Etienne Tshisekedi labels “Genocidaire” on DR Congo president
Kigali: With a few weeks to an eventual return to Kinshasa from exile, veteran opposition politician Étienne Tshisekedi wa Mulumba has accused Congolese president Joseph Kabila of incompetence and Genocide.
The exiled Tshisekedi claims President Kabila was “totally implicated” in the massacres detailed in the contested UN Mapping Report released on October 01, which also laid blame on Rwandan forces.
“How can you say that a "genocidaire", assassin of the people who knows nothing about running a country is on track?,” fired Tshisekedi in an interview with a Belgian newspaper Het Belang van Limburg.
“Although his name is not mentioned (in the UN report), Kabila is fully involved in those massacres and atrocities.”
Asked by the paper if he did not believe the words he was using are harsh, Tshisekedi said: “Not at all. It is the truth”.
The controversial 600-page UN report accuses the rebel forces of Laurent Kabila, the deceased father of President Kabila, of having carried some of the massacres of Rwandan refugees. There have been mixture responses from the Kabila government – with some officials condemning it as others welcomed the investigation.
President Kabila was an officer in the rebel forces of his father, then in the government forces, and later took over the presidency of DR Congo in 2001 following the father’s assassination. The UN report covered the period 1993-2003.
Tshisekedi also said President Kabila is governing the country arbitrarily. “Our leaders govern the country in an arbitrary manner, there is no good governance,” he said.
He added: “What vision does Kabila have for the future of Kabila of Congo?...”
The veteran politician battled ex-Congolese strongman Mubutu Sseseseko for decades until the dictator was deposed by the Laurent Kabila rebellion in 1997. Tshisekedi fell out with Kabila senior and left the country.
