刚果(金)提议与卢旺达同步撤回法语国家组织秘书长人选 改推共识候选人

刚果民主共和国外交部长瓦格纳11月14日在柬埔寨金边表示,刚果(金)愿意撤回其法语国家组织秘书长候选人朱莉安娜·卢蒙巴,前提是卢旺达也撤回争取连任的现任秘书长穆希基瓦博,双方共同支持一名共识候选人。法语国家组织峰会定于11月15日在金边开幕,秘书长选举定于11月17日举行。
穆希基瓦博是卢旺达人,正寻求连任,共有三名挑战者,其中包括已故刚果独立英雄帕特里斯·卢蒙巴之女朱莉安娜·卢蒙巴。据《青年非洲》报道,法国总统马克龙此前曾要求卢旺达撤回穆希基瓦博的候选资格,卢旺达外交部长恩杜洪吉雷海表示基加利已拒绝这一要求。
法语国家组织由53个成员国家和政府组成。此次领导权之争发生在刚果(金)东部冲突持续、两国关系紧张的背景下。
DR Congo offers mutual withdrawal of Francophonie leadership candidates with Rwanda in favour of a consensus pick
The Democratic Republic of Congo's Foreign Minister, Therese Kayikwamba Wagner, said in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on November 14 that her country would withdraw its candidate for Secretary-General of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie, Juliana Lumumba, if Rwanda also pulls out its nominee, the incumbent Louise Mushikiwabo, in favour of a consensus candidate. The organisation's summit is due to begin in Phnom Penh on November 15, with the leadership election scheduled for November 17.
Mushikiwabo, a Rwandan, is seeking another term against three challengers, including Juliana Lumumba, daughter of Congolese independence hero Patrice Lumumba. According to Jeune Afrique magazine, French President Emmanuel Macron had asked Rwanda to withdraw Mushikiwabo's candidacy in favour of a compromise candidate, and Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe said Kigali had rejected the request.
The organisation brings together 53 member states and governments. The leadership dispute comes amid strained relations between Kinshasa and Kigali over the conflict in eastern DR Congo.
