DRC takes on Rwanda as rivalry spills into Francophonie race
Presidents Paul Kagame of Rwanda, Senegal's Macky Sall and Togo's Faure Gnassingbe attend a working session of the 18th Francophone countries Summit in Djerba, Tunisia, on November 19, 2022.
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda are bracing for a new diplomatic confrontation, this time within the International Organisation of La Francophonie (OIF).
Kinshasa has announced it will field a candidate for Secretary General, a move aimed at asserting its influence and directly challenging Rwanda’s Louise Mushikiwabo, who is seeking re-election.
