Congo-Kinshasa: DR Congo Must Keep Bilateral Disputes Out of the Francophonie Election
The election of the next Secretary-General of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie should be a contest of leadership, competence and vision. The Democratic Republic of Congo should resist turning it into a referendum on its relations with Rwanda.
On 16 November, the heads of states and governments of the International Organization of la Francophonie (OIF) could elect their secretary-general in Cambodia by a vote, a first. Between rivalry RDC-Rwanda, war of influence and internal criticism of the outcome, rarely the race will have been so tight.
