Moise Katumbi returned today through the border pass of Zambia into the pass of Kasumbalesa. This is the way he is trying to enter the nation, after the Republic and Authorities have not allowed him entry by airplane. They also have orders to arrest him on forged charges. So, it is not like the authorities are friendly with him. Therefore, trying to cross in the Democratic Republic of Congo is not safe for the citizen and Ensemble’s Presidential Candidate.
Katumbi is now stuck on the border crossing, even as the Congolese have shown up in the thousands on the border point to celebrate his return. Because of the lack of allowing him to enter. This is really disgraceful, as this happen in the same time period as Jean-Pierre Bemba is allowed to come home and also participate in the ghost-election of December 2018. However, Katumbi is out on a limb.
Katumbi’s message:
“The regime forbids my landing & barricade the border … My crime? Want to enter my country & apply. In trying to block me, we want to remove Congolese their right to real elections. I will fight ! Thanks to the huge crowd here at Kasumbalesa!” (Moise Katumbi, 03.08.2018).
Radio Okapi reports:
“Moses Katumbi and his delegation are stranded in Zambia. The opponent had arrived at the border between Zambia and the DRC this Friday, August 3 at 13h local time. Sources in Kasumbalesa indicate that the former governor of Katanga was stuck for a long time in the neutral zone, surrounded by thousands of sympathizers. On the Congolese side, there was no service at the border, which was closed. Meanwhile, on the spot, the police dispersed the protesters with tear gas. Several roadblocks were erected at various locations on the Lubumbashi-Kasumbalesa road to prevent Moïse Katumbi’s supporters from reaching the Kasumbalesa border, 90 kilometers from Lubumbashi” (Radio Okapi – ‘Moïse Katumbi bloqué en Zambie’ 03.08.2018, link: https://www.radiookapi.net/2018/08/03/actualite/politique/moise-katumbi-bloque-en-zambie).
Clearly, the Congolese Authorities have done what they can, as there are even reports on the border, the army has sent in around a 100 soldiers. We know the state and the authorities are afraid of Katumbi, when they are acting like this.
The Congolese Authorities are whiny little scared bitches, because a politician are crossing their borders. He is not coming with a militia or an army, but with his delegation. The exiled politician that has been in trouble since he wanted to run against Joseph Kabila. Kabila is afraid and scared. This is the ghost of an honest politician, that is haunting his body, mind and soul.
Kabila is so afraid, his nearly pissing his pants, he has nightmares about the man named Katumbi. Because even war-lords, militants, mercenaries, killers or even rebels doesn’t scare Kabila, but Katumbi does. That is why he is stuck in no-mans land between Kasumbalesa and the Congolese territory.
You know, Kabila is afraid when he closes the border, uses tear-gas against supporters of Katumbi and putting roadblocks, to stop him. This is insane, but Kabila must be thinking more about Katumbi, than he thinks about his side-dishes or even his wife. When he acts like this for just the man crossing the borders and trying to get into the Republic in time to run as a candidate.
This shows how afraid Kabila is of Katumbi, the surge of people wanting to greet him. Shows also the popularity of Katumbi. Which is in itself a warning for Kabila. As he cannot be hostile and control the people forever. This sort of action is an insult to them.
The world is watching, and we now know that Kabila is afraid and scared of Katumbi. Because of who I are and what he represents. Peace.
