Serikali ya Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Kongo imevipiga marufuku vyama 13 vya kisiasa, likiwemo chama cha PPRD cha rais wa zamani Joseph Kabila.
Kabla ya uamuzi huo, Tshisekedi aliitisha kikao maalum cha Baraza Kuu la Ulinzi mjini Kinshasa, kilichowakutanisha viongozi waandamizi wa serikali pamoja na wakuu wa vyombo vya ulinzi na usalama kwa ajili ya kutathmini hali ya usalama na operesheni za kijeshi zinazoendelea nchini.
Kupigwa marufuku kwa vyama hivyo ni hatua ya karibuni katika mvutano unaozidi kuongezeka kati ya utawala wa Tshisekedi na mtangulizi wake, Joseph Kabila, huku tofauti zao za kisiasa zikiendelea kuchochea mjadala kuhusu mustakabali wa utulivu wa nchi hiyo.

The document also cites several other parties, including Leadership and Governance for Development (LGD) by former Prime Minister Matata Ponyo.
Thirteen parties concerned

A decision in a tense political context
This measure comes in a political climate marked by the debates sparked by the recent creation of the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation (FRN), a new platform announced by former President Joseph Kabila.
Since that announcement, several political actors and institutions have expressed their concerns about the implications of this initiative for the security and political situation of the country.
