NO I am asking: If Kabila is a stooge of Rwanda then why did Rwanda spend so much time, money and effort fighting him?

Because he stopped serving their interests. For Kabila 1 he was installed to help kagame deal with hutus who committed genocide in 1994 and were living in refugee camps in eastern Congo. Kagame wanted a regime that would allow his army to operate in eastern Congo hunting and eliminating those hutus. But after some time, due to domestic pressure, Kabila 1 expelled all foreign troops from Congo and kagame and co were not happy. That is why kabila 1 was assassinated. Kabila Jnr was also to be removed in the 2nd congo war but he sought help from Angola, Zimbabwe and Namibia who sent troops to DRC and that is how he managed to survive the Tutsi onslaught led by rwanda and museveni. That is why we should closely watch the happenings in the DRC coz kagame & Co have huge interests.

This is the biggest checkmate I have ever seen. It is brilliant when you look at the details. This Kabila guy is a political genius!!!

As per the constitution the President has to appoint a Prime Minister from the party with the majority in Parliament. Kabila's coalition won the majority of the seats about 300 of the 500 seats. This by itself is not a big deal but here is the clincher, "The prime minister, in turn, must countersign presidential orders appointing or dismissing military chiefs, judges and heads of state-owned enterprises."

It is basically a nusu mkate government from the very beginning.

It did not matter who was going to win the presidency, Kabila already had his half even before the first vote was cast, how smart is that!!!

DRC Opposition Candidate Martin Fayulu declares himself President after alleged Joseph Kabila's puppet Felix Tshisekedi is fraudulently imposed on the people of DR Congo by the courts.

Africa... sijui...
