🇨🇩 DR Congo "attempt" to delay polls angers opposition

The opposition in the Democratic Republic of Congo has expressed outrage over President Felix Tshisekedi's "attempt" to postpone the 20 December general elections over persistent insecurity in the east.

"The situation in the east of the country should not constitute an excuse for the president to postpone the elections," the spokesperson for opposition politician Moise Katumbi said.

Spokesperson reminded Tshisekedi of the promise he made in the early days of his presidency to set up the army headquarters in the east in an effort to effectively deal with armed groups.

"Four years later, the regime is still unable to restore peace in this part of the country," he added.
