A strong tension has been observed since the morning of this Saturday, May 23, 2020 on the road section between the Rond-Point Carrefour and ONL Janda in the commune of Kadutu, city of Bukavu in South Kivu.Basically, activists from the Union for the Congolese Nation UNC, a political party dear to Vital Kamerhe, took to the streets early in the morning to demand the release of the latter currently detained in Makala central prison in Kinshasa.
These activists barricaded the road not far from the Funu site. The police then intervened, firing bullets to disperse the demonstrators.
In these scuffles, witnesses on the spot report that two people are seriously injured and some activists were arrested by the police.
They woke up very early in the morning of this Friday 23/05/2020, strong tensions between some young people who barricaded the stretch of funu and the police.
One of the wounded was shot in the leg, the other injured in the stomach, according to Cimpunda deputy district chief Bezo Mulegwa.
The latter was transferred to the Provincial General Reference Hospital in Bukavu for treatment while the former was admitted to the Berna Hospital Center, his case not being serious.
The policeman responsible for the shots is at the stops in Kadutu commune.
Note that other activists of the Union for the Congolese Nation are visible along the road to Kalengera not far from the Pharmakina company in the commune of Bagira from Friday May 22 until the morning of this Saturday May 23, 2020.
With UNC flags in hand, these activists wear banners that read, “We demand an end to the relentlessness against Vital Kamerhe; Kamerhe is our leader; He’s a peacemaker; Vital Kamerhe does not deserve such a fate… ”.
Already on Friday May 22, other demonstrators were visible at the Civil Society Coordination Office with the same messages. And on the same Friday, other activists, who said they were voters for President Félix Tshisekedi, went to deliver a memorandum to the provincial governorate for the same cause.
Activists of the Union for the Congolese Nation continue to demand the release of their national president, Vital Kamerhe, director of cabinet of Félix Tshisekedi detained in Makala prison for more than a month.
In a demonstration this early morning Saturday in Kadutu commune in Bukavu, a person has just been shot by an element of the Congolese national police and several others seriously injured.
Young people took to the streets of Kadutu commune. After blocking the main road to the historic Fini stadium, hosting the Fatshi-Vit meeting during the recent electoral campaign, the police intervened and dispersed the demonstrations with tear gas bombs and live ammunition .
This assessment, still provisional, is delivered to us by the president of the society in the commune of Kadutu, Hypocrate Marume.
The demonstrators burned tires on the roadway to disrupt the movement of vehicles, before the Congolese national police intervened by firing live bullets at the demonstrators.
For the time being, the situation remains tense in Kadutu commune, where Vital Kamerhe was born.
Protesters condemn the way the Congolese national police acted, shooting civilians who were unarmed.
Detained since April 8, 2020 in Makala, the PN of the UNC will appear for the second time before the judge on May 25, after the appearance on May 11. He is being prosecuted for an alleged embezzlement of public funds allocated to the Fatshi 100 program. This trial, which his relatives, members and activists of his party, the “UNC”, have always described as “political” and “a coup” against their leader, and which, according to them, constitutes “a bitter and harshest”.

Statement by UNFPA Executive Director, Dr. Natalia Kanem, on the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Obstetric Fistula, May 23, 2020
Last November, the world gathered in Nairobi to celebrate the huge strides made over the past 25 years in promoting the health and rights of women and girls. With a deep sense of urgency, vision and hope, world leaders – from presidents to ordinary citizens, refugees to royalty, young activists to CEOs – are committed to accelerating actions to ensure health and sexual and reproductive rights for all.
Barely six months later, this commitment is put to the test like never before. As health systems struggle to respond to COVID-19, the pandemic is expected to weigh heavily on maternal and newborn health. The crisis is already worsening the economic, social and logistical obstacles that women and girls face in accessing sexual and reproductive health services.
Even when services are available and accessible, the fear, misinformation and stigma associated with COVID-19 discourage some pregnant women from seeking obstetric care.Failure to receive timely medical treatment will certainly lead to a dramatic increase in obstetric fistula, a serious injury to childbirth resulting from prolonged and obstructed labor.
Poor women and girls in rural areas are particularly at risk. The disproportionate incidence among the poor of this debilitating and sometimes fatal disease is a reflection of social and economic inequalities and the unequal enjoyment of the right to health, including sexual and reproductive health.
Even during better times, they are more likely to lack access to qualified health personnel. Child marriage and early motherhood are other contributing factors.
While obstetric fistula has been virtually eliminated in developed countries, hundreds of thousands of women and girls in the developing world are still living with this debilitating condition.
