Felix Tshisekedi's rise to power and his achievements

Felix Antoine Tshisekedi came to power in very difficult circumstances. He led the country within the framework of political coalitions, firstly the FCC-CACH and the Union sacrée de la nation. So, for three years, management was shared, given that he did not have a majority in parliament. As if that weren't enough, the COVID-19 pandemic that struck the world did not spare the DRC under his mandate.What's more, the country enjoyed unprecedented diplomatic isolation. Not to mention the war in North Kivu and Ituri, where the M23 are backed by Rwanda.It's true that the task was not easy for Félix Tshisekedi. His achievements include the successful introduction of free education, the fight against corruption with the IGF, the relaunch of diplomacy, the increase in the state budget, the state of siege in the east of the country and many other accomplishments. Admittedly, much remains to be done to achieve the change promised and long-awaited by the Congolese people, "The people first".
