In his homely during the thanksgiving mass at the time of 20th anniversary of the assassination of Laurent-Desiré Kabila, cardinal Ambongo thanked president Felix-Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi, to have granted the presidential pardon to Eddy Kapend and all the others condemned in the business of the assassination of the third president of the Republic. This by stressing that this presidential measure was taken in agreement with the family of the late president Kabila.
Within the opinion, many saw the devil in this detail of the catholic prelate.
"All the tested intelligences must understand that this homely of cardinal Ambongo concerns a hallucination, or an insult to the collective conscience of Congolese", an socio-policy analyst estimates.
Like him, all the people who expressed their indignation vis-a-vis the cardinal’s talks sees there a means of underestimating the action of president Tshisekedi. Especially, some support, that threw in grazing ground the discretionary power of the president of the Republic.
"To contact the family of famous disappeared on a purely informative basis, it is elegantly possible. But to have an authorization, not ", tries to specify another indignant which recalls that president Kabila, during his 18 years, always opposed to their release, in spite of the recommendations of Sun City and of the African commission of human rights and people of the African Union in 2013.
The condemned in assassination business of Laurent-Desiré Kabila profited from a presidential pardon signed by the president of the Republic at the end of the year. They left the prison of Makala a little more one week ago after 20 years of incarceration.
