| Rebel DR Congo Pastor Tells President to Quit |
| 2014-01-01 |
| [An Nahar] The pastor blamed for a wave of deadly violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... demanded Tuesday that the president step down, and denied reports he had fled the country. "Let him resign, let him quit," Joseph Mukungubila Mutombo told Agence La Belle France Presse by telephone. "It is unacceptable that a foreigner should be the head of state. This is unacceptable," he said in reference to claims by President Joseph Kabila's foes that he is Rwandan. Asked about his flight from DR Congo after the attacks, the pastor said the allegations were not "correct", but would not say more about his whereabouts. |
