        That’s what happens when a country is governed by a ruler who thinks that he is the law

        No I meant what I said. He thinks he is the law. He decides who goes to jail and when. He stops citizens from gaining access to their properties and country. He decides on elections. Everything has to go through him. You are right too when you say that he thinks is above the law

        In fact, he believes he is the law and acts as such.

        Another impostor, culprit, illegal immigrant, immoral man that western nations want to impose us to continue the tasks of his counterpart Joseph Kabila/Hyppolite Kanambe from Rwanda. Now, they are bringing a Zambo-Jew-Israelite to implement the last plan to split the DRC. Shame
