Abstract

The defeated ‘Congolité’ Bill in the Democratic Republic of Congo sought to exclude from high office those not born to ‘Congolese’ parents. Despite its defeat in parliament, the infiltration of authentic notions of Congolese identity into society could intensify ethnic tensions ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
