Suspected Russian mercenaries and President Felix Tshisekedi’s tribesmen have been deployed to various parts of the country fearing possible unrest as the election date draws near with widespread irregularities in the voter registration process fueling tension.
Grand Katanga, which is an opposition stronghold, has recently received a consignment of military personnel from Kinshasa.
Senior army officers have disclosed that some Russian nationals and individuals from Kasai have been deployed to the area.
President Felix Tshisekedi is flirting with the idea to reschedule the election date from December 20, 2023 to another period, a decision many fear will throw the DRC into total chaos.
If the election is not delayed, President Tshisekedi is hoping to use criminal tactics to steal the vote.
