The foreign policy of the DRC at the dawn of the changeover

The Congo DRC has experienced several political turbulences since its independence (1960), such as the one from 2015 to 2018 due to the non holding of presidential elections. This situation was at the root of a breakdown in diplomatic relations between the Democratic Republic of Congo and several other states in the world, especially those of the European Union and the USA. The Great Congo, isolated from the world, had to wait for the arrival of President Felix TSHISEKEDI in 2019 to see the image of the DRC being restored. Upon his arrival, an unnatural coalition was set up to run the country collegially with former President Joseph KABILA who had a majority in parliament. It was necessary to break this marriage which had as consequences: intolerance and mismanagement of the country. This uncomfortable situation led the President to put an end to the coalition and to bring back all the supposed nationalists, of all tendencies, to a Sacred Union of the Nation.
