Paul-Joseph Mukungubila

He is the leader of the "Church of the Lord Jesus Christ", established in Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, Kolwezi, Kalemie,[1] Brussels, Paris and Washington DC area.

[2][3] His disciples declared that he is the leader announced by the prophecies of Simon Kimbangu and the Bitawala (or Kitawala) on the advent of the true independence of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

[6][7] In his speeches in the media, and through open letters to the international community, he regularly denounced the "Rwandan occupation", the attempts to "Balkanize" the DRC, alleged daily mass rapes of Congolese children and women by men from Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda, the massacre of the civilian population, the selling-off of the raw materials, and the alleged looting of the natural resources of the DRC by neighboring countries, including Rwanda.

A year later, on 15 May 2015, the trial ended with the South African justice deciding to abandon the prosecution against him and thus reject the extradition request made by the Congolese government because of "insufficient evidence".

Think of the French dead who fell during the occupation of your country by Germans, which had forced General De Gaulle to find himself in Brazzaville, in the Congo, and which he declared to be the capital of free France".
