‘La Libre Belgique’ newspaper has said the recent reshuffle of the RCD-Goma leadership came after its general assembly condemned “financial and political mismanagement” last month. “The reshuffle however, does not exclude the people at the centre of the storm, namely the group’s president Ilunga and intelligence minister Bizima Karaha, who retain their posts,” the newspaper said. However, it added that the reshuffle appeared to have taken into account more general criticisms made by the assembly with the reduction of departments from 24 to 16. It also appeared that Emile Ilunga’s presidential powers had been reduced to more “collegial” activities, the paper said.
