Bart Ouvry is being booted out because the EU extended sanctions against ruling party candidate Emmanuel Shadary.

EU sanctions were slapped on Emmanuel Shadary for his role, as a member of Joseph Kabila’s government, in the brutal crackdown on anti-government protests in 2017.

Despite objections from the DRC government, the EU’s extended these punitive measures.

Violence and chaos reigns in the DRC ahead of tomorrow’s presidential elections.

Rioters in the eastern city of Beni, ransacked an EBOLA assessment centre, protesting against the authorities decision to delay voting there and in Butembo and Yumbi until March because of violence and the spreading EBOLA outbreak.
