It seems like Kabila is pulling all the stops to retain power. Forgive me if I sound too superstitious, but only a great spiritual attack will dethrone him and his staff at this point.
There isn't internet in DR Congo since 31 december. I wasn't able to which my family a happy newyear.The problem with Kabila is that he's scared to lose all the money he had the past 18 years, that he had to the prison of The Hague where Bemba used to be. That's also why he kept saying in interviews that he will be killed with a bullet in his head. He trust nobody and wants his family to save. But he's not realizing that he's making it worser the longer he is in power. He is very scared to be juged for all the crimes he made, by killing innocent people, influent politicians, those massacres he made in Equateur, Kivu, Kasai (2016, 2017)with Kamuina Nsapu, Kongo Central (2006) to fight BDK, Kinshasa (2006, 2011, 2015, 2016, 2017). He don't want to be juged alone. He says that it wasn't is fault and that he was influenced by those people who used to work with Mobutu. The people who are behind him since 2003 are those who used to work with Mobutu. Belgium said to him that it was better to have people behind him who had some experience in politics. So in 2003 alot of ex'Mobutists returned from exil and started to work with Kabila. If you rememeber well in 2001, he said that he would stay until 2005 in power and gave then the power back to the population by organising elections. But those ex'Mobutists wanted him to stay in power, so he participated to the elections and they also changed the constitution for him by, because he was to young to participate to the elections. In reality he lost the 2006 elections, because people of Western Congo (Kinshasa, Equateur, Bandundu, Bas Congo and Kasai) didn't like him. But he won because of Europeans prefering him above Bemba to protect their interests in Congo. Then from 2006 it started to become very worse with doing alot of crimes. We all saw how he killed Chebeya who knew alot secrets about him (for example the killing of Aime Kabila, LD Kabila's daugther) or the killing of Armand Tungulu. This all wouldn't happen if Etienne Tshisekedi accepted to participate to the 2006-elections instead of boycotting it. People used then to say that he was influenced by Belgium to not participate and that they gave him money by PPRD-officials. With Tshisekedi then saying that couldn't participate to elections with a forgeiner. Then he started slowly to retire from the policital scene with everybody being sure that the elections of 2011 would be Kamerhe vs Kabila and that Kabila wouldn't get problems. But then suddenly in 2010 Tshisekedi made a statement that he would participate to the elections of 2011 and some rumors of Belgium having influenced him again, because of being angry that Kabila gave alot of interests to China. With Kabila's camp being scared and changing the constitution by the elections only getting one round, in hope that Kabila would win with a litte percentage above Tshisekedi and Kamerhe. Tshisekedi won then the elections of 2011, but Kabila's made a big fraud and corrupted pastor Ngoy Mulunda like they did to Apollinaire Malu Malu in 2006. From 2014 they started to do everything to change the constitution, so that Kabila could stay longer in power. But it didn't work because of the pression of Western countries and people in Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, Kisangani and other cities keeping protesting. With them deliberately not organising elections in 2016 and 2017.
Talking about politics I remember that Bill made a song for Tshisekedi why he didn't face consequences like many artist do in Congo when they pubblicly express their sustain for other candidates?
