The transition of DRC into democracy.- Andrés González Cervera

In December, 19, 2016, Joseph Kabila’s —president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) — second and last mandate expired, not holding elections. Since then, the African country suffers an institutional crisis worsened by the emergence of new conflicts, especially in Great Kasai with Kamwina Nsapu militia’s revolt.

In December, 31, 2016, Saint Sylvester’s Agreement was signed by presidential majority and the opposition forces, thanks to the Church’s intermediation, in order to assure the continuity of the State and the Republic Institutions, and most importantly to hold elections in December, 2017. However, Kabila’s government has continuously obstructed the Agreement’s application and the holding of elections this year is not yet assured.
