        #DRC: You’re Kabila’s brother lawyer so we understand why you’re saying there is not problem. For you guys everything has been great for the last 17 years since you’re making easy money corruptions, embezzlement, illicit exploitation of public ressources, etc.

        #RDC: Que son âme repose en paix et que son sacrifice ne soit pas vain. On doit maintenir la pression et libérer le Congo pour que les flammes éternelles des tous nos martyrs brûlent à jamais dans nos cœurs et mémoires pour les siècles des siècles.

        UN said it deployed its troops to the streets to observe and record any violence. I'm trying to figure out the purpose of UN, only statistics ?

        His time is nearing and end, it doesn't matter how hard he tries to resist it. Not after he has shed blood... Seeing as the politicians couldn't do it, seems like the people might just do it.
