International Crisis Group has published a new report on Congo's stalled democratic agenda. They say that nearly four years after Joseph Kabila won the presidency in elections hailed as a milestone in the peace process, power is being centralised at the presidential office, checks and balances barely exist, and civil liberties are regularly undermined, despite growing signs that the regime is unable to manage local conflicts. It says the regime has undermined the independence of the judicial branch by running an anti-corruption campaign that is politically biased.
