A group of DR Congo senators who support former president Joseph Kabila on Thursday condemned a dictatorial shift in the country after their bloc became a target in a long-running power struggle.
President Felix Tshisekedi, who took office in January 2019, is pushing through top-level changes in parliament after a two-year tussle with pro-Kabila supporters.
In December, he scrapped a coalition government dominated by Kabila allies and last week pushed out the pro-Kabila prime minister after winning over members of the National Assembly.
