The arguments from his 28 October contribution, now available on video: Facebook, Congo Buzz TV and TRACE ELENGI.
On 28 October 2026, Dépêche.cd reported further criticism of the C64 by Jean Thierry Monsenepwo after Rome. He considered its stance on Rwanda and the FRN insufficiently firm, defended a referendum and called for disarmament before dialogue. The outlet noted that his allegations about funding for some opposition figures were unsupported.
ACTUALITE.CD’s 27 October report provides another reference point. The C64 announced proposed consultations with Félix Tshisekedi and Joseph Kabila, without announcing agreement to any meeting. It condemned both armed seizure of power and attempts to bypass the Constitution. It also wanted agreement on how dialogue would be organised and how its conclusions would be followed up.
A development reported by Radio Okapi on 29 October adds context. In a statement dated 28 October, the C64 Conference of Presidents opposed mediation by the Presidium between the two leaders. It stressed the platform’s collective decision-making rules and placed any mediation within inclusive dialogue involving recognised actors. This internal disagreement was not presented as a personal response to Monsenepwo.
Read together, these texts show a debate about who should participate, the conditions for dialogue and who can authorise political initiatives. Criticism of the coalition should be distinguished from the positions expressed by its leaders in Rome and its bodies in Kinshasa. None of these statements is sufficient to announce a political agreement or a confirmed schedule of meetings.
