KINSHASA. – Plans to bring home the body of long-time Congolese opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi and give him a grand national funeral appear to have run aground, mired in a rumpus between his friends and foes.Almost 10 days after his death at 84 in Brussels, there was no sign Thursday of his coffin’s imminent return to Democratic Republic of Congo as had been hoped.
Last weekend, thousands of tearful members of Europe’s Congolese diaspora turned out in Brussels to pay their last respects to Tshisekedi, who had a three-day funeral wake, his casket on display in a large hall made available by city authorities. – AFP.
