In June 2026, congolese footballer Cédric Bakambu was seen holding a sign that read “Maîtrisable”. This word has become a powerful slogan among supporters of the Léopards, the national team of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. But behind this simple chant lies a much more complex story, linked to a political trial that has gripped the country. The trial involves prominent figures such as Joseph Kabila and Félix Tshisekedi, and references have been made to the Makala prison.
