Ensemble pour la République Condemns John Mbangu’s Arrest, Denounces a ‘Contradiction’ by the Government

Ensemble pour la République is protesting the arrest of John Mbangu, the provincial coordinator of its youth league in Haut-Katanga.

The party describes Mbangu’s detention as a contradiction by the authorities. It points to the head of state’s call for national dialogue while opposition members are being arrested.

The criticism places Mbangu’s arrest at the center of a dispute over the government’s approach to dialogue with the opposition.
