Stan,

I agree on Tshisekedi, he is not better or worst than Kabila.

At this level what matters is not the results but the process and credibility of international community. The Financial Time has a very good article on this:

DRC opposition rejects Kabila re-election

“Peace will be precarious and the Congolese state will remain weak if
the young Congolese who courageously went to the polls find out that
bullets still matter more than ballots when it comes to power.”

Those who believe now they have leverage on Kabila are just fooling themselves.
