On Wednesday 26 September, 2007, the Kinshasa press focuses on the participation of the DRC in the General Assembly of the United Nations.

The Democratic Republic of Congo "has just been elected to the vice presidency of the 62e session of UNO," informs L'Avenir.

For L'Avenir: "This is the reflection of the confidence which the international community gives him, in spite of the efforts made by the enemies of democracy."

The international community "which concentrates more on the Darfur conflict must give the same attention to the DRC where a drama is being out played with individuals such as Nkunda and of the states who are opposed to the march democracy," L'Avenir underlines.

Le Palmarès informs that "Jean-Pierre Bemba himself arrived in New York and waits to be received by the UN Secretary General Ban Ki moon."

Or more exactly by "the UN director of peacekeeping operations, Jean-Marie Guehenno," Le Potential believes.

Whether Mr. Ban Ki moon or Jean-Marie Guehenno, the objective of Jean-Pierre Bemba is "... to get assurances for his security" announces Le Potential before adding that "the UN Secretary General will not fail to discuss Bemba with the head of the Congolese State."

"It is a question of obtaining from Kabila a commitment about Mr. Bemba's security in order to support his return to the country," informs Le Potential.

In other words, explains Le Potential, "to arrive at a political compromise by suspending, if necessary, the legal procedures that await the president of the MLC (upon his return to DRC)."

For the time being, "a meeting with senator Bemba in New York is not envisaged in the diary of Joseph Kabila," notes Le Palmarès.

In Kinshasa on national policy, "0,5 to 1% of the budget will be devoted to the financing of political parties," recalls L'Observateur.

However, La Tempête des Tropiques, specifies: "the political parties which did not take part in the elections of 2006 will not be financed by the Congolese State."

Anyway, "considering the budget, all the estimated 800 Congolese political parties cannot be financed", indicates La Tempête des Tropiques, before saying that "... this financing should not cause personal enrichment."
