This image of the meeting this morning in Goma between Joseph Kabila, leader of the FRN, and James Swan, head of the MONUSCO, is quite illustrative of the charisma and aura of the former president.
The arrangement of the guests, the scenario of his entrance with the entire assembly rising to their feet, is a sort of masterclass.
It feels like being in an audience with a sitting Head of State.
You can reproach him for everything, but Joseph Kabila knew how to dress and command respect for the functions of state.
Unlike what's done today, grandeur and dignity accompanied his exercise of power.
