We preach him, we sing him and we applaud him as a model to follow by young people for having become President of the Republic at only 29 years old. Joseph Kabila Kabange, since it is regarding him, was nevertheless content with his 18 years of reign at the head of the DRC without ensuring his political future. The predictions of his political vision carried by the People’s Party for Reconstruction and Democracy (PPRD) ended in very bitter failures. The king of Kingakati would not have succeeded in retaining the loyalty of his followers who left him in record time as if they had no common history.
The story of Joseph Kabila and his PPRD resembles a man who haphazardly amassed wealth without the ability to grow it to bequeath it to the future generation. An example of a bad leader, his political management was only effective in the present time, which is now outdated. All of his collaborators demonstrated inadequacies in the conjugation of the verb foresee in politics.
From bad forecast to turnaround
After two controversial electoral cycles (2006 and 2011), the PPRD had, during the last moments of Kabila’s constitutional reign over the Congo, activated strategies to maintain its power. Strategies which have worked once morest the Kabila clan since 2015 until today, despite the pompous scientific titles worn by its executives.
Without digging too much into the past, the poor political management of the PPRD only began to have effects in 2015. Knowing that he had to organize elections in 2016 and leave power, Joseph Kabila turned to the technocrats of his PPRD to circumvent constitutional barriers as the end of his mandates approaches, thus staying in business forever.
It is Evariste Boshab, duped by his constitutional knowledge, who will carry out this unconstitutional project to legalize it. It was time for a referendum. Very influential alongside Joseph Kabila and considered the thinking head of the PPRD, the man from Mushenge (Mweka) will fail miserably with his project which will encounter popular protest which will result in the loss of human lives (controversial story associated with fake communes of Maluku in March 2015). Unable to stop the clock running once morest them, the PPRD technocrats advised a dialogue which was held in October 2015, under the mediation of Edem Kodjo, supposedly committed to the cause of Joseph Kabila. Boycotted by the opposition, this dialogue ended with the poaching of a few personalities and its victory was short-lived because, in 2016, the Catholic Church will bring together politicians to ease tensions (New Year’s Eve dialogue).
Time for poaching and repression of opposition marches
All these dialogues were only a sort of delaying maneuvers by the Kabila clan to build safeguards and still have control over power.
It’s time for poaching and repression of opposition marches.
It was the beginning of a regime of terror. Arbitrary arrests, point-blank shootings of peaceful citizens, intentional interruptions of the internet connection, etc.
On the creation of the FCC
The pprdian technocracy then set up the crushing machine to thwart anyone who came from elsewhere. This is the creation of the Common Front for Congo (FCC). The camp then says it is very ready to go to the elections, its survival being reassured. The FCC obtained an overwhelming majority which allowed Joseph Kabila to be the one who decides, even without being in the supreme office. In the absence of a long-term forecast and the absence of executives without vision, the FCC will only be a cock’s orgasm.
With a management built on corruption, flattery, debauchery and unconsciousness, Joseph Kabila will not have been a trainer of loyal men. He will not have preached the attitude of resisting during dark times. His company, the PPRD-FCC, lived in the present times and its bankruptcy was spectacular.
Like ice collapsing in the sun, the FCC was emptied of its substance, its executives were caught, taking the bait as if they had benefited nothing from their leader. In record time, devoted Kabilists became pure Tshisekedists, confirming Professor Jacques Ndjoli’s theory of political transhumance.
What to remember from Joseph Kabila and his political family?
The political journey of Joseph Kabila and the fight of his PPRD are a fascinating life lesson. They highlight a type of leadership that should not be dared to follow, a very dangerous management for a company that wants to survive. The miraculous crossing of the FCC executives into the Sacred Union simply shows that Joseph Kabila’s policy was nothing more than a discount, a conglomeration of businessmen who had nothing concrete for the future of the country. If there was a clear political vision and long-term forecasts, the FCC would not have emptied itself, the PPRD would not have become mosaic, the parliamentary majority would not have shifted.
The poor political management of the PPRD does not seem to have taught a lesson to the small group which remained with Joseph Kabila. The results of their poor reading of the political and electoral situation, following their free fall, is also the flying of the PPRD flags in the electoral campaign of Moïse Katumbi in Equateur, yet a cow to be slaughtered during the reign of M’s son ‘zee.
A political party should not settle for ill-gotten gains. Earning money is good, but ensuring the survival of your influence is better. As in a business, technocrats within political parties should anticipate situations, have a clear vision and, above all, establish short, medium and long term forecasts to continue their fight, if it is real.
It’s up to other politicians to learn lessons from what happened to Joseph Kabila and his PPRD.
