TechnoratiJoseph Kabila sworn in for second DR Congo presidential term
Security was tight Tuesday in Kinshasa where Joseph Kabila was being sworn in for a second term as DRC president. Kabila was re-elected 28 November to serve a second five year mandate.
Opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi says those polls were rigged and claims he is the country’s “president elect”.

Tshisekedi intends to hold his own swearing-in ceremony on Friday in a Kinshasa stadium.
Workers were seen filling pot-holes on the road leading to the African Union City from the Airport where foreign delegations were due to arrive.
Kabila was counting on the presence of his closest neighbours although not all were expected to be represented on a presidential level.
Denis Sassou Nguesso, president of Congo-Brazzaville which is just four kilometres away from Kinshasa has announced he’ll be there for the ceremony. The leaders of Uganda and Tanzania are also expected to take part.
The presence of Rwanda’s Paul Kagamé and Angola’s Eduardo Dos Santos have not been confirmed.
South Africa and Burundi are sending ministers.
European countries and the United States, whose observers pointed to electoral irregularities, will only have their ambassadors at the ceremony.

now we know beyond doubt who
now we know beyond doubt who does push the small boy from the back, is the vieux lou(big dog) in power since the independence of his country and has done very little and even has declared recently not ready to retire, its R.Mugabe, i think its a shame whent he was looking around and seeing not one of his counterpart to chat with but only those ministers ambassadors summoned bu force to attend the dam ceremony;
he is behind Kanambe telling all kind of lies in order to get him in the same ditch, unfortunately, for the small dog he cant see where he is taking him but follow all instructions.
secondly, Kanambe has now realize that all those who used to encourage him are not really for him; for instance, why did P. Kagame not attend his dam inauguration???? because as far m concern that's where he is taking all resources of our country, where was he during such an important meeting of his colleague? future will tell
again, AU and SADC members who apparently accepted his reelection none of them was there, even Dos SANTOS chairperson of the organizations, what a blow on Kanambe face?
finally, workers were seen arranging roads because of the guests who coming, i wonder what kind of work was it? were they filling holes with sands or stone? him who said he has done a lot for the country starting from the roads infrastructure and today people has to work around the clock for specific ceremony; thank God they did not come lest to be shaken in the car as they are driven, since they used drive fast!
prove me wrong if you can.
