Presidenten: Kongo-Kinshasa är en demokrati
Trots regeringens våld mot kristna aktivister och trots flera attacker mot FN-styrkor insisterar Kongo-Kinshasas president Joseph Kabila på att landet är en välfungerande demokrati.
Vid dagens pressträff sa Kabila att landet har såväl yttrandefrihet som pressfrihet.
– Har vi säkerhetsproblem? Absolut. Vi håller på att ta itu med dem på regional nivå, sa Kabila.

Joseph Kabila Kabange (known commonly as Joseph Kabila, born 4 June 1971) is a Congolese politician who has been President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo since January 2001. He took office ten days after the assassination of his father, President Laurent-Désiré Kabila. He was elected as President in 2006. In 2011, he was re-elected for a second term.
Kabila's term was due to expire on 20 December 2016 per the constitution, adopted in 2006. Officials suggested that elections would be held in November 2016. However, on 29 September 2016, the nation's electoral authority announced that the election would not be held until early 2018. Talk has focused on the need for a census before holding elections.
Since coming to power, Joseph Kabila has faced continuous wars in eastern Congo and internal rebel forces supported by neighboring governments of Uganda and Rwanda.
