FARDC Commanders Summoned to Kinshasa; CENCO Brokered Deal Collapsing Despite Politicians' Rhetorics
In the last hours of 2016, on December 31, 2016, a deal between Joseph Kabila and his opposition was announced. The deal was reached following the Plan B of a political dialogue brokered by the National Episcopal Conference of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), known as CENCO between President Joseph Kabila's political alliance, the presidential majority (MP) and the Rassemblement, a broad coalition of opposition groups. A telegram, a copy of which AfroAmerica Network has received (see photo), sent by FARDC Overall Commander (CHEF EMG FARDC) to all the region and sector military commanders of the DRC, their deputies, those in charge of military intelligence, and those commanding operations against an insurgency known as Kamuina-Nsapu in Kasai, on Jan 2, 2017 has casted doubts on the deal.
