Talk:Joseph Kabila

message: What's with the end of the article? It's awful! I want to delete it, but I don't want to step on someone's toes. The formatting is screwy, english is broken, and POV is questionable. I think I might just delete it. Revert if you feel strongly about it.

message: I'm not Congolese nor have any sort of relation or vested interest with RDC, I was just looking for some complementary info on this character and I found that the Wikipedia article is written in an absolutely POV style in what seems a sort of politically motivated vandalism. The current text seems to state as facts things that, while they could be even true, are not commonly accepted as such (ref. , any of the other Wikipedia articles on RDC and the Kabila family). I don't feel able to fix this, so I have reported to the administrators.

message: The intoduction of this article is one of the worst ones on Wikipedia. Citations are also needed to support facts such as the involvement of Joseph Kabila in the assasination of his father Laurent Desiree Kabila. This article needs some serious revisions. To not forget, this African leader has always been internationally and officially known as Joseph Kabila. Where is the whole Hypolite Kanamba name coming from? This bad article is really an insult.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.119.62.37 (talk • contribs) 14 July 2006

thread_title: Current Event Tag

message: Apparently there is a minor story making its rounds that Kabila is the illegitimate son of someone or other and his actual name is Kanambe.  (I count 750 Google hits for the name right now vs 771,000 for "Joseph Kabila".)  This might merit mention if a coherent explanation can be mustered, but simply adding "Hyppolite Kanambe" as another name for Joseph Kabila is not acceptable. - BanyanTree 20:02, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hyppolite Kanambe 

message: A part from being corrupt, Kabila has carried out a campaign of killings Congolese prominent human rights activists and members of the opposition. Some of the prominent victims he is alleged of Killing are: father Christian Bakulene, father Daniel Cizimya Nakamaga and 12 other catholic priests in Bukavu, South Kivu.
Other recent victims include Serge Maheshe a United Nations radio OKAPI journalist, Daniel Boteti and Marius Gangale Provincial Members of Parliament, Pascal Kabungulu, Floribert Chebeya and Didas Namujimbo amongst many others.  These killings have been linked to Kabila and to date no investigation or prosecution has been brought against any one. 
In 2005, president Kabila is alleged of using his presidential guards in an attempt to kill Fredrick Wangabo Mwenengabo a well respected human rights activist form the Eastern Congo. In October 2012, president is alleged of using his guards in attempt to kill Dr. Denis Mukwege a respected gynaecologist working with raped women in Eastern Congo.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.34.66.188 (talk) 03:04, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plot to overthrow Joseph Kabila after Laurent Kabila's assassination 

message: The "Early life and education" seems completely illogical.
I'm reading "He is supposedly the adopted son of Laurent-Désiré Kabila and Sifa Mahanya.", OK so he is supposed to be their adopted son.
"There are however some doubts as to the correctness of this official story. Many, especially those in the Congolese diaspora, believe that Laurent-Désiré Kabila was not his biological father; but rather his step father." People believe he is adopted, yet doubt the official story that he is adopted?
And then "Many opposition voices called for a DNA test to prove his identity as Laurent-Désiré Kabila's natural child...". "Prove his identity", where has he been claiming to be son of Kabila? Citations
Can someone with more knowledge of the topic than I please fix this? Seems to be written by people with opposing point of view smashed together.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.45.190.211 (talk) 10:01, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Kabila now has gained some weight and sport a healthy beard almost half grayed out. His appearance thus has changed quite a bit from the photo on the article. Could someone upload a more up to date photo? --Aréat (talk) 10:56, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
