Over at UDPS Liege, blogger J. Kayembe Tshipamba lists (FR) all the reasons why he believes the DRC is headed towards an era reminiscent of the Mobutu years: free speech issues as evidenced by the repressed March 10 opposition protest; the presence of Rwandan mercenaries; the parcelling of the DRC in 26 provinces; issues with freedom of the press mishandled by the government and poor leadership by key government figures to name a few. He also deplores the role played by the UN.
