Joseph Kabila’s arrival in Goma marks an important stage in the crisis facing the Democratic Republic of Congo. This is not a regional conflict, but a national crisis, linked to the concentration of power in the hands of President Félix Tshisekedi.
He has sidelined his opponents, monopolized the country’s resources for the benefit of himself and his entourage, and played the toxic ethnic card like none of his predecessors.
The creation of the Alliance Fleuve Congo, led by Corneille Nangaa, and now Kabila’s rallying, further weaken Kinshasa’s official narrative of sovereignty and territorial control. The crisis is first and foremost political and internal, rooted in catastrophic management.
