50 years later, and now?
Yes, now what? To see the President, is this a sign of change? Now that the dust has settled on the coals remained on the ground (According to a saying of the descendants of Nzinga Nkuvu), talking about the fiftieth feasting. Let me talk about it then that nobody speaks.
I have seen beautiful pictures with jets of water and light through electricity. It is a miracle in the land of daily water cuts and load shedding.
Everyone was nice and also nice, do not rely brawlers. The joy was there.
President had cut his beard unkempt salt-pepper for a flawless look better suited to the situation. Part of the city of Kinshasa had been cleaned (O miracle!) Ya 'Mungul should have seen it.
And then there were the guests:
- The MLC was represented by its sponsor Yoweri Museveni, a former friend of M'zé. Antoine Ghonda an enemy for reasons you know.
- King Albert II, without Louis Michel, was Leopold II and Bwana Kitoko but this time without speech. One way to prevent another Lumumba appeared. Diamond with a small gift for his wife. She did not make a gift to a foundation of Cheguer, value estimated by the Belgians themselves: 200,000 euros. (Read the Evening Mag).
- Robert Mugabe, another friend of M'zé is the man who helped to block the advance of Rwandan soil of the DRC with the help of Namibians. Kagame's political opponent he hates cordially from the Commonwealth.
- Sassou Nguesso has always been there despite all the dead Congolese-Zairean Brazzaville beach. It came without the head Enyele supposed to be home. Plus nobody notices. He still has some ex-FAZ waiting for who knows what on his land.
- And Deby? Frankly, I still wonder what he was doing there? Maybe Sarkozy to please?
- Paul Biya and Bongo were happy to be there.
- The best is him: Kagame. The most popular. Some even make him the real president of the DRC (For laughter?) The friend of all: Tshisekedi, Mende, Endundo, while the RCD Ruberwa and Emile Ilunga, Tambwe, Kin-Key, mbusse, .. . The list is long, long. In short, everyone who is part of the DSA and its ilk. Not to mention that if Jo Kabila is here is historically thanks to him and Museveni through the ADFL.
Apparently, he was missing and Oscar Kashala Ngbanda. The latter was perhaps incognito. More hooting
that such and such had no right to be there. But if one were to rely solely on the fact that those who had blood on their hands of the Congolese should not be in the stands during the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary, it should be empty. Empty indigenous politicians, empty of foreigners.
In trying to understand the presence of some presidents (This is the purpose of my weasels), I thought: What if behind all this, there was Barack Obama's African-American?
Busy entangled in Iraq and Afghanistan, both inherited from Bush son, he no longer wants these massacres Central Africa inherited from Bill Clinton (Godfather of Kagame and Museveni, who defeated Mobutu and Kabila M'zé). If calm returns in this corner of the world, Obama would calmly pondering how to get out of the quagmire of Afghanistan and Iraq without losing face as in Vietnam. And especially that the disorder in eastern Congo could lead to leakage of uranium to unsafe hands. If this is not done yet.
The opportunity was too good, to bring all warring parties in Kinshasa and show the world that they finally agree. Even those who did not want to come and who showed their troubles as Kagame. Well as expected, this binding me and my ravings. What do you think?
Another thing, what can we use to show the FARDC heavy weapons as we all know they abandon them in front at the first bullet of the enemy? Remember how Nkunda has installed cheaply by picking up weapons and pay soldiers. Without forget Pweto. It might be time for them to return to FCC.
But did not mind pain, it was still a nice parade with real Chinese even if priorities are elsewhere: The sounds of weapons are still heard in the east, the LRA continues to plague Orientale Province, nobody knows where is Mbudi, Chebeya has passed away all alone, we cancel the voter registration cards instead of just making an update file and write new ones, officials discovered the right to encumber and use it ...
A lifeline even when the IMF set aside 80% of external debt of the DRC. With little analysis, Kabila may benefit against his opponents because it will make available liquidity. Attention even when the vulture funds and foxes Congolese ministers.
After all this, Radio Okapi said that because Koffi Olomide campaign for Kagame in Rwanda. When I said that Kagame was the friend of all these people. So all is well.
