After a two-year delay, the body of the father of Democratic Republic of Congo’s president is to lie in state in his home country.
Veteran opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi died in Belgium in February 2017, aged 84.
But his body stayed in Brussels because of a row with former President Joseph Kabila. The deadlock ended when his son, Félix, became president last year.
Thousands of well-wishers have been gathering to pay their respects.
Some supporters waited at the airport with placards bearing the slogan “Le peuple d’abord,” French for “people first”, when his body arrived on Thursday, reports the
BBC ‘s Gaius Kowene from the capital, Kinshasa.
Many wore white clothes to symbolise that Tshisekedi was clean from corruption.
