But he faces serious fires burning at home as he ends a troubled alliance with former President Joseph Kabila and is easing out other holdovers from Kabila\u2019s regime. Observers are already wondering how he will handle it all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cKabila has not left the world of politics,\u201d said his spokesman Alain Atundu. \u201cWe\u2019re now starting to put a battle plan in place.\u201d Currently, Kabila is living in his farm in Katanga province near the Zambian border, far away from the capital Kinshasa.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Meanwhile, at his new post at the AU, the DRC president\u2019s continental objectives are impressive if not overwhelming. They include launching the African Continental Free Trade Area, signing partnerships with the European Union; and fulfilling the AU\u2019s 2021 theme which is Arts, Culture, and Heritage: Levers for Building the Africa We Want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Tshisekedi will push for investment in the Grand Inga Dam hydroelectric project on the Congo River &#8211; a $14 billion project that could meet up to 40% of the continent\u2019s electricity demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Dealing with COVID-19 is high on Tshisekedi\u2019s list of priorities. He\u2019ll oversee the continental initiatives spearheaded by outgoing chair Cyril Ramaphosa, the AU Commission, and the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (<a href=\"https:\/\/africacdc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">CDC<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">At the same time, critics will be watching how the AU handles the election of Moussa Faki Mahamat, who ran for chair of the African Union Commission unopposed. He\u2019s held the spot since 2017.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Faki\u2019s unfulfilled promise to act on alleged sexual harassers and fraudsters at the AU could complicate matters for the new chair. The AU\u2019s own 2018 investigation implicated 44 senior AU officials but no action has been taken against any of them.
