UDSP could have favourably welcomed the announcement of Mr Kabila’ s visit to Belgium if the system established in Congo, since May 17, 1997 was presenting some guarantee of credibility as well at the internal level as abroad. Hence, the counter-nature alliances, the pesonalization of power, ethnicism, concussion, financial mismanagement, ethnic hate, exclusion and cult of personality of the leader are the sole dark lanterns of the dictatorial power in Kinshasa, which has succeeded the gloomy score by carrying the political inheritance of 32 years of mobutuism to the paroxysm.

Congo is at present under the supervision of foreign army forces. The international opinion is aware that the brothers in arms of yesterday, who helped Mr Kabila ousting the Mobutu dictatorship are presently on the Congolese territory since September 1996 with Mr Kabila’s agreement, and not from August, 2 1998 as suggested by Mr Kabila. As the interests sharpen appetite and divisions, the good friends of yesterday have become worse enemies to day. So, history being a cyclic renewing in Congo, shouldn’t we wonder whether the new alliances are not preparing to morrow’s war?

The future of Congo, and lesser of its population, is not Mr Kabila’s upper preoccupation,: could we forget, at dam of the third millenium, that corporal punishment, extra-judiciary confiscation of property, dismissal of civil servants without regard to their statutes, arrests and convictions without judgements which were the principle model of society experimented by the sinister Pol-Pot, and now applied as dogma by Mr Kabila and his administration?

What meaning should be given to Mr Kabila’s visit in the Western countries ? Nothing can no longer astonish the Congolese people, since the western countries who have carefully handled Mobutu for so long cannot retract by refusing to welcome the continuator ot the Mobutu works.

Being in desperate straits in the country and controlling only a part of our national territory, the Kabila system is looking for external legitimacy like many other puppets who perpetuate misery of the African continent. The UDSP is therefore indignant at the fact that some western countries have accepted to welcome dictator Kabila. By this fact, these countries are minimising the fact that Mr Kabila is reducing our people to slavery and triting the contempt shown ostentatious by Mr Kabila toward the international community through humiliations inflicted to the UNO investigation commission, moreover considered as "American vampire case"; to the American administration through American hostages (Mr Hunter with his colleagues, Mr Jesse Jackson, Mrs Albright, Mrs Susan Rice; to Belgium treated as a terrorist state; to the European Union by forbidding Mr Tshisekedi to comply with the invitation of the European Parliament, by means of arms, to churhes by threats and arrests of clergymen …

For the UDSP, the solution to the Congolese crisis won’t come neither from Sudan, neither from Lybia, neither from Cuba, nor from France; it belongs to the people of Congo themselves to separate the wheat from the tares, by an internal debate.

Now the present system which origin and survival depend on foreign arms force, blind to the flash of the arms, shuts out any debate over the destiny of the country, stands for the start and the end, preaches the one-way thought and represses in blood any kind of diversity: in these conditions, how should it be possible to build up a state respecting the rights of the citizens?

The UDPS is opposed to the propaganda in favour of the dictators made in the West, but the UDPS acknowledges to everyone the right of setting the fox to mind the geese. The UDSP hopes however that the western democracies will request from their leaders to speak firmly to Mr Kabila so that he shouldn’t convert the domestic collapse into a diplomatic victory.

As dictators only understand when they are firmly spoken – last Saddam Hussein about-face towards the American government is very eloquent - the UDSP expects then from the Belgian government to obtain from the dictator Kabila following elements:

• The immediate stopping of the fights and the signing of a cease fire agreement so that, at one side, the long suffering of our population should stop, and at the other side, the meagre remaining resources of our country shouldn’t be wasted in an unnecessary war;

• The lifting of the ban of the political parties and the civil society so that they should effectively participate to all the steps for the search of solution to the crisis in our country, which requires freedom of movement of all the political actors, inside as well as outside the country.

• Concerning the role as facilitator or as mediator which the self proclaimed President of Congo is requesting to the Belgian government, the UDSP will only adhere to it under following condition:
