(NNPA) - Before the November election, politics prevented successful negotiations for a new coronavirus stimulus package.

Supporters of President Félix Tshisekedi in the Democratic Republic of Congo celebrated on Thursday night as parliament voted to oust pro-Kabila speaker, Jeanine Mabunda. It's the latest round of a bitter dispute between President Felix Tshisekedi and supporters of Joseph Kabila.
A total of 484 lawmakers out of 500 were present. Some 281 voted in favor, while 200 voted against.
\"We are happy because Jeannine Mabunda has been removed from the National Assembly, we are very happy about her removal. This spirit of Kabilism is finally disappearing, we only need Felix Tshiskedi\", José Ngalamulumbe, a Tshisekedi supporters said.
On the floor of parliament, the move to oust Jeanine Mabunda elicited mixed reactions.
\"The departure of this office is the departure of Mr. Kabila, it's the end of Kabila's reign\", pro-Tshisekdi allied lawmaker said.
For Paulin Kashomba, a pro-Kabila Member of Parliament, \"Everything we've done here has had a manufactured basis of cheating. In fact, we had to reject this whole parade we're seeing here and we didn't even have to vote.\"
Kabila's supporters in the Common Front of the Congo party accuse President Tshisekedi of breaching the constitution.
Earlier, the speaker had asked the assembly to reject the petition against her due to ‘’purely technical and non-political reasons.’’
The roots of the crisis date back to the handover of power between Kabila and Tshisekedi in January 2019.
It was the DR Congo's first peaceful political transition since its independence from Belgium in 1960.
But Kabila, who is still only 49 after ruling for 18 years, retains huge clout through political allies and appointees in the military.

By NOMAAN MERCHANT and ALANNA DURKIN RICHER Associated Press HOUSTON (AP) — More than half of House Republicans, including their top two leaders, are backing a Texas lawsuit seeking to invalidate President-elect Joe Biden's victory in an extraordinary display of the party's willingness to subvert the will of voters.

BY MOSES MATENGA PARLIAMENT has summoned Local Government and Public Works minister July Moyo for grilling over the mass demolition of houses in Harare, which have brought President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration under the spotlight for human rights abuses. The august House, exercising its oversight function, also wants Moyo to give a ministerial statement explaining the rationale behind the demolitions. The also wanted a plausible explanation especially given that the demolitions were happening at a time Zimbabwe has received heavy rains and was in the middle of a major fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. About 200 houses were demolished by the City of Harare City in Budiriro, Harare, after the local authority obtained a High Court order to destroy the structures arguing they were illegally erected. The demolitions attracted censure from the civil society, opposition political parties and other stakeholders who questioned the timing of the move. Pictures of people braving the heavy rains, which included women and children crying and men battling to salvage and secure their belongings exposed to the vagaries of the weather, went viral on social media, triggering an outpour of sympathy. Some of the pictures showed furniture strewn all over in the mud, with only a few people having managed to ferry their property to safer places. Opposition MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa, who visited the area on Thursday, described the demolitions as “callous, disproportionate and inhumane”. Parliament is keen to establish why the government allowed the demolitions to proceed in the current unfavourable weather conditions that have left thousands of people, mainly children exposed. The affected residents under the Tembwe Housing co-operative, chaired by a Zanu PF official and 2018 losing candidate in the party primary elections Caleb Kadye, were left to face the rains and exposed to waterborne diseases at a time COVID-19 cases were also soaring. Mbizo MP Settlement Chikwinya demanded answers on Thursday on why the government was allowing that to happen. “However, in respect of Section 51 of our Constitution which provides for human dignity and Section 52 of the Constitution which provides for personal security, I implore the Government to properly consider its timing when demolishing illegal houses,” Chikwinya said. “Just yesterday (Wednesday), illegal settlements in Budiriro were destroyed amidst rainfall and bad weather. My call today and my prayer is that yes, whilst the laws may provide that the houses are illegal, I implore the executive to consider the timing of destroying such in respect of human dignity and personal security.” Ironically, Chikwinya said, the demolitions came on the day Zimbabwe joined the rest of the world in commemorating International Human Rights Day. He said the demolitions were a violation of people’s rights and dignity especially coming when the government has not provided an alternative. “Zimbabwe having enacted the new Constitution in 2013 enacted Section 44 of that Constitution that provid
