Voice of America
Felix Tshisekedi, president of the DR Congo, is in full control of a new government unveiled Monday after a four-month power struggle with predecessor Joseph Kabila, an official announcement indicated.
The president had in February named the head of state-owned mining giant Gecamines, Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde Kyenge, as prime minister. Sama Lukonde succeeded Sylvestre Ilunga Ilunkamba, who was forced out after a coalition between supporters of Tshisekedi and Kabila broke down. The new government dubbed the "Sacred Union of the Nation" counts 57 members including 14 women, according to a presidential decree read out over state broadcaster RTNC by the presidential spokesman, Kasongo Mwema.More Related News
