, in particular the elections of 30 December 2018 , the occupation of the DR. Congo by Rwanda and the Domination of the DR. Congo by Multinational Corporations.
