A massive "resource for infrastructure" deal between China and the Democratic Republic of Congo has been criticised by Kinshasa as too favourable to Beijing. President Felix Tshisekedi was there in May to rebalance the contract. Three months later, Congolese civil society groups are upset over what they call a lack of transparency over the ongoing negotiations.
“It is unacceptable that we should have given that many advantages while the country is getting nothing in return,” said Jules Alingete Key, the state auditor of the Congolese finance inspection.
