Joseph Kabila Won't Leave
« on: February 23, 2018, 02:20:00 AM »
His term ended and he just said screw that and stayed on.  It's crickets from the AU.  Not to mention the USA.

President Kabila is in the seventh year of a five-year term and is constitutionally barred from standing again. He was supposed to call an election in 2016 but found excuses to delay it over and over. He has no legitimacy. His authority is disintegrating. And with it, central Africa faces once again the possibility of a slide into war.

I think he's an entitled brat who will wind up dead like his dad.

Mobutu did it for 32 years.  Kabila is now in power illegally for two.  He is looking around the trends in the region and he probably likes his chances of hanging on.

Kabila is kaput. You can't fight the largest christian cult and Islam both at the same time and win.

To be fair to Congo, they have never really left that era.
