Looks almost as corrupt as what they’re trying to do to Trump lol except they’re not making up charges against their political opponents.
No one can do anything right in this world .
The reason the election was extended wasn't due to violence at all. It was due to logistics. The title is misleading.
Democracy doesn't work among Africans. maybe uniting on being black and getting the best for everyone in Africa for their resources and keeping out foreign powers would be better.
Actually very peaceful for very resilient people who have gone through a lot for 60 years; First day of school have always been a bit of a challenge everywhere around the world; Normal: Excitement and Adrenalin..
Thisekedi has just won by a cracking margin in all the countries scheduled for elections in the diaspora. An important thing to say is that the results of the DRC presidential elections by extrapolation are consumed, closed and now known to the world through the diaspora elections because when you have a diaspora situation where you have people who voted in peace, without any constraint; where you had all layers of the population represented: intellectuals, workers, the unemployed, women, men and young people, where you had people who have a good general understanding of the issues in the country and vis-à-vis the foreign countries where they live; Where you had all the tribes and provinces represented, where you had no intimidation, well the scientists, the statisticians will tell you that all the elements were there to represent by extrapolation the will of the entire Congolese population in general so that if for one reason or another we had to decide otherwise about the president of Congo by putting the votes of the country aside, well this is what we can validly refer to as result of the presidential election in Congo. To put it simply, it's like other systems in the world where you send valid representatives from each territory of your country to represent you in the election of a president.
So, to all these western media hostile to the current president and their multinational sponsors who quickly threw themselves into demonization and sold scenes of a chaotic election to the world by inserting and amplifying images of the miseries of the East and the poor neighborhoods of the DRC where we have not seen any image of our achievements, of the new financial center or the new reference hospital, the schools, bridges, roads, universities, hospitals, health centers built, etc. and who have inserted scenes that could be considered isolated in relation to the gigantic dimension of the country, we now ask them what they think of this logic or fresh elections with the hands-down victory of candidate no. 20 without the chaos that they sold to us without us being able to breathe? Meanness and plots never pay off, They can lie and lie but there will always be something left.
I speak Swahili but that translation is cap 😂😂😂
This election happened globally why don’t you talk about it I am democrat but with this I start giving reason to trump you focus on what matters to you and multinational company who finding and profit from war
For the first time no death recorded logistic is and will still main challenge in DRC, but when you look at sample results from France, South Afrrica, Belgium USA Felix Tshisekedi is way above 60% and this will the real projection because everything was live on social media no hidden results , this reflects Congolese willingness, logistics challenges does change anything as long everyone has cast their ballot
U.S and allies try to Sabotage and Interfere African Election for their Own interest
Which violence are you talking about? You guys are there just to spread fake news and negativity…
The main thing is to vote because there have never been perfect elections anywhere,. No violence will happen Felix will win
Wow it’s Amazing how you can twist things y’all know that This election were much better than the ones in the past yes all didn’t go well but it was great you need to stop focusing on negativity if most part went well the country is well structured like in the states where everything is available
Lessons learned from the communists…vote, and then vote some more, count, and count some more, until you get the desired result…next, start throwing opposition candidates off the ballot…wait, that has happened here in the USA, too…how 'bout it, you 'defend democracy' folks…what say we run elections like France does, and stop the accusations, stop the whinning, stop 'stolen election'…
Congo will be great.
You can't even transfer from one bus to another bus just for two dollars, using public transportation. I can't imagine living on just two dollars a day. Even homeless people make more than two dollars a day panhandling. Sad.
The story of the minerals mined from their country is much larger than this story would have you believe.
White media spreading PROPOGANDA
Why does does NBC, CNN, FOX .. they only highlight Negative news when ever mentioning Africa… Why
The West has a stake in this country but does not want to pay for the minerals and cobalt, so it causes war. Same story. Then there is a genocide, then West has a pretext to invade and occupy, and then steals the minerals and copper at the expense of these Africans, who are then dying through forced starvation and displacement.
They have fascist democrats running their elections as well?
The only difference is skin color though right folks? Yeah, not buying it anymore. Look how these “people” live. 🙄
Trump did it
Trumps fault
