KINSHASA - The African Union called on Democratic Republic of Congo leaders to preserve "peace and stability" as a crisis in the perennially restive nation's shaky ruling coalition widened on Saturday.
On Saturday, about 100 lawmakers and Tshisekedi supporters tried to file a petition seeking the resignation of the pro-Kabila speaker of the lower house but failed to do so as "all the offices were closed," Leon Mubikayi, an MP said.Alarmed by the rising tensions in a country wracked by conflict, the head of the AU Commission Moussa Faki Mahama called for peace after talks with both Tshisekedi and Kabila in Kinshasa this week.
These included national security, the management of state assets, the independence of the judiciary and the organisation of elections.
