Legend of the Transparent and Peaceful Organization of ?Elections? in DRC: Issues and Politological Reflections

Stephane AMISI IMANI

Abstract: The Democratic Republic of Congo is fully into the pre-election period. We feel a contradiction between the heavy machinery of the regime that sets off towards elections in a logic control fully in every aspect. On the other side, we feel the extreme fragility of the state and the lack of cohesion of the regime. All embarks towards elections that power will hold if and only if he is certain to win. There are chances that the results will be challenged and there is a significant potential for violence in the electoral process. Everyone realizes this potential and the fact that free and transparent elections will be compromised by the control obsession and pride of the victory of the ruling power. The international community will be hard to find a tone and content to potential critical messages to the rest of the process. It is not easy to react on the electoral law, the operation of the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) or the Higher Audio visual Council, or the lack of political space for the opposition and other issues today and tomorrow there is not a decision today to stop and rounded angles, mainly on the constitutional revision of January 2011 and the various pre-set by the opposition. The international community and the European Union in particular have deposited huge sums in Congo to finance standardized packages in order to support countries in post conflict even if the Congo and Central Africa, the page is not yet sustainable tour. Today the international community is faced with the limits of its impact. She will have difficulty expressing his concerns and define the red line. The only thing it can do through various non-governmental organizations and listen to the people, encourage and help them to express themselves.
