DRC: Tshisekedi should avoid naming « executioners of the people » in government!
[OPINION] – People suspected of human rights abuses « executioners of the people » should not be named in the government in the making. This is the request made to the President of the Republic, Felix-Antoine Tshisekedi, by Amnesty International in a press release made public on Tuesday, May 14, 2019.
For this human rights structure, the Congolese head of state should « ensure that there is no place in his Government for people suspected of human rights abuses and that any alleged accomplice such crimes are immediately investigated. »
With this in mind, the organization is also asking parliament and other relevant institutions to thoroughly check the background of any person approached for a public service post in order to remove those responsible for human rights crimes under domestic and international law. pending the outcome of the investigations and trials that concern them.
« People suspected of involvement in human rights abuses would likely attempt to obstruct or cover investigations into their role in these crimes. The new president has been the instigator of positive changes since taking office in January, including the release of detainees, the end of the ban on demonstrations and political rallies, and the return authorization granted to the opposition leaders of the country in exile, « said Joan Nyanyuki, director of the East Africa, Horn of Africa and Great Lakes Program at Amnesty International.
The Congolese population, for its part, supports this structure, and wants justice and accountability for past offenses.
« The Congolese people want all those suspected of human rights abuses – including members of the former government, the military, police and intelligence agents – to be held accountable, » insisted Joan Nyanyuki. .
This call by Amnesty International comes as the Common Front for Congo (CCF) and Caper for Change (CACH) visibly begin the last shift in their dealings for the appointment and formation of the coalition government. According to concordant sources, the government trainer could be known this weekend.

This, after his visit to the site where the great Cultural and Artistic Centre of Central Africa will be built as well as the INA Buildings, the National Institute of Arts, where he ordered the resumption of work.
The first decree concerns the postponement of the decree of 14 October 2016 and the second concerns the decommissioning of a portion of land in favour of Sino-Congolese cooperation.
