In this study, it has been shown that the contexts and conditions in which political parties are born and evolve have an influence on the behavior of militants. At the end of the constitution of February 18, 2006 of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the political parties have the mission to ensure the strengthening of national consciousness and civic education. However, within Congolese political parties in general, and in the UDPS and PPRD in particular, this notion is almost systematically absent. These two parties which were in coalition although all advocating social democracy as an ideology, are, beyond their typological divergence, that is to say one radical and the other conservative, born in different contexts. The UDPS, born in 1982 as an opposition party to counterbalance the Mobutu regime, despite being already in power, the legacy of opponents is still present in the heads of its activists who sometimes misunderstand what is this a rule of law. At the headquarters of kasumbalesa in Haut-Katanga when the UDPS flag went up everyone was forced to stop! It is therefore a partitocratic regime in the making, the young people of the UDPS are gradually assimilating to the imbonerakure of the CNDD-FDD in BURUNDI. With regard to the PPRD, born in 2002 as a ruling party and which ruled the country for more than a decade, characterized by mismanagement, corruption, embezzlement, embezzlement of public funds, muzzling of the political opposition, the cult of personality, … considered itself during this coalition, rightly or wrongly, as the presidential party. Sometimes threatening the end of the coalition, "If the coalition partner no longer wants it, as far as we are concerned, we will draw the necessary constitutional consequences, that is to say go straight ahead and without hesitation to cohabitation,” said PPRD permanent secretary Emmanuel Ramazani Shadary one day. On Wednesday July 8, 2020 a violent clash took place in Lubumbashi between the militants of the UDPS and the PPRD. These two political parties in coalition, with regard to the behaviors that characterize them, due to the conditions in which they were born and evolved, are more tigers than lambs.

The present reflection had as a focus, the unearthing of the factors that overshadow the effective implementation of decentralization in the Congolese political system. These factors come in particular in the form of the imperatives of the party-state and the legal imbroglio. That is to say, the national life of the DR Congolese is almost systematically dominated by political parties and groups that hold republican institutions hostage to such an extent that, to access a position of responsibility, it is necessary in most cases be a member of a political party in power. So, having sung and danced a lot is a sure job application and curriculum vitae (CV) to get hired. This is what we call party-states. In this perspective, political parties become structures that serve as springboards for getting a job in public services or being appointed mayor, mayor, etc. In this perspective, the effective implementation of decentralization becomes hypothetical because the criteria are not respected by the political actors who appoint the heads of decentralized territorial entities, while decentralization presupposes the election of local authorities by local populations. This organizational inadequacy is also explained by the various related laws, sometimes pursuing, and this in a paradoxical way, an antipodal order of extravagance.
