Tshisekedi’s recognition by the international community will end the current crisis and save the Congo from violence

Tshisekedi’s recognition by the international community will end the current crisis and save the Congo from violence and unnecessary loss of life. Failure to support him will constitute a flagrant instance of hypocrisy and double standards, particularly for those states claiming to stand for democracy and human rights. Justice affirmed or denied will be remembered for decades to come in the DRC. As Congolese patriots, we now have the opportunity to know who our true friends and enemies are in the world today. Like Ouattara, Tshisekedi was the winner of the presidential election in the DRC, and like the Libyan rebels, he is the legitimate representative of the deepest aspirations of the Congolese people for democracy and social progress.
