Is Noël Tshiani an anti-Semite?

Until recently, Jewish participation in national life had never been a problem for the Congolese. The political news of  Congo (DRC) of recent years only confirms a massive enthusiasm for zozo whose absolute racist hatred is no mystery (hardly a family secret) for no one …And yet! The perpetual celebration of “zozo” is one of the symptoms strongest cultural traditions of the secular banality of racism and the still obscured importance of”the heritage brought back from Farakhanist circles from the United States”. Noël Tshiani, an exceptional racist intends to spoil the party! He proves his involvement in the most fanatical racism to cover up these intolerable facts in the microcosm of his own. The first Jews arrived in  Congo at the time of Belgian colonization, at the very beginning of the 20th century. It was in 1922 that the Jews of Rhodes (then an Italian colony) emigrated in order to improve their lives and that of their families, including Katumbi’s ancestors. Many of them will participate in the
construction of the Katanga railway network. They devote themselves to trade and also create factories textile and flour mills, and have played an important role in the economic development of Congo. What if the current wave of tribalism isn’t as new as it looks?
What if, today, behind the novelty of hate actors, a more old one continuing to produce its effects indirectly? If this were the case, the tribal conflict, a cause spontaneously invoked to explain the unprecedented nature of the current crisis could well prove to be, if not a pretext, at least a simple trigger. Far from having become, as we believe, a pure export product. Doesn’t the racist worm always hide in the heart of Congolese society and
misunderstandings generated by Congolese universalism? In the DRC, a controversial bill on the nationality of presidential candidates.The project would exclude any candidate with a foreign parent, including Moïse Katumbi, former governor of Katanga, born to a Congolese mother and a Greek father. Monusco and the United States say no to Congolity: the international community has no short memory can we read in the newspaper which explains: “She knows that, in the past, the nationality had done enormous damage in Ivory Coast. As this plague re-germinates dangerously in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
