DRC government evacuates Congolese stuck at Tripoli airport

Posted on 05:27 by Unknown
The DRC government chartered two flights to evacuate a couple of
hundred Congolese who've been stranded at Tripoli airport since the
start of the Libyan insurgency.

The first flight from Tripoli carrying more than one hundred Congolese
landed at Kinshasa N'Djili International Airport two days ago. There
are still another hundred Congolese stuck at the DRC embassy in
Tripoli.

The repatriated Congolese were shown on TV giving kudos to the Raïs
for his "patriotic and humanitarian action."

According to Alexis Thambwe Mwamba, DRC Foreign Affairs Minister,
another chartered plane is due to be flown to the Libyan capital in a
couple of days to evacuate the Congolese expats squatting the embassy.

The criminally-insane Ghaddafi was a "friend" of the Raïs to whom he'd
even given as a gift a huge Bedouin desert tent! The Raïs uses that
tent whenever he visits his stronghold of Kisangani, the provincial
capital of Orientale Province, where it is usually set on the small
stadium of St. Joseph Catholic parish in the Tshopo Commune. People in
Kinshasa speculate that the Raïs will no longer use that tent as it'd
henceforth be teeming with the ghosts of the victims of Ghaddafi's
killing spree.
