He then urged his compatriots in the 26 provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo to take the courage to oppose the illegal power of a president who is dedicated to traveling around the world in order to be recognized worldwide as the de facto head of state of the Democratic Republic of Congo. He was never elected!