As lead of the Global Campaign to End Obstetric Fistula, UNFPA provides funding and support for prevention, treatment and reintegration programs for women recovering from obstetric fistula.
Since 2003, we have enabled over 113,000 women to undergo obstetric fistula repair surgery.
However, we will need to accelerate efforts if we are to achieve our global ambition to end fistula by 2030, the target date for the Sustainable Development Goals.
To this end, the response to the COVID-19 pandemic must ensure the provision of essential sexual and reproductive health services, including midwifery and emergency obstetric care.
On this International Day for the Elimination of Fistula, the memory of the late Dr. Catherine Hamlin, who died in March of this year, is still vivid.
She has spent most of her long life treating women and girls with obstetric fistula, focusing not only on physical injuries, but also on the scars created by stigma and discrimination.
Her charity, HamlinFistulaEthiopia, has brought hope and healing to thousands of women and girls, raised awareness of the obstetric fistula and encouraged innovative efforts to end it.
Let us work in memory of Dr. Hamlin to realize his lifelong dream and our long-standing aspiration to eliminate this preventable condition.
By doing so, we will help protect the health and human rights of the poorest and most vulnerable women and girls.

It opened this Monday, May 11, 2020 in Kinshasa, the Kamerhe trial against the Republic in the case known as embezzlement within the framework of the 100 days emergency program of the Head of State ” . The hearing took place at Makala Central Prison where the Kinshasa / Gombe Tribunal de Grande Instance was sitting in a fairground. After verification of their identities, Vital Kamerhe and Jammal Samih and Jeannot Muhima, his two co-defendants, were heard by the court. The defendant noted, inter alia, the non-disclosure of documents and minutes of the proceedings. But also for the purpose of examining the request for provisional release requested by the lawyers of the Director of Cabinet of the President of the Republic, the TGI postponed the trial to the fortnight, that is to May 25. However, we will remember in this first round that it is a combative VK, ensuring that as Dircab of the Head of State, he was in a team of supervisors, consisting of 9 people in total, but n ‘ was not the Program Coordinator which included several managers according to the fields. The defendant Jeannot Muhima, meanwhile, confirmed that nearly 1,600,000 USD for which he is being prosecuted for embezzlement, were actually used for customs formalities and other charges related to the importation of prefabricated houses. On the Jammal Samih side, the defense asked for proof that the houses did not arrive and that the Congolese state paid for everything.This Monday, thousands of Congolese taped to the Congolese National Radio and Television, one of the two media authorized to cover the trial, were able to realize that today’s audience, which looks like the start of a series, marks new era in the history of Congolese justice which wants to be for all and which reinforces the rule of law, pledge of democracy.
Vital Kamerhe is accused by the Prosecutor’s Office at the Kinshasa / Matete Court of Appeal of having awarded the contract by mutual agreement to the Lebanese businessman Jammal Samih, the manager of the Samibo company, in exchange in particular, a donation of a concession to Ngaliema through Soraya Mpiana, the daughter his wife Hamida Shatur.
They are thus both prosecuted for embezzlement of the funds allocated to the project of 100 of the Head of State, particularly concerning the purchase and the erection of 1500 prefabricated houses for 9 provinces of the country.
Speaking, each in turn, the two men declared with conviction that they did not know each other. For Félix Tshisekedi’s director of cabinet, “I have never met Jammal … I will know him in what capacity? I’ve met a lot of people in my life. ”
Also, for Kamerhe, he does not have to be the only one to answer for the project in question when he was part of a whole team made up of 9 people to supervise it. The coordination of this team, he said, was assumed by Nicolas Kazadi, the itinerant ambassador of the Head of State.
As for Jeannot Muhima, in charge of import-export at the Presidency of the Republic, who was also heard in connection with the diversion of nearly $ 2 million in customs clearance of materials for prefabricated houses, Vital Kamerhe revealed ne never have seen him physically.
Lebanese businessman Jammal Samih, who appeared physically weak at the hearing, first wanted to appear in Arabic because of his lack of French. Difficult and very frustrated, he answered a few questions from the court. After a few seconds of procrastination, he admitted being aware of the Head of State’s 100-day program, but in a firm tone, Mr. Jammal swore only on his innocence, alluding, moreover, to the impossibility of installing 1500 prefabricated houses in 3 months.
After this hearing, the court promised to rule on Tuesday, May 12, 2020 on the requests for provisional release of Kamerhe and Jammal. According to their advice, the state of health of these two defendants seems worrying, maintains Mr. John Kaboto, one of Kamerhe’s advisers.
