The European Union (EU) has condemned the Democratic Republic of Congo’s decision to expel its ambassador ahead of crucial elections on Sunday.
EU spokeswoman said the order for Head of the EU Delegation to the Democratic Republic of Congo Bart Ouvry to leave within 48 hours was “completely unjustified.
DR Congo said it had taken the decision in retaliation for sanctions imposed on ruling party presidential candidate Emmanuel Ramazani Shadary.
The run-up to DR Congo’s poll has been marred by violence and chaos.
