DRCONGO-POLITICS-OPPOSITION

Gabriel Kyungu wa Kumwanza (C), a former governer of Katanga province and political figure speaks during a press conference under an opposition Presidential candidate Moise Katumbi's poster on May 20, 2016 in Lubumbashi, in Katanga Province, southern DR Congo. The press conference was held following the indictment of opposition Presidential candidate Moise Katumbi and as the multi-millionaire former mining mogul and former governor of Katanga left the country for South Africa on May 20. Katumbi, who is seeking medical care pending his trial for threatening state security, left aboard a plane which took off from Lubumbashi at 8:03 pm (1803 GMT), an AFP correspondent said. Political tensions are high in DRC ahead of a scheduled Presidential election later this year which looks almost certain to be postponed. Opposition parties have accused President Kabila of trying to hang onto power by deliberately delaying the polls. / AFP / GUILLAUME KAZADI (Photo credit should read GUILLAUME KAZADI/AFP via Getty Images)
