DRC Opposition in Exile: Inside a Historic Brussels Summit

Granted rare access to a landmark gathering of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s opposition leaders in Brussels, Elsa Buchanan and colleague Romil Patel filmed this report capturing their first united push to challenge President Joseph Kabila’s grip on power. Through exclusive interviews with Olivier Kamitatu, Martin Fayulu, Jean‑Bernard Ewanga and the late Étienne Tshisekedi — father of current president Félix Tshisekedi — the piece documents a pivotal moment when exiled and domestic opposition figures sought to build momentum for political transition. The report offers an inside look at a meeting shaped by urgency, secrecy and the high stakes of Congo’s political future.