It should be recalled that the Director of Cabinet of the President of the Republic and moral authority of the political formation Union for the Congolese Nation, has been in pre-trial detention in the Makala Central Prison since April 8, last. He behaved very well and collaborated with the justice of his country, say and repeat his lawyers why his request for provisional release can only catch the attention of the judges, in accordance with the prescribed of the law.

On January 24, 2019 in Kinshasa, at the Palais de la Nation, the DRC sees, for the first time in its history, an outgoing president and an incoming president pass the torch. A new era is declared. Félix Tshisekedi, in his speech to the nation, then undertook to restore the Congo, by fighting corruption, the main scourge that plagues the country. On January 25, 2019, Tshisekedi officially takes office. On the same day, Vital Kamerhe also took up his post as chief of staff to the Head of State. In the evening, a press release was issued, signed by the new head of the President’s cabinet, on the orders of Tshisekedi. All expenses are suspended and should receive approval from the Congolese Presidency, he said.The following days, discussions around the formation of the government got bogged down. That’s when Vital Kamerhe, his relatives say, will propose a 100-day plan to the President. It is an emergency program, valued at more than US $ 400 million, which aims to launch major works, pending the arrival of a government. Thus, on March 2, 2019, President Félix Tshisekedi moved the political gotha to the sumptuous Exchanger of Limete. Under this symbol of the illusory pretensions of the Mobutu regime, Félix Tshisekedi displays his ambitions.
In short, the new president aims above all to “impact” the spirits. The program does not seek that much to resolve priority problems. No, he wants to mount this new disputed Head of State, some of whom doubt the legitimacy, including power, in the process of “doing something”
Presentation of the Emergency Program for the first 100 days of the President of the Republic H.E. Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi.
The Head of State unveils his program focused on Security, justice, infrastructure and communication channels, education, relaxation.On the other side of the city, in May 2019, the Chinese company CREC 8 began construction of a grade separation at the Pompage roundabout, west of Kinshasa. These works, it is said, consist of the construction of a viaduct to ensure the diffusion of traffic in five directions, towards Mbudi, Brikin, Maman Yemo, Nzolantima and Saint Mukassa, in order to eliminate the traffic jams often observed in rush hour in this part of the capital.
Show Tshisekedi that you’re working
On the spot, the Chinese open the way for the Office of Highways and Drainage (OVD) to which the government entrusts the supervision of nine works to be built. There are plans to build “sanitation works on the Brikin pumping axis through the CARRIGRES sandstone quarry almost complete”, the OVD. “The OVD will build different layers of the roadway from the week of May 05,” it was announced. But, this place and its work will remain the symbol of a scourge that will soon befall Kinshasa.
Days pass and the Congolese capital is plunged into a veritable anarchy of traffic. On the sites where these works are under construction, columns of vehicles poison traffic, in a city of around 12 million inhabitants, and where driving while driving is already a real test. Heaps of metal sheets surround the construction sites, hiding the evolution, creating more and more frustration of the population who sees nothing progress.
In July, the Congolese Presidency gets angry. “The leap-crossings to free Kinshasa from its endless traffic jams have become a nightmare for drivers in Kinshasa. What is going on ? The president [Félix Tshisekedi] is going to go to the various sites…. Where nothing is done, the blue sheets will be dismantled. The sites, reopened to traffic and the management of the works will go to the cashier, reimburse the money collected “, vociferates Kasongo Mwema Yamba Yamba, the spokesperson for President Félix Tshisekedi.
Accompanied by Vital Kamerhe, his cabinet director who is very present on this project, Félix Tshisekedi descends on the ground on July 17, 2019. He begins his tour with the symbolic Pompage site, in the municipality of Ngaliema. He will also visit that of “Socimat” at the gates of the Gombe, connecting the very posh commune of Ngaliema to downtown Kinshasa. Here, the president notes “a slowness”. But, far from the proclamations of his spokesman, the Head of State will end his visit with a smile. Nothing is done then, the works, it is said, are going well overall.
Sinking
But there. The days are advancing and blue sheets, which encircle entire sites on increasingly impracticable streets of Kinshasa, still do not arise the famous “leapfrogs”. The symbol of “Pumping” even announces an inauguration in November 2019. Nothing is done.
Worse, in December, Félix Tshisekedi met the adventure of his life there. This Monday, the Congolese Head of State begins his day by launching the inauguration of a decimated pavilion, 5 months ago and currently rehabilitated, of the Ngaliema clinic, in the commune of Gombe. He will then lay the foundation stone for the construction of the industrial drinking water treatment complex in the Ozone district, in the commune of Ngaliema. The highlight of the show, according to the Presidency, is that the president will inaugurate the pumpkin leap.
Only, that day, patatras. While the red carpet and the din that goes with it invaded the surroundings of the “Pom-mutton”, President Félix Tshisekedi will be absent. The inauguration does not take place. No official explanation is provided immediately. But, the observation on the spot speaks volumes: Tshisekedi almost inaugurated an unfinished work.
The work, “which is almost ready,” still needed some adjustments, including the construction of adjacent tracks. The latter were to allow vehicles and other users to circulate normally below the grade separation to reach the other arteries, making it possible to solve the problem of traffic jams at this level, the object of the work. If these routes were not yet all ready until Monday, December 23, 2019, there are especially the parking lots that have not been developed, and tons of rubbish stored at the foot and in the bottom sides of the viaduct.
The controversy breaks out. So are the rumors. If the presidency remains silent, Benjamin Wenga Basubi, Director of the OVD, is announced at arrest, before being released and confirming the progress of the work, without explaining the failure. The inter-union of the OVD is stepping up on the antennas of Radio Top Congo FM: “We ask the president, head of state, who has always listened to the Base, but also the other social components to deign to receive this work and to be able to inaugurate it before New Year’s Eve to alleviate the suffering of the inhabitants of Kimbwala, Malueka, Mbudi, CPA, Kinsuka, Don Bosco, Lutendele and Pompage “. A new promise that will not be respected.
In 2020, anger rises at the wheel. The people of Kinshasa can’t take it anymore. The serious and tense economic situation encountered the suffering of traffic jams, causing Félix Tshisekedi’s popularity to drop. But, the President is concentrated in his international tour, or a strange verbal jousting with his Kabilist allies.
Strangely enough, it’s his chief of staff, Vital Kamerhe, who is stepping up this time. The man presents a flattering assessment, on the occasion of the Year 1 of the power of president Félix Tshisekedi. Vital Kamerhe drops a bomb. First, he announces that the “companies carrying out the work are suffocated”.
It is angering the Congolese internet. And the President’s stoic right arm still ventures to announce a date for the famous inauguration for January 30, 2020.
The devil is in the details
The god of the dates not being Congolese, even less Tshisekediste, on January 30, the site “Pumping” is again dried by the president Félix Tshisekedi. As before, the Head of State is still right. The work has nothing to do with the models sold.
Vital Kamerhe finds himself with a rope around his neck. The president’s chief of staff had dared to announce that the works as a whole had reached 70% completion rate. Finance Minister Sele Yalaghuli, from Kabila camp, the guillotine. The national banker announces that these works, which certainly received a much higher disbursement, are “below 50%” of execution.
In the aftermath of the “Pumping” fiasco, recoveries and controversies, the OVD released the details. In a table distributed to the press, the state-owned company in charge of the work gives details to make matters clear. Hold. The “grade separation” works are valued at USD 45.5 million.
At this point, the government has made cumulative payments around US $ 21.2 million, nearly 46% of the disbursement rate. The work, estimates this document from the OVD, is 41% completed. In detail, of the nine grade separations, two remain symbolic: they received a payment of 40%, but have an execution rate of 0%.
According to sources, the OVD informs that the payment was used to purchase the building materials. “At this point, we still have the equipment for these two grade separations. But, there is a lack of resources to start the works, “explains an official of the state company.
The same situation is observed everywhere. Jean-Marc Kabund, president of the UDPS, initiates a tour on Friday February 6, 2020 morning to find out more. In the east of the city, where construction is stagnating the most, construction sites are at a standstill. Here, in a book entrusted to the company SAFRICAS, the staff has been on leave since January 27, 2020 for “logistical constraints”. According to several sources, providers lack the cash to continue the work.
The chaos will push President Félix Tshisekedi to react, seizing the Congolese justice and even asking for an audit. To be continued at the next Act.

Voices are rising more and more in the city of Bunia to denounce the reduced capacity of the morgue of the general reference hospital of Bunia, in Ituri province.Some residents interviewed on Friday 08 May 2020, estimate that this morgue, which has a capacity of 4 places for a population estimated at 1 million inhabitants, can no longer meet the needs.
“A few days ago, I was in mourning. When we brought the body of the deceased to the morgue, the manager told us that there are no places. We were forced to bury him on same day, “complained one resident.
Faced with this difficulty in preserving corpses in the town of Bunia, these residents ask the Congolese government to increase the capacity of the morgue at the general reference hospital in said town.
The Director of the General Reference Hospital of Bunia recognizes this situation and says that steps are underway to meet this challenge.
According to Doctor John Katabuka, a MONUSCO team has promised to provide this hospital structure with a refrigerated room which could increase its capacity to 16 bodies.
Given the current context marked by the coronavirus pandemic, Patrick Karamura, provincial minister of Ituri in charge of health recommends that the population transport the bodies directly to the cemetery without exposing them at home.

