President Tshisekedi cancels visit to Germany

President Tshisekedi cancels visit to Germany The President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Felix Tshisekedi had to cancel his visit to Germany The M23 rebels are taking over key regions in the east of the country. President Tshisekedi was in Munich, Germany and attended the security conference that began on Friday, February 1.  A statement from the President's office in Kinshasa DRC said that President Tshisekedi would use the meeting, which he is expected to use to discuss the conflict in the DRC, calling for the involvement of the international community. However, the Kinshasa Palace said that the President has decided to return home to deal with the situation. Tshisekedi is not asked to do much. What Tshisekedi wants is for foreigners to come and save his ass. He had already tried that three years ago, back then with the EAC, but they didn't do what he wanted, so he terminated that mandate and brought in the SADC. That didn't help him either. Many South Africans died. It's true that the M23 has made significant progress in the Democratic Republic of Congo in recent weeks. On January 27, 2025, the M23 took control of Goma, which led to many displaced people returning to their home villages. The M23 now controls two important cities in the east of the country with a population of one million, which increases its military presence and influence. There have been numerous civilian casualties in the fighting, with 272 civilians among the dead, according to the DRC government. Things are not looking particularly good for Tshisekedi. Military units are laying down their weapons and switching to M23. The police in the liberated cities have joined M23. You could really think that the Congo military is disintegrating, slowly but surely.    If you want to know more, I recommend the book: M23
