Après avoir émis de nombreux doutes sur la victoire de Félix Tshisekedi aux élections de décembre 2018, allant jusqu’à vouloir surseoir la proclamation du verdict final de la Cour Constitutionnelle à la suite du contentieux électoral, les Chefs d’Etat membres de l’Union Africaine avaient effectué un revirement à 360° en acquiesçant, finalement, sans pour autant digérer, sa victoire à la tête de la République Démocratique du Congo sous les couleurs de la première alternance pacifique et civilisée au sommet de l’Etat.

After having expressed many doubts about the victory of Felix Tshisekedi in the elections of December 2018, going as far as to want to postpone the proclamation of the final verdict of the Constitutional Court following the electoral dispute, the Heads of State members of the African Union had made a 360 ° turnaround by finally agreeing, without digesting, his victory at the head of the Democratic Republic of Congo under the colors of the first peaceful and civilized alternation at the top of the state.

Tshisekedi Tshilombo who has been accused of having released the presidential chair by only one flank, is now the second Vice-President of the African Union after 32nd Session. Regular meeting of the African Union Conference 10-11 February, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Diamond cut diamond? What is certain, the new elected President of the DR Congo will no longer have only the gaze focused on the 26 provinces of the state that governs under the cry of accentuated social discontent. From now on, it will also depend on the great institution that is the African Union whose executive board has just been remodeled with the President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, Abdel Fattah al-Sissi, as President of the Conference of Heads of State and Government of the African Union, succeeding Rwandan Paul Kagame.

Unlike Joseph Kabila who, at some days of his departure from the Palaios de la Nation, had decided to walk on regional and international diplomatic relations, Tshisekedi son, he seems to want to repair the damage and rely on a decisive departure between the Democratic Republic of Congo and friendly countries. Only the sudden attraction of African states leaves him something to be desired. Is it just about winning-winning or a long-term effects catcher?

This new high function, far from catapulting him to the pinnacle of the African continent, places him in a position of almost inevitable break with the Kabila regime which, according to close sources, would try to return to business in the next five years.

The structural organization of Felix Tshisekedi who, until then, is not solidly seated, will have to count with the head staff of the former Head of State but also the watchful and permanent eye of the African Union which he is now subject to the respect of the prescribed. However, this remains a new beginning for the country, which will also benefit from the support of other African countries in emergency situations.

Yesterday in Ethiopia, as the new elected President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, for the first time, in the framework of 32nd Summit of the African Union, he officially addressed in front of the Heads of State and Government.

Returning to the last elections of December 30, 2018, Felix Tshisekedi let know that "this peaceful transfer of power between the outgoing President and the leader of the oldest opposition party has denied all the prognosis of the chaos announced at the end of these elections. It is the proof of the political maturity of our People.

The opening of the country from which he begins the first steps, will certainly help the Congolese people to reach his democratic outbreak. "Our country Congo has suffered so much since it was Congo. The deadly wars we have been going through should involve all Africa and the international conscience, so as not to favor or sponsor any attempt to revive the Congolese people the same atrocities that we have been decrying for more than twenty years. ', he said before his African peers.

"It is no longer acceptable that my country, Congo, continues to be indefinitely victim of the lust of its immense natural resources. However, through win-win partnerships, the DRC is committed to contributing to any action aimed at the development of its natural resources, for the well-being of Africa and the rest of the world".
