DRC: Cartoons satirize Congolese politics · Global Voices
Jennifer Brea

It's been just one month since Congolese President Joseph Kabila named a new government in an effort to quell mounting criticism over his inability to quell rebel violence in the east, and many bloggers remain skeptical about the country's future.
A lot has been written about Congo's precarious situation (see posts by GV author Elia Varela Serra, who has closely followed recent developments), but sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.
Alex Engwete posts this cartoon, produced by Human Rights Watch, which satirizes Kabila's shutting out of civil society and opposition voices and the tacit support of foreign donors.
