The main DRC human rights group, ASADHO, has characterised Kabila's rule as two years of "violence and disintegration". In a statement, received by IRIN on Tuesday, ASADHO warned of a "disaster in the making". "The tyrannical attitude and behaviour, the systematic sabotage of the democratisation process, the lack of transparency in decision-making, the
worsening security situation - exacerbated by the new war - seriously compromise national unity," the statement said. Democracy and human rights, without which there could be no end to the DRC crisis, were under threat, it added. "The human rights situation in two years of the Kabila regime closely resembles that of 30 years of the Mobutu regime, only much
more worrying and ominous".
