space policy of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been taken to court. But also a malaise that has left the opposition stunned. Joseph Kabila, the height of his presidential majority in parliament, managed to pass a law establishing the presidential election in a single round of voting!

Undoubtedly, the shock wave of Ivorian turmoil has been felt throughout sub-Saharan Africa. With few exceptions, nearly all the presidents in this region have been badly elected ... The surprise, and after having breathed a sigh of relief, it is time to act together. Everyone knows they have conveniently escaped the "new order" democratic inaugurated by the West Africa ... But it would not occur to anyone to ask why Africa, and not Myanmar, for example, where there is one dictatorships the most repulsive of the planet. No one interrogates the legitimacy of this blatant denial of national sovereignty. Time, indeed, is counted, it is not ideology. For it is the stampede may, there is now of the essence. We need a stopgap, to readjust the face of what seems to prefigure the new status quo. Or so things get tough especially since no one had foreseen this new diktat of the international community, paternalism that we thought gone forever. It is no longer ensure the presidency in favor of flawed elections. Except for amateurs. Staying in power is more than ever a matter of inventiveness. And employ them all, even if it is fashionable during these uncertain times, to demonize the only Laurent Gbagbo. For Peer Ivorian president already consider the worst troublemaker de cheat-in-circle around. The plague Gbagbo, a real nuisance for "business" bad conscience of dictators who want to ignore.
Slinger inveterate and recognized as such, the Ivorian would still have the "for all practical purposes," obey the instructions of the West. If not for him since his cause was lost, at least in solidarity for the interests of his friends from the past. Now then, throwing the stone into the creek he has managed to splash everyone. As the spotlight of the international community are now trained on all intrusively. "Cursed be he by coming misfortune ...." Since the circle of friends of Laurent Gbagbo has considerably sparse. African potentates, he knows now, have the grudge.
Never mind: the Ivorian example, contrary to what they say about history, had the virtue to educate the presidents of the SSA. Dictators or not, all are now educated about what to avoid in order not to fall into the trap that led to the current depravity in Abidjan: a two-round presidential election! The solution is therefore an election in one round! The fact is not unusual in Africa, he allowed Ali Bongo to be "legally" elected after he succeeded his father in the controversy. At the same hassles Bongo son are not provided complete, far from it, at least they do not relate to the voting system that brought him to power.
A hocus-pocus ?
Joseph Kabila, who has not resumed the chair for nothing father, quickly grasped the advantages of such a trial. In Africa the incumbent president is always the one who made the highest score in the first round. He has conveniently division of the opposition vote, because there is usually a presidential candidate for each party. In the opposing camp personal ambition outweighs almost invariably in the right direction. Now then a simple arithmetic would suffice to convince the opposition to unite behind a single candidate to have any chance of winning. Otherwise than compete without falling into the ridiculousness scores around a zero percent! Moreover, the presidential party is usually the most honed structure, besides the incumbent president still has in his own way through any of the state apparatus.
At this point no need to cheat. This is the second round as the UNDERWAY sugarcoat. Because the danger to the presidential camp is real. All kinds of occurrences are likely to make him lose his footing: being outvoted by the series of alliances, the emergence of new leadership, or simply the desire for alternation so popular. The second round is the nightmare of Presidents Past Africa as it contains too much uncertainty. An unbearable situation for people accustomed to the control. There is no question here of these very special cases that are Kagame of Rwanda and Blaise Compaore of Burkina Faso. Make sure they know, no matter how many polls, scores bordering see all expressed. One thing that has bothered people in Western embassies. The whole world of bowing to such popular veneration ...
The late Mobutu has clearly been emulated. We had mistakenly believed he had carried the secret to the grave this kind of virtuosity. But now the young president of the country he loved enough to say that he loves her enough to avoid the excesses of the division. The 2011 presidential election in the DRC will be one round or ... anything, since the constitutional amendment was voted on and endorsed by all the legislative chambers. If we consider the aspirations of the people it is obvious that a ballot deprives voters of those who voted in the first round the opportunity to change his mind, and similarly for the undecided to decide ... Finally, since the deal will also changed. Between two or three candidates we see more clearly facing a dozen. Never mind: After the commotion, the Congolese opposition seems back to his senses. She already promised that it will present a single candidate against Joseph Kabila. To do this we will have, do you believe, harmonize the ambitions of each other. It is a challenge, the unexpected, the unthinkable. That will be the hocus-pocus of the political culture in sub-Saharan Africa. But surely we would lose less to bet that the model will Togolo-Congolese school in Africa. EMERY-UHINDU GINGALA GINGANJ
