1) Government resigns; and 2) DRC evacuates its citizens from shell-shocked Brazzaville

Posted on 15:06 by Unknown
1) Government resigns

After three years and a half in office, Prime Minister Adolphe Muzito
tendered to Prez Kabila his government resignation on Tuesday, March
6. Kabila then promptly appointed the Presidential Majority
stalwart--and one of the vice-prime ministers of the outgoing
government--Louis Koyagialo Ngbase te Gerengbo as acting Premier.

Two dozen other members of the outgoing government who have been
elected to the National Assembly have also resigned--including the
outspoken Information Minister Lambert Mende and Planning Minister
Olivier Kamitatu.

2) DRC evacuates its citizens from Brazzaville

The voluntary repatriation of DRC citizens from Brazzaville is
underway. The DRC government started ferrying hundreds of Congolese
from the shell-shocked capital of the other Congo on Monday.
Brazzaville and Kinshasa are the world's closest capital cities.
