One of the reasons the implementation of the Luanda and Nairobi peace mechanisms are proving to be an uphill task is because the Kinshasa regime thinks the world should speak and act in their favor regarding the conflict in the east of the country, even when they know they are the root cause.
When you listen to their utterances and observe their actions, you get the unmistakable spoiled child attitude. Like a spoilt kid, the Kinshasa regime will always throw tantrums complaining whenever someone tells them the truth, even when they know quite well that they are in the wrong.
Since the beginning of the conflict in eastern DRC, the regime has made futile attempts to influence world opinion against Rwanda, claiming the conflict is ‘foreign aggression’ ‘orchestrated by Rwanda’.
The Kinshasa gang led by their ruler Tshisekedi has been attacking any nation or world body that fails to buy their false narrative.
Political immaturity is quite obvious in the statements coming out of their sustained ‘diplomatic offensive’ campaigns. It is quite absurd that the Kinshasa regime expects the world to only make statements in their favor without calling them out for mismanaging the country, which has resulted in the present conflict.
The situation has now degenerated into despair as things go south for them, and they are bickering with the US, the UN, AU, France, the UK, and everyone, ostensibly because they have failed to call the conflict an ‘external aggression’ which would necessitate sanctions.
The Kinshasa regime fails to understand that the rest of the world is led by politically mature individuals who can easily deduce that the M23 is a Congolese revolutionary movement fighting for a genuine cause necessitated by longstanding poor leadership.
Tshisekedi has wasted billions of dollars from the state coffers believing he would be able to fool the world by use of money and blackmail. But it is slowly dawning on him that he may as well accept to sit at the negotiating table with the M23 since this is the only way out of his present dilemma.