The Judicial Record surrounding the 100-day work of the Head of State continues to leak water under the bridge. Especially since he incriminates several personalities including the boss of the Samibo company, Mr. Jammal Samih who is being held in preventive detention for “hijacking”. Hold, while one tends towards the bursting of the truth so sought after, given that the affair is already fixed for next May 11 at the tribunal de grande instance de la Gombe, the parquet of Kinshasa Matete having closed the investigation , it is observed, in the opinion of circles familiar with the matter, a certain agitation on the side of the defense of the Boss of the Samibo Society. According to these circles, the defense of Mr. Jammal Samih would seek the involvement of the President of the Republic, for the provisional release of his client. Where the bottom hurts is when everyone knows that the case is already fixed, the known date, May 11, that the defense begins to move heaven and earth to obtain the release of an accused , and not before the judges, as legitimate, but rather before the Head of State, in a country where all swear by the separation of traditional powers.While everything is set for May 11 and a few days before the hearing, the defense of the accused Jammal is seeking provisional release for his client who, moreover, is within his right to recover his release. However, opinion was scandalized when the defendant, represented by a renowned lawyer, wrote to the Head of State in a country where everyone wanted the separation and independence of the judiciary not for a pardon, but rather for the Head of State to get involved in the provisional release of his client. What hides this approach in the head of a lawyer?
As if that were not enough, and to the great astonishment of observers, the defense argues its plea for freedom by citing names, among others, that of François Beya, the Special of the Head of State in matters of security as the one of the clients in his client’s business. However, the defendant does not say, however, to assist justice and to inform public opinion, in what and how. The Head of State’s Special in security matters would be involved by citing him in the pleading for the release of his client, is it in the call for tenders of the market or in the management of funds? Suspense and confusion.
Do we still need to remember that, in his letter of August 12, 2019, the Special of the Head of State had called on Mr. Jammal Samih to make an emergency to make available to the soldiers of the Tshatshi camp, 300 houses? Would this letter, for observers, be a fault or implication in the alleged misappropriation of funds allocated to the manufacture of prefabricated houses? In any case, by no means. Unless the defendant shows the opposite.
Furthermore, for legal specialists, no party to the trial puts their files pending on social networks, unless there are hidden agendas behind. With the case set for May 11, observers note agitation and blackmail to bring the yet judicial case to another area.
Case to follow.

Defending the proper functioning of the institutions is the leitmotif of the Allied Political Forces of the Udps, FPAU. For them, it is to show intelligence and wisdom. It is also showing love for the motherland, the DRC. It is therefore in this spirit that Patriarch Kitenge Yesu gathered all the tenors of the Allied Political Forces of the UDPS on April 30, at the headquarters of Kasa-Vubu, to analyze the news of the country. Several items were on the agenda of this important meeting during which the leaders of the FPAU, from the outset, sent congratulatory messages to the President of the Republic for a number of structures put in place for the smooth running of the state. They welcomed the appointment of the princes of the Church to support the fight against covid-19. In doing so, the FPAU congratulate the religious leaders for their involvement in the fight against Covid-19 which has paralyzed all production activities around the world. They welcomed the efforts and sacrifices of the Prosecutors and encouraged them not to lower their guard in line with the establishment of the rule of law in the Democratic Republic of Congo.The FPAU unfortunately noted a dysfunction in the behavior of the institutions and especially in terms of their leaders. They protest vehemently, in fact, against the behavior of certain political leaders who, according to them, would still allow themselves today to use excessive language which unfortunately tries to create a kind of contradiction between the President of the Republic and the other political leaders in institutions.
In addition, the FPAU welcomed the decision of the President of the Republic, Head of State, to set up national structures which can support the progress of the State. They noted, among others, that of the agency for the prevention and fight against corruption and, above all, the Solidarity Fund to fight against covid-19. Here, the FPAU made no secret of their satisfaction with the rise of religious dignitaries and for having put civil society at the forefront, in particular, Catholic Christians, Protestants, Kimbanguists, Muslims and the Revival Church… in supporting the fight against covid-19.
With regard to justice in particular, the FPAU addressed the question of the development of justice at this time. They expressed their satisfaction with the efforts made by the magistrates of the prosecution in the judicial files. They encourage them to persevere in this logic which cannot be rational.
In addition, the National Coordinator of the FPAU, Laurent Batumona, stressed that the other Magistrates who are in the courts and tribunals can follow this momentum without hindrance according to the sacred principle of the independence of judges and that the Supreme Magistrate who happens to be the President of the Republic continues to watch over it.
