Congolese intelligence sources have disclosed that President Felix Tshisekedi had ordered state agents to raid former president Joseph Kabila’s residency.
Tshisekedi wants to crack down on any opposition ahead of the December 20, 2023 polls by accusing them of collaborating with M23 rebels in his imaginary plot to overthrow him.
“The next target is the residences of Joseph Kabila which will be searched and arms planted in the
coming days.
“Even what happened to the destruction of the monument of Mzee Laurent Désirée Kabila foundation was part of the scheme. They are searching for firearms and in some cases disguising it as a burglary.
“We have received feedback that these actions are a provocation of the President’s opponents,” the source said.
Kabila has since sent emissaries to Heads of State in the region particularly South Africa, Zimbabwe, Kenya and Tanzania to express dissatisfaction of Tshisekedi’s growing dictatorial tendencies.
So far, the military has raided the homes of popular opposition leader Moise Katumbi and his illegally incarcerated special advisor Salomon Kalonda.
