Kambere Denies Kabila’s Presence in Goma and Denounces a Machination
Kinshasa, DRC – The recent assertion by Ferdinand Kambere, a member of the People’s Party for Reconstruction and Democracy (PPRD), on TOP Congo radio, is sparking a heated controversy. According to Kambere, former President Joseph Kabila is not in Goma, contrary to circulating allegations. He challenged anyone claiming otherwise to provide tangible evidence.
This statement comes amid escalating tensions, where the current government accuses Joseph Kabila of being the true instigator of the M23/AFC actions in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
Kambere denounces a “machination” orchestrated by the current government to discredit the former president in the eyes of national public opinion.
Government Response: Seizure of Assets and Freezing of Kabila’s Holdings
In response to these accusations, the government has taken drastic measures. Joseph Kabila’s assets have been seized, and his holdings have been frozen within the national territory. His former political party, the PPRD, has been banned from operating.
This decision, justified by allegations of support for the M23/AFC, has been perceived by the PPRD as a political maneuver aimed at weakening the former president and his party.
