broaches this friday in record fashion in the political backstages of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In fact, Bintu Keita, dynamic UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy in DRC, leading figure of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in DRC (MONUSCO), crossed blades in a highly-charged work session with a consensus figure of the Congo politics: Moise Katumbi, president of the political platform Together To Change.
The announcement has been made by the iron lady of the UN herself. In a tweet dated May 12th 2023, Bintu Keita shared the main outlines of that summit discussion. On the agenda: security situation that is rocking the DRC and the political issues that are driving her up, all with a special focus on the electoral process that keeps the country on its toes.
This high-level meeting, which fits into Bintu Keita’s « good offices » endeavor, illustrates the UN’s relentless ambition to forge strong links and facilitate dialogue when striving for peace in DRC.
DRC has been in the international community’s spotlight due to the security instability that shakes her and electoral challenges lying ahead. This rendez-vous between Bintu Keita and Moise Katumbi, two mainstays of the political and diplomatic stage, confirms the importance of dialogue and diplomacy to forge a more stable and democratic future for the DRC.
