Bitter Sweet Historic Event in Democratic Republic of Congo

Today, Thursday, January 24, 2019, an historic event occurred in our beloved homeland: the transfer of power between Joseph Kabila and Felix Tshisekedi at the palace of the nation.

The bulk of the population appeared disinterested in the pomp and pageantry. Mostly members of Felix's political party showed an interest.

If it was the people's candidate who was being inaugurated, everyone in the capital city of Kinshasa would be rejoicing. However, the lack of widespread joy did not prevent the members of the Union For Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS) from celebrating in Limete (district in which the party is based), by sipping drinks and jumping with jubilant joy.
