        This guy has killed innocent civilians just because they were expressing their constitutional rights by holding peaceful protests and he has the audacity of claiming that there is no political uncertainty in Congo!!! Unbelievable

        Even as a young boy, 1963, we kept running away from DRC, same people, different countries. Let us put a stop to this! The DRC is too big to be managed from Kinshasa. Too far away. Bigger than all East Africa. Subdivide it into manageable units. Hunting ground for king Leopold?

        Ah what wonderful a treat being oblivious and delusional can be.... See now I wouldn't be surprised of he actually believes that. It's uncanny how these politicians create an alternative reality in their minds and choose to front that to everybody else who is eyes wide open

        He is no thing different from his African counterparts. Frankly the guy tells you that he doesn’t want to give the power to anybody, so people have to look other alternatives. But the war is not the solution, it will hold you back and destroy the nation.
